About Super Time Force Ultra
Capybara Games released Super Time Force Ultra in August 2014 as a standout indie shooter that treats time as your primary weapon. This platformer drops you into six distinct eras, ranging from cavemen to futuristic sci-fi settings. You control one of sixteen unique characters while manipulating the timeline to solve puzzles and defeat enemies. The game launched on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Vita, Mac, Linux, and even the older Xbox 360. It stands out because you do not just play through levels once. Instead you can rewind your actions and see past versions of yourself fight alongside you. This concept creates a frantic single-player experience that feels like a chaotic team effort without needing other humans at your side.
Gameplay
You run, jump, and shoot while managing a time rewinder mechanic that lets you pause and replay the last few seconds instantly. A typical session involves dying repeatedly to learn enemy patterns then restarting from a checkpoint while keeping your previous selves active on screen. You can summon up to sixteen versions of yourself to overwhelm bosses or reach high platforms simultaneously. Each character brings different weapons and movement styles that change how you approach obstacles. The controls feel tight and responsive, allowing for precise jumps during chaotic firefights. Levels are short but dense with secrets and alternate paths that only appear if you time your rewinds correctly. You must coordinate multiple copies of yourself to trigger switches or draw fire while another version sneaks past.
What Players Think
Players on PlayPile rate this title highly with a Metacritic score of 80 out of 100 backing up the hype. The community mood leans heavily toward chaotic fun and replayability, with an average completion rate showing most users finish all six time periods. Average playtime sits around fifteen hours for a first run but jumps to thirty hours when factoring in speedruns and achievement hunting. Review snippets frequently mention the satisfaction of seeing sixteen versions of your character destroy an entire army at once. Price data shows the game hits a historical low of $5.24 on Steam, making it a cheap addition to any library. Achievement seekers note that unlocking all sixteen characters requires mastering different playstyles rather than just grinding levels.
PlayPile's Take
This game is worth your time if you enjoy fast-paced shooters that reward clever thinking over reflexes alone. At $5.24 on Steam, the value proposition is strong considering the sheer amount of content hidden behind the time-travel mechanic. You will spend a lot of time dying and rewinding, so patience helps more than skill in some sections. The achievement list demands you explore every corner of each era to find all secrets. Capybara Games built something here that feels fresh despite the retro aesthetics. Do not expect a story-heavy experience but do expect hours of frantic fun that other platformers simply cannot match.
