    I just saw this on steam and it seems like it got pretty good reviews. Anyone tried it yet? I'm thinking of trying it but I was just wondering if anyone's already playing in the future :)

    Save 14% on Achron on Steam

    P.S. According to steam, DirectX 50 is required for this game. Makes sense that the game supports time travel. :)

    Looks a bit clunky and outdated.

    I guess the concept and innovation is there but if the game feels bland and controls bland a concept alone cant revive it.

    Id probably give a go if it was $20 or less but it simply doesn't look like a $30+ game to me.

    I'll look for more content on it later to see if I was just looking at the wrong stuff but what I saw so far has me not impressed. Plus when you have SC2 why would you need any other RTS game? :D

    You had me at time travel... but if it's steam only, I'm out. :(

    It could also have been tongue-in-cheek. Still very funny. :D
