    I'm not going to sugar coat it. I think I'm old enough and experienced enough the "shiny" new game to know how to identify those that I gain a cheap thrill from and those that I see real potential from. Achron is one of the latter. An RTS you say, been there done that. One that includes time-travel as a fundamental game-play mechanic... Now you have me interested.

    I've been following this game for quite a while now and now it is finally available for pre-order. The first 500 gain €10 off, so naturally, me being the impulse purchaser I am, I bought it.

    I've played the tutorial now through and am about to mess around with the single player and all I can say is that it is all I dreamed and more.

    The graphics are pretty awful, of that I can't emphasise enough but even the most simple of tactics involving time-travel add immense scope to an otherwise stagnant genre.

    If you pre-order now then you gain access to current alpha build and any subsequent beta builds including the (hopefully) soon-to-be-released multiplayer beta build and the final game.

    Personally I love it, I haven't enjoyed the challenge of an RTS as much since Starcraft and for me, that is saying something.

    The time travel is an interesting addition, watched a coupe of gameplay videos. The graphics really are terribly basic though :/
