In many ways, the history of humanity is the history of our conflicts against one another over the millienia. In Darkest of Days players physically explore this history and endevor to maintain it as it was meant to unfold. As the game opens the player is snatched from grim date with death by a shadow organization. As unlikely as this would seem, this is only the beginning as you are placed in the even more unlikely position of guardian of key conflicts in human history. Shuttled back and forth in time, it is your task to ensure that specific events on both sides of these conflicts occur as they were meant to happen and that mistakes made along the way are fixed.

Gameplay
Action in Darkest of Days is mission directed. As the player is transported back and forth in time, directives are spelled out that can include anything from victory of one side over the other, to the survival of an individual important to history in an otherwise doomed company and even assasinations. These actions take place in a variety of conflicts within time periods including the Roman era, the American Civil and Indian Wars, WWI and WWII. Mission types include stealth, artillery assaults, and sniper attacks and players can expect in most situations to be called upon to impact events from both sides of the front lines. To make these impacts players will have over 20 weapons on hand, most conflict-specific, but also some futuristic. They will also be able to choose their own means of completing missions according to the resources at hand across wide open battlefields designed to support over 300 combatants, each with their own AI capacities.
