Quantum League
Platforms: Mac, Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One
Genres: Action, Shooting, Simulation, Sports and Strategy
Released: Coming soon. Added to this library 3 months ago.
Overview
Quantum League is a shooting game where you go back in time when you die, to play through the same loop of the battle. You have three lives and so play through the same short gun-fight three times. But each time you have more knowledge about what the other players (and your previous selves) will do. To win the game you need to have one of your clones in the centre zone when time runs out. If you die you can get a pack that will extend your time like a med pack would in other games.
It sounds complicated, but the bottom line is that this is a shooting game that puts the focus firmly on strategy, planning and intelligent thinking rather than just quick reactions and head shots.
The game is well designed to take advantage of this time-looping play with carefully designed small arenas. It also encourages other time-bending strategies like shooting where you think a future player may be in subsequent rounds. It's all very meta, but actually a lot of fun too.
Tip
This game is good if you want to manipulate time to win or play PEGI 16 and 18 games but aren't old enough.
