TimeShift

In the nearby future, scientists develop a Quantum suit that allows its carrier to travel through time. Two prototypes called Alpha and Betasuit are ready for testing when Aiden Krone enters the lab, steals the Alphasuit and makes a time-jump before he blows up the building. Luckily, you were there and had the chance to jump into the Betasuit and activate the time travel before the building was destroyed. However, it took the suit a second too long to jump, so the explosion hit it, and your jump didn't go as planned. When you wake up in an alley in the future, you quickly realize that Krone has already declared himself leader of the world and transformed it into a totalitarian state with him as the dictator.

Fight your way through hordes of enemies with futuristic, but also conventional weapons like pistols or shotguns. Your suit isn't rendered totally useless. It still allows you to slow down, rewind, and forward time for a short period. This not only allows you to overcome obstacles like fire but can also be used to trick your enemies. Players can slow down the time and then steal the weapon out of the hand of an enemy if they haven't a strong enough grip on it.

There are notable differences with the time manipulation element from other games, such as the Prince of Persia series. Manipulating the time won't affect yourself when you're wounded, and if you die, you remain dead and must reload. The game also doesn't feature medipacks; instead, the hero just needs to rest for a second to recover.

Manipulating time is also part of the multiplayer experience. Besides the normal game modes Deathmatch, Team-Deathmatch, One-on-One, and Capture the flag, the game features King of Time and Meltdown Madness.

In King of Time, there's a Time Sphere in the center of the map that makes you impervious to all time effects. To win the game, you need to rack up kills while you have the item. In Meltdown Madness, you need to throw Chrono Grenades at the opposing team's machine to prevent it from functioning.

The Chrono Grenades are also part of all the other game modes in addition to the Time Shield and the Time Resistance power-up. The Chrono Grenades slow down, forward, or rewind time in the area of the blast. The Time Shield not only makes you immune to time manipulation but also slows down foreign objects in a specific area, which is good for dodging enemy fire.

The Time Resistance power-up grants immunity against all time effects for a short period of time.
