Temporal War is a tactical strategy game that challenges you to think across time. Command an elite force capable of jumping between eras to thwart a global threat. Deploy units in the past to secure resources that will appear in the future, or stop an enemy invasion before it even begins. With its deep 'Butterfly Effect' mechanics, your choices in the 19th century will directly impact the battlefield of the 21st. Can you master the timeline and win the war for the future?

88/100

Temporal War is a mind-bending strategy game that turns the concept of 'time' into a physical battlefield. It’s not just a combat game; it’s a chronological puzzle. You don't just fight enemies in the present; you have to deploy units to the past to ensure your present-day base even exists. This 'butterfly effect' mechanic is handled brilliantly, with changes in the early rounds physically altering the map in the later rounds.

The visual style is fantastic, mixing futuristic tech with ancient ruins to represent the various eras you're fighting in. The difficulty curve is steep, as you have to keep track of three or four different timelines simultaneously, but the payoff of a perfectly executed 'Grandfather Paradox' strategy is unmatched. It’s an ambitious, intelligent, and highly original strategy game that will appeal to fans of 'Into the Breach' or anyone who loves a good time-travel story.

Half decent game

Card building game where the game is to wipe your opponents hearts before you lose yours. It’s missing some polish such as figuring out which units are classified as what. Some cards deal additional damage to navy units yet there is no way in-game to see what type enemies are. The only hint given is the art itself. Ideally clicking on the enemy card should say outright what type of unit it is, be it navy or air etc. Speaking of art it’s ok for what it is, it does need some minor touches here and there. There is a sort of gallery to view all cards including enemy ones which is nice but it doesn’t allow you to full screen the art which is a shame, hopefully later on a full card view will be added. Given enough time to add some polish to the game I think it would certainly be worth the 4 dollar price tag.

Good casual card game.

AI art is good enough. I wish I could restart a game from scratch at any time rather than forced to play to a complete win or loss.

Not worth the money
