About Super Time Force Ultra
Super Time Force Ultra is a fast-paced action platformer where you manipulate time to fight enemies across six distinct eras. Capybara Games crafted this 2014 gem, blending shooter and adventure elements with a twist: you control time itself. Rewind to create up to 16 copies of your character, each with unique abilities, and coordinate their actions in real-time. The game’s charm lies in its clever use of time loops for combat and puzzles, set against a sci-fi narrative. It’s a single-player experience that feels chaotic and fun, ideal for fans of inventive mechanics. Available on PC, consoles, and handhelds, it offers a punchy campaign that leans into retro stylings while playing with modern ideas.
Gameplay
You spend most sessions shooting enemies, dodging hazards, and rewinding time to create clones. Each rewind lets you reset your position, but you can only do this manually, not automatically. Managing up to 16 time-split versions of your character becomes a ballet of bullets and bounces, as you line up attacks or cover each other’s weaknesses. Levels shift between prehistoric jungles, medieval castles, and futuristic cities, each with distinct visuals and enemies. The controls are tight but demand precision, especially when juggling multiple timelines. Sessions peak in the first 30-60 minutes of each level, balancing action with light puzzle-solving. It’s a high-energy loop that rewards quick reflexes and creative planning.
What Players Think
The game holds an 80/100 Metacritic score, with critics praising its originality but noting a steep difficulty curve. PlayPile community stats show an average playtime of 8 hours, with 42% of players completing the base story. Positive moods dominate reviews: “Time manipulation is a genius twist on co-op” and “Chaotic fun that never gets old.” However, 18% of players express frustration over clunky checkpoint systems and repetitive boss designs. Achievement completion rates hover at 78%, suggesting some players abandon the game mid-campaign. The Steam community gives it a 83% “Very Positive” rating, with many calling it a hidden gem for fans of quirky action games.
PlayPile's Take
Super Time Force Ultra is a bold experiment in time-based gameplay, best for players who enjoy high-difficulty challenges and inventive mechanics. It lacks polish in areas like checkpoint spacing, but the rewind system remains a standout. With a price tag of $19.99 (historical average), it’s a low-risk pick for those seeking a niche experience. Achievements add 10-15 hours of optional content, but the core campaign is short. If you’re okay with rough edges and love games that play with time, this one’s worth a try. Skip it if you prefer linear, methodical action.
