Stargate: Timekeepers

First game that I requested a refund. Clunky mechanics, meh presentation, grating voice acting. Didn't even finish the first level before I gave up on it. Not even being a fan of the show is enough to save this game. Indeed.

I am a huge fan of Stargate and I really, really wanted to like this game but its one of the clunkiest most poorly designed games that i have ever played. I would not recommend this game for anyone but the most hardened masochists.

Short Discussion: I've had good fun playing Stargate Timekeepers and it's certainly gotten better the more i played. From the start i was 50/50 on how much i'd enjoy it as I've never played stealth/tactic style games before. It holds a lot of nostalgic moments from the series, but all i can say is do a bit of research before purchasing the game, this style of game isn't for everyone, it's slower paced and requires a lot of patience. Long Discussion: Pros: -I loved seeing literally anything from the show, like the F-302, Al'kesh, Tel'tak and even the mimetic device haha. You can also use a ZAT gun (which i recommend playing on story mode so you can use it accurately to the show with no Ammo cap). -It ties in with the end of Season 7. -The story is pretty good, kinda plays homage to the episode Window of Opportunity -The gameplay is fun, it was difficult for me at first but after practice its fine. -The variety of unique abilities where good fun. -The main menu being in the gate room looks really cool Cons: -The voice work feels off in many ways, it never feels like they're in the situation. -No XP gaining or upgrades, i feel this game could've benefited highly with this. -In some areas the controls seem a bit clunky. -There are still quite a few bugs in missions and achievements not unlocking (This can still be fixed), but I've had to reload saves or replay a mission because it wouldn't go further. -I would've loved to of heard more music sounding similar to the show Stargate is my all time favourite franchise and I've always said that Stargate video games has major potential across all genres as the series has incredibly rich lore. This still isn't the exact Stargate game I've always wanted to play personally, I think there is high potential for an open world FPS style game, this doesn't reach the epic scale that the shows does BUT i wouldn't criticise this game for that, this is a stealth/tactics commando style game and for what it is, i think it's entertaining and i would still recommend for any Stargate fan or fan of the game genre.

It's a decent game - not the best in the genre, but definitely enjoyable. The story is solid, the team members' abilities are well thought out, and the level design is great. On the downside, some animations are a bit stiff, there are occasional bugs (I had to restart one mission and lost about an hour of progress), and a few achievements are broken (had to use SAM to unlock them). If you like the Stargate universe and stealth strategies (like I do) go for it - just not at full price.

I'm really a big fan of Stargate but sadly this game is not fun. It's kind of clunky and I find most defeats are from accidental clicks or fumbling around trying to tie up a knocked out enemy. I really wanted the first Stargate game in a long time to be fun but sadly it's not. I can hope there will be a better one in the future.

Imaginez ... Vous avez entre vos mains, la licence Stargate. Vous êtes capable de raconter des histoires formidables, vous avec des idées plein la tête, des compétences et du talent à revendre. Vous n'avez pas tant de nouveau travail à produire, le canon est bien établi, les règles et les lois scénaristiques uniques sont à la portée de n'importe qui, vous avez un univers coloré, varié, dense et riche sous les yeux. Des mécaniques de jeu sont faciles à trouver, le level-design n'est pas si dur à développer et vous savez qu'une solide fanbase sera au rendez-vous pour capitaliser sur le contenu. Un film, trois séries télévisés, deux direct-to-dvd, des livres audios, des romans de poche ou graphiques, des jeux de cartes, de plateau, ou vidéos (hélas avortés), ... L'échec d'une adaptation est impossible. Et vous faites ça. "Dans ma civilisation, je me verrai le droit de vous démembrer, [...]"

I'm a Stargate fan, and grew up playing Commando's, Cannon Fodder, and other great simple, yet challenging games like this. It's just fun to be immersed in the story and environment. Though - I'm glad they didn't try to make Stargate into a first person shooter, I do think there's probably an opportunity for a No Man's Sky / Star Trek Online version, where you explore various planets via the Stargate -- but, I'll take this throw back to Commando's and enjoy the updated graphics and features.

Das Spiel ist mist. Anders kann man es leider einfach nicht sagen. Die ganze Mechanik ist nicht wirklich optimal. Zum Bsp. kann man in anderen Spielen, des gleichen Genres viel besser den Ablauf planen. Auch die ganze Geschichte hätte noch ein wenig ausgefeilter sein können. Was echt Cool gewesen wäre, wenn man eine Basis gehabt hätte, die man immer weiter ausbauen müßte um zu verschiedenen Planeten zu gelangen und dann richtig wie bei SG1 diese Planeten erforschen müßte bzw. sich dort verschiedenen Herausforderungen hätte stellen müßen. Oder dann auch auf andere Spezies, wie den Asgard oder Fraktionen wie die Gimini treffen würde. Oder verschiedene Teams managen könnte mit unterschiedlichsten Ausrichtungen und Perks zb. in Sachen Diplomatie, Angriff und Verteidigung usw. Das Teammitglieder leveln können um neue Fertigkeiten freizuschalten und auch sterben können.Dadurch würde man sich dann auch den Mitgliedern verbunden fühlen, wie zb. in XCom, Jagged Alliance und anderen Spielen dieses Genres. So kommt überhaupt kein Fun auf und man fühlt sich überhaupt nicht verbunden mit dem Spiel. Jeder der das Game spielen möchte empfehle ich es im Sale zu kaufen, für 5-10€. Obwohl Slitherine eigentlich immer gute Spiele macht, bei den die Grafik zwar fast immer total grottenschlecht aussieht, haben Die das Spiel hier total verkackt. Schade. LG
