Hybrid Action-Strategy gameplay: Plan a strategy and execute it all in real time, across distinct missions! Puzzle maps, boss fights, escort missions, survival, etc. -- each mission has distinct objectives and brings unique twists on the time travel mechanic!
Co-op mode: Play the full campaign with a friend online (2 players) using the free Friend's Pass!
Startling storyline: Engaging campaign with all the twists, turns, nooks, crannies and what-the-bleep-just-happened moments you would -- and should -- expect from a story based on Time Travel!
