Timelines: Assault on America

2013
Real Time Strategy (RTS)Strategy

Fantasy · Historical · Military

Timelines: Assault on America puts a clever spin on the RTS formula by tasking players with rewriting history. Instead of resource gathering, you deploy units by spending "influence points" to alter key events in a branching narrative. This system creates a unique ebb and flow, as you try to control the timeline while your opponent does the same. Replaying scenarios to explore different historical outcomes is a core part of its appeal, and the well-researched setting adds another layer of intrigue.
