🐾 Review: Super Time Force Ultra Video
Played on: [Steam/PC] · Release: [2014] · Designer/Studio: [Capybara] · Time: [⏱ 60m] · Players: [1] · Store Link : Super Time Force Ultra
TL;DR: A chaotic time bending shooter that bounds through timelines with the wild energy of a pup chasing every ball at once.
Would I play this instead of tidying the kitchen? [Absolutely].
What is it?
Super Time Force Ultra is a side scrolling action shooter built around constant rewinding and replaying of your own actions. Each mission becomes a layered timeline where your past selves fight alongside your current one, creating a mix of run and gun combat and clever puzzle solving.
How it Plays
You pick a hero, charge into a level and use powerful abilities to blast enemies while racing against a strict time limit. When you die or want to adjust your path, you rewind time and spawn again, creating a new version of yourself that fights in parallel with your previous attempts. Levels become chaotic layers of explosions, clones and overlapping strategies. The game encourages experimentation, speed and a willingness to try absurd solutions.
