새로운 Stargate가 있습니다: 1년대는 영원하기 때문에 Steam의 SG-90 Tactics 게임

플라톤에 의해 재발행

우리는 2021년에 이렇게 말했습니다. the ’90s are back, baby, because someone was making an RTS based on Stargate SG-1. Today they’re 정말 뒤로, 그 게임은 공식적으로 다음과 같이 알려져 있기 때문입니다. 스타게이트: 타임키퍼, is now live—and for those of you who aren’t sure whether real-time Stargate strategy is going to be your bag, a demo is available too.

Stargate: Timekeepers is in fact a “real-time tactics game,” a minor but meaningful distinction. Instead of harvesting resources, building bases, churning out armies, and grinding your enemies to dust, you’ll lead a new team of SG-1 specialists behind enemy lines, where you’ll “use your characters’ unique skills, craft the perfect plan, and defeat the Goa’uld threat.”

Somewhat unusually, Stargate: Timekeepers is launching in two parts: Season 1 part 1 is live now, while part 2 is slated to follow later this year. It will feature a total of 14 “narrative-rich missions” picking up the story from the end of season 7 of the television show, beginning with the battle of Antarctica and then moving into fights against the Goa’uld oppressors alongside the Jaffa Resistance, a strike against Moloc, and eventually an alliance with the Unas. Yeah, they’re covering a lot of bases here.

Stealth features prominently in the game, and that’s led to a mixed reaction on Steam. Reviewers who dig stealth-based gameplay seem to like it, but some who were hoping for a more straight-up fight are disappointed. “Don’t come into this expecting it to be a tactical game or a strategy game like you’d expect,” one negative reviewer wrote. “Yes it does have some inkling of strategy and tactics. But the whole point of this game is stealth. You are severely punished for trying to fight your way through as you are always at a massive disadvantage and are punished for even attempting to actually fight.”

I’d say that’s in tune with the SG-1 television show, which to be clear I was a big fan of back in the day: A small gang of free-wheeling soldiers and scientists half-assing their way across the galaxy, trying to avoid being squashed by overwhelming enemy forces.

(Let us not forget that it’s also the show that provided the breakthrough for God of War actor and 게임 어워드 인기 크리스토퍼 판사.)

Whether that’s enough to carry the game to any degree of success is another matter entirely. SG-1 ran for 10 seasons and spawned a couple of spinoffs that were quite good in their own right, which is no mean feat, but it’s not exactly the most in-demand license ever. But that might be one of the reasons we’ve got a new Stargate game to play in the first place: It’s accessible.

Developer Slitherine has gone a bit hog-wild with licenses like this in recent years: Alongside Stargate: Timekeepers, it’s also got the real-time tactics game 터미네이터: 다크 페이트 - 디파이언스 2월에 개봉했는데, 히트를 쳤죠. 스타쉽 트루퍼스: 테란 사령부, another RTS that came out in 2022. But it’s a strategy that can pay off: If there’s one Robocop: Rogue City 증명, it’s that there’s still space for mid-tier licensed games to find success amidst all the 스타 워즈 및 해리 포터 저 밖에.

Stargate: Timekeepers를 지금 이용할 수 있습니다. 증기, GOG및 에픽 게임 스토어. 그러나 데모는 현재 Steam에서만 가능합니다.
