People love to go on and on about how good Titanfall 2’s campaign mode is, and they’d be right to do so, but really we all know there’s one specific level we have in mind when it comes to the sidelined shooter: the time travel one. I don’t care for shooters all that much, online or offline ones, yet I still gave a go because the time travel level really appealed to me mechanically. Dishonored 2’s similarly structured time travel section wooed me similarly, so I was very pleased to discover the newest trailer for Tenet of the Spark this week, an action-adventure game that is basically Titanfall 2 and Dishonored 2’s time travel levels made into an entire game.
Tenet of the Spark has a few things that sets itself differently from said two levels. In the first instance, it’s pretty much all melee combat. Punchin’, hammerin’, knife throwin’, that sort of thing. Where the time travel element is most notably different is that you can travel between three time periods: modern day, the Viking age, and the Aztec era. The thing that I’m finding most fun from the game’s trailer, as you can see above, is that the level design is more or less the same across all three time periods, with the set dressing being the big thing to change.
Enemies themselves stay in the same spots throughout the three periods too, with each setting looking to have its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, in the Viking setting, you can throw or push objects, and you’ve got a big ole hammer you can smack things with, whereas in the Aztec period you’ve got a knife you can chuck at baddies for some long-distance options.
It’s neat! And stylish as all hell too, I love the effect of the environment changing between time periods, everything shifts and pops a little bit, it’s not just swapping you from one scene to the next. The game has been in the works for a little while now, but doesn’t have a release date just yet. If it takes your fancy, you can wishlist it here.
