If you're a fan of the franchise or enjoy tactical strategy games, I highly recommend giving "Stargate Timekeepers" a try
When I first stepped through the Stargate into the world of "Stargate Timekeepers," I wasn't sure what to expect. As a fan of the iconic SG1 series, I was eager yet cautious. However, this stealth tactics game, released on January 23, 2024, by Slitherine Software and CreativeForge Games, managed to pleasantly surprise me with its engaging gameplay and faithful representation of the Stargate universe.
A Fresh Yet Familiar Universe
"Stargate Timekeepers" is set in the same universe as SG1 and Atlantis, picking up during SG1's climactic battle for Antarctica in the show's seventh season. The game introduces a new team of characters, balancing a slightly campy tone reminiscent of the earlier seasons with a contemporary gaming experience. The Unity engine brings these alien worlds to life on the Microsoft Windows platform, showcasing the diverse environments and strategic gameplay that make this title stand out.
The Team Behind
Developed by Slitherine Software and CreativeForge Games, "Stargate Timekeepers" brings a new narrative to the beloved franchise. The game's developers have successfully combined strategy and adventure elements, creating an experience that's both familiar to fans and welcoming to newcomers.
Gameplay and Strategy
The game's mechanics remind me of the intricate level design and tactical gameplay found in the now-defunct Studio Mimimi's "Shadow Tactics." Players navigate through carefully crafted levels, employing the unique abilities of each character to outsmart enemies. Whether you prefer a stealthy approach or a more confrontational strategy, "Stargate Timekeepers" offers a variety of play styles to suit different preferences.
Characters and Their Dynamics
The team in "Stargate Timekeepers" is composed of diverse characters, each with their own quirks and abilities. From the Carter-esque Colonel Eva McCain to the cool sniper Max Bolton, and the unique Jaffa character Atah, each member brings something special to the table. Their interactions, while not groundbreaking in narrative depth, add an enjoyable element to the game, enhancing the overall experience.
Technical Aspects and User Experience
The game's visuals are not cutting-edge but are more than sufficient to create immersive and varied environments. The user interface is clean and intuitive, making it easy for players to navigate through the game. Subtitles and mission briefings are clear and contribute to an overall polished experience.
A Note on Accessibility and Enjoyment
"Stargate Timekeepers" excels in making the game accessible and enjoyable for both fans and newcomers. The game doesn't penalize players for choosing different play styles, although I found that stealth and non-lethal approaches often provide a more satisfying and challenging experience.
Is It Worth Your Time?
After playing through the initial seven missions of what is planned to be a 14-episode season, I can confidently say that "Stargate Timekeepers" is a worthy addition to the Stargate franchise. It successfully captures the essence of the SG1 series while offering a fresh and engaging tactical gameplay experience. The game has some minor issues with enemy AI and could benefit from additional keyboard shortcuts, but these do not significantly detract from the overall experience.
Final Thoughts on Stargate: Timekeepers
As a long-time fan of the Stargate series and tactical strategy games, "Stargate Timekeepers" has been a delightful surprise. It combines the best of both worlds, offering a nostalgic yet fresh adventure. If you're a fan of the franchise or enjoy tactical strategy games, I highly recommend giving "Stargate Timekeepers" a try.
