Darkest of Days

KronoteK has been founded to use their time-travel-technology to set things right with history - whatever that means. One thing's for sure: The player was one second away from losing his scalp to an Indian at Custer's Last Stand when KronoteK came by and snatched him. The reason: KronoteK themselves can't do anything themselves in order to keep the time-continuum safe. So they need persons marked MIA - people who, as far as history is concerned, are only a ghost. Of course, KronoteK isn't the only time-traveling-agency out there, and soon after your first missions in the American Civil War and World War I, the problems get a lot bigger when well-equipped time-travelers enter the scene and mess everything up.

Important persons from history glow either golden or blue. While the first are mission-critical and have to be saved at all costs. The latter can be taken out by either shooting them in their weak spots or using the chasers, small high-energy-balls that only react to blue-glowing enemies and will take them out without ruining the timeline. Although killing one or more blue-glowing enemies won't end the mission, the reward at the end will decrease from three to no upgrade points at all. These are needed to upgrade the two weapon-types the player can use - rifle and sidearm - in four categories, including "Rate of Fire" and Accuracy.
