✦ AI summary

Zeit² is a side-scrolling shoot 'em up that combines traditional arcade shooting with an inventive time-manipulation mechanic where players can rewind actions to create overlapping attacks from their past performance. Players praise the creative time-travel system and its puzzle-like strategic depth as a refreshing take on the genre, though some find the enemy variety and stage visuals repetitive, and a few report technical issues. The game appeals to those seeking unconventional mechanics and quick play sessions, with players suggesting it's worth picking up when it drops on sale.

Just a plain shoot all-o-them spaceship thingies emitting halo thingie with bullets thingie and literally nothing outta box to add into it. Like K, if our dereanged spaceship gets its energy drained everytime you miss a shot and a uncommon time travel feature that creates a black blop like thing that shoots all you shot before you pressed time travel button on keyboard. Other than that, its just , bad guys coming from right side of the screen, you dealing with them and going crazy, sprinkling them bullets Aall over the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ screen. Sorry but princess is in another castle ! K game but not expecting somethin like this from ubisoft . Yup, its by the same company, that brought us farcry and tom clancy and assassins creed.

This is a great little puzzle shmup, with lots of smart nuances and unusual mechanisms that belie the soothing, understated graphics. Playing in the past and the future on top of the present is pleasingly mind-bending. A must-have for people looking for unusual games and outside the box play. Usually drops significantly during sales. Also, the store page is years out of date and the game has no DRM besides Steam.

Zeit² takes the familiar side-scrolling shoot ’em up formula and reshapes it around an inventive time-manipulation system. Developed by Brightside Games and published by Ubisoft, the game combines traditional arcade shooting with mechanics that encourage planning, experimentation, and careful resource management. Rather than relying entirely on quick reflexes and memorizing enemy patterns, it asks players to consider how actions performed in the past can influence what happens next. The defining feature is the ability to manipulate time while fighting. Players can rewind events, effectively returning to an earlier moment while creating a shadow of their previous actions. This allows the player to cooperate with their own past performance, producing overlapping attacks and opening tactical possibilities that would be impossible in a conventional shooter. Rewinding is therefore much more than a convenient way of correcting mistakes. Learning how to use previous actions offensively becomes an important part of mastering the game. Time can also be accelerated, creating another layer of risk and reward. Moving quickly through manageable situations can improve efficiency and contribute…

Positive: * Fun for some quick rounds. * Interesting time travel mechanic. * Good for beginners. * Many game modes. Negative: * Not that much variety in enemies and stage graphics. * Technical issues: Had to turn g-sync off for this game specifically in nvidia control panel, otherwise the monitor loses signal when starting the game. Never seen this before with any game or application. I like it and I am glad I bought it.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
