Super Time Force relies heavily on the chaos of its time-and-death mechanic to keep the players moving. The game doesn�t always strike the sweet spot and stand out, but it did always leave me smiling as I would watch the replay of a level and all my characters swarming through, firing waves of bullets. For those who love are looking for an action-arcade shooter with a neat hook, Super Time Force offers a fair share of fun.
