Product Description
-------------------
In DARKEST OF DAYS, you’ll get to experience some of the most
varied game play ever released in one title. Things will never
get stale as you travel to distant times and fight alongside
people from that period. Fighting in Antietam (the bloodiest day
of the American civil War) feels much different than fighting on
the side of the Russians at Tannenberg (where the Russians
withstood 140,000 causalities in WWI). Fight in FIVE different
Time Periods. Whether it’s in Pompeii, Antietam, WWI, WWII, or
Little Big Horn you will fight with real weapons from the time
period. You will battle against enemies that fight in different
ways, all reflective of how fighting was done at the time.
Participate in EPIC Battle scenes. You will fight against the
Confederates (and the Union at times), facing a staggering number
of troops, all fighting in unison. Ready, …steady men FIRE!
You will jump from the trenches in WWI to lead an attack against
the Huns. You will fire artillery to hit distant targets. You
will defend to the last man!

. Story
In many ways, the history of humanity is the history of our
conflicts against one another over the millennia. In Darkest of
Days, you wade through that history as you take on the role of
Alexander Morris, an unlucky foot soldier who gets transferred to
General Custer’s regiment days before the Battle of Little
Bighorn. Moments before his inevitable demise, a futuristic time
agent warps in to save Morris and transports him to the future
where he is told that time travel is now a reality. However, an
unknown faction is attempting to rewrite history for their own
benefit. Your job is to stop them, and you’ll fight your way
through eras spanning thousands of years to do it.
Gameplay
Action in Darkest of Days is mission based. 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 assassinations, and the survival of an individual
important to history in an otherwise doomed company. 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 to the time
period visited. 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.
Key Game Features

the late 19th century, you will fight with real weapons from the
time period. You will battle against enemies that fight in
different ways, all reflective of how fighting was done at the
time.

one-sided affair, and so the developers of Darkest of Days have

side of the conflict. In addition, in trying to keep history

you to "mend" time.
