Darkest of Days

Darkest of Days takes the player through time into historic battles in an effort to save key individuals from certain death. The battles range from Custer`s Last Stand at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876 to fighting in Pompeii as ash and fire rain down from an erupting Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD. Other locations include the battles of Antietam and Tannenberg, and a German World WAR II P.O.W. camp. There are different missions in every time period and the game takes about 4 hours to complete.The game features over twenty weapons, both from the original time period as well as those brought back from the future. In addition, there are artillery weapons from different time periods to assist in battle.Players are also required to save certain other individuals who are important to the Continuity of history. There are two types of characters who fall into this category: the first types are the key individuals that the player must rescue so that they can be placed back into their correct place in time who are represented with an orange aura. The second type is a random character marked with a blue aura and can be saved by wounding them in their limbs or using a weapon called chasers that knock them out. This way the characters are taken out of the battle without being killed.
