Description
Timeshift is a first person action game that puts you in the role of a famous test pilot Colonel Michael Swift who has just accepted a special mission from the government to travel through time in a machine called the Chronomicon. Armed with a Quantum Suit Swift is able to control time, by slowing, reversing or stopping it altogether. Upon your return things have changed, and time has somehow shifted to an alternative history in which you suddenly find yourself an enemy and on the run. Timeshift uses an proprietary game engine called Saber3D Engine which brings the virtual world of metal, machinery and steam power to life.

TimeShift's time control features affect all characters and will allw you to move around freely as they move is slow motion or are frozen in time. The game also includes more than 30 missions in varying environments including outdoor, urban, aerial and indoor settings. In addition to this single player mode, there is also a multiplayer capability that allows for up to 16 players to play against each other.
