Description

How would you command your forces if you stood outside of time? Send your units forward and backward through time to the very moment when they're needed most?

Achron is the world's first meta-time strategy game, allowing you to dynamically alter your past and future actions, send your units back and forth through time, even engineer temporal paradoxes that work to your advantage.
