Full descriptionIn Darkest of Days, players travel back and forth through the annals time to relive some mankind’s most dire hours, when human society was at its lowest points. By fighting through terrible events such as The Battle of Antietam, the bloodiest conflict of the Civil War, and the volcanic eruption in Pompeii in the year 79, the player attempts to save certain key individuals who were never meant to become involved in these truly monstrous events and thereby change human history for the better. Editorial reviewSource: Amazon In Darkest of Days, PC gamers get to experience some of the most varied single player first-person shooter gameplay ever released in one title. Things will never get stale as you travel to distant times and fight alongside people from that time period. For example, fighting in Antietam (the bloodiest day of the American Civil War) feels much different than fighting on the side of the Russians at Tannenberg (where the Russians withstood 140,000 casualties in WWI.)
