    Awful game. Overly complex and stupid time controls, swapping characters and a constant count down clock make for a frustrating game. This looked like at last a homage to the retro greats without the usual pretentious gimmicks that ruin modern retro style games. Unfortunately it's not. The frustrating mess like gameplay means you never really focus on the graphics or art style or have anyAwful game.

This looked like at last a homage to the retro greats without the usual pretentious gimmicks that ruin modern retro style games. Unfortunately it's not. The frustrating mess like gameplay means you never really focus on the graphics or art style or have any enjoyment, you just look at that fukcing clock. Avoid at all costs.… Expand

    This game seriously sucked. Story and dialogue was funny, liked different time period based levels. Didn't mind the terrible over-pixelated graphics like some people. The biggest problem is the game's entire mechanic. The rewind mechanic is overly complicated and finicky. The problem wouldn't even be bad but for no apparent reason they add a 60 second time limit to every level and bossThis game seriously sucked. Story and dialogue was funny, liked different time period based levels. Didn't mind the terrible over-pixelated graphics like some people. The biggest problem is the game's entire mechanic. The rewind mechanic is overly complicated and finicky. The problem wouldn't even be bad but for no apparent reason they add a 60 second time limit to every level and boss fight. It makes no sense and takes all fun out of the game. During regular levels it isnt so bad, but just forces you to rush through level as quickly as possible. During boss fight it ruins the game. You never had enough time bc the bosses have huge health, fly around, and have tiny hitboxes on certain spots you have to aim at with the terrible imprecise aiming controls. This means you could be 3/4 out of time and realize you haven't done enough damage for time limit and have to start it all over again which is so dumb. But with the mechanic it makes game super repetitive. For boss fights, you go through 10 seconds of shooting him, then rewind, go through it again with another character, then rewind again, then do it with another character. Then youve passed that 10 seconds and the other characters are gone and you have to rinse and repeat this. It super annoying and gets old fast, and the added unnecessary time limit makes it unbearable on boss fights. I got sick of repeating boss fights 100 times with different characters replaying only to not kill in the appropriate time limit. It's not inherent difficulty, even with the 1 hit kill, its just added repetition the game forces on you with the mechanic, but especially the time limit. Pass on this turd.… Expand

    Concept of time travelling has been involved in movies and games many many times, 95% of them are craps. Do you really think this game with his cheap rewind mechanic will turn the tables ?

    A unique, clever, satisfying and endearing game. There's very little negative to say about this brilliant time-travelling shooter - we enjoyed every second of our time with it. [Issue#262, p.74]

    Only minor control issues hamper this deceptively clever and immensely entertaining game. [Nov 2015, p.100]

    Super Time Force Ultra is a decent porting for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita. The game experience is either fast and tactical thanks to time travelling and there are many different characters to control, each one with his own skills.
