than fighting on the side of the Russians at Tannenberg (where
the Russians withstood 140,000 casualties in WWI.) Fight in FIVE

In many ways, the history of humanity is the history of our
conflicts against one another over the millienia. In Darkest of
Days players physically explore this history and endevor to
maintain it as it was meant to unfold. As the game opens the
player is snatched from grim date with death by a shadow
organization. As unlikely as this would seem, this is only the
beginning as you are placed in the even more unlikely position of
guardian of key conflicts in human history. Shuttled back and
forth in time, it is your task to ensure that specific events on
both sides of these conflicts occur as they were meant to happen
and that mistakes made along the way are fixed.
Gameplay
Action in Darkest of Days is mission directed. As the player is
transported back and forth in time, directives are spelled out
that can include anything from victory of one side over the
other, to the survival of an individual important to history in
an otherwise doomed company and even assasinations. These actions
take place in a variety of conflicts within time periods
including the Roman era, the American Civil and Indian Wars, WWI
and WWII. Mission types include stealth, artillery assaults, and
sniper attacks and players can expect in most situations to be
called upon to impact events from both sides of the front lines.
To make these impacts players will have over 20 weapons on hand,
most conflict-specific, but also some futuristic. They will also
be able to choose their own means of completing missions
according to the resources at hand across wide open battlefields
designed to support over 300 combatants, each with their own AI
capacities.
