Achron - OMG My head just exploded!

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

So I just discovered this mind-bending indie game called Achron. What is Achron you ask? Why, Achron is this. A "Meta-time strategy" game, aka, an RTS with real, in-game, adaptive time travel gameplay. And it is mind blowingly awesome.

As those videos show, you can control your forces in multpile time periods, issuing commands to forces in the past or future, going back in time and correcting mistakes and altering strategies in order to overcome your foes, sending units back in time to help buff your armies up and even create paradoxes. You can travel to the future to scout or gain knowledge of an impending attack, or even set off bombs that send everything caught in the blast to the future, buying you time to prepare a defence, etc.

The game is still in Alpha, but you can preorder it and download the demo now and it's expected for release some time early next year and is without doubt the most ingenius take on the RTS genre I've ever seen. I look forward to its arrival, so should all of you.
