Lost Artifacts: Time Machine

If you like time management games and are looking for some more games of the genre and you have played out all the good games from the 12 Labours, Gnomes Garden, Rescue Team, Lost Artifacts series, then fine go ahead, it's a perfectly serviceable game, with some minor annoyances... 1. Yes, it's a mobile game, but please if you're going to port the game to PC at least code in the use of the ESC key for PC users, it's not hard. I know it's a small thing, but here in PC land we're used to hitting ESC to pause, bring up the menu, back out and exit the game, even to the very end I keep hitting it to no avail, it's just intuitive. 2. The mouse over tooltips in this game are a MASSIVE PITA. Mouse over a building, resource or an obstruction and it tells you what resources you need to upgrade a building or to remove an obstruction and what you will get in return if anything. The problem is the scroll popups containing the tips/info are about 3 times larger than they need be, which is rather obstructive to the surrounding area on the map. What's worse, and I mean much, much worse, is when you move the cursor away from the building or obstruction, the tool tip doesn't always immediately c…

Lost Artifacts - Time Machine is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as if it was a real PC game (it's not)... it's a cash grab from greedy mobile devs. This mobile app is a pointless "12 Labours of Hercules" screen tapper/clicker mobile app. There's no gameplay, just tapping on the screen. The mobile app is made to look like you're making interesting decisions as you're presented with a map of a town/village/pathway that has you clicking on various things to collect things which are then consumed when you click on an obstacle, which unlocks more things to click on. This is so lame and shallow, you could write a script to randomly click the screen and given enough time, it would beat the game. The shady developer behind this valueless shovelware has proven to be a persistent nuisance abusing Steam Direct... they've dumped over a hundred valueless mobile app tier asset flips onto Steam, many featuring plagiarised/stolen stock art and other unethical, shady behaviours. The developer, Creobit/8Floor, has copy + pasted this particular game, with minor reskins, an insane THIRTY TWO TIMES onto Steam with minor reskins... why cash in on one asset if you can cash in on multiple…

Lost Artifacts: Time Machine is a basic time management game similar to 12 Labors of Hercules. The graphics are not that great, they okay. Music/sounds are just okay, nothing special. The levels are not well balanced and one in particular is impossible to get 3 stars. The newest game in the series had the achievements taken down instead of fixing them. I won't be purchasing the rest of the series if the devs can't fix their game. Not recommended

Nice time-management game.

Lost Artifacts: Time Machine is a casual strategy and resource management title developed by GameOn Production and published by 8Floor that takes a familiar formula and places it inside a science fiction adventure built around repairing fractured history. Designed as a time-management experience first and foremost, the game emphasizes efficiency, planning, and smart decision-making over fast reflexes or deep simulation systems. Its combination of accessible mechanics and light storytelling makes it approachable for newcomers while still offering enough strategic depth to keep genre fans engaged. The premise centers on disruptions across time itself. A dangerous force has tampered with history, leaving various locations damaged and unstable. A scientific team is assembled to investigate the anomalies and restore order before the timeline suffers irreversible consequences. The story serves primarily as a framework for progression rather than a heavily narrative-driven experience, but the time travel setting gives the game more personality than a standard resource management title. Traveling between altered environments and rebuilding damaged areas creates a sense of purpose that dri…
