DESCRIPTION
Publisher Phantom EFX escapes the confines of its traditional gambling and card titles to bring gamers Darkest of Days, an ambitious first-person shooter that sends players hurtling through time to reverse the course of history. A mysterious organization saves the protagonist just moments before he dies, but he must repay them by traveling back in time to alter the course of events during some of humanity's most infamous moments. This Quantum Leap-style mechanic sends gamers off to five different time periods, including the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius at Pompeii, the Battle of Antietam during the U.S. Civil War, and the WWI Battle of Tannenburg. Time travel is never clean, however, so players have to make several return visits to each time period, often fighting on the opposite side of the conflict in order correct unfortunate battlefield mistakes. Gamers can use a combination of futuristic and historical weapons, including automatic rifles, poison gas, and pulse cannons, and a varied mission structure means players may have to employ stealth, artillery assaults, or sniper attacks when attempting to save humanity and discover the true goals of the mysterious organization. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide

“This is a game that I have been looking for-for quite some time, and at the end I was quite disappointed.
The game gives you the idea that you are going to explore various parts of history, but that is not that case. You run through the game searching for a few guys that could help your mission, but this is only in the American Civil War, and World War I (and a bit of II as well.).
The game is fairly easy, even on hard, and once in a while you get blessed with an extreme guy from the future, making things even easier. Glitches in the game can also be fairly annoying, and overall the game just gets boring after a while, since you basically know what is going to happen, and where you keep on heading.
The thing that really got to me... the game gives you this idea that there is an enormous twist (which there is, but not the way you think). And when left with a choice, the game just ends showing the credits........... seriously, now you have no idea what happens after that, because the game has got a terrible ending.
Overall, I had fun for a while, but then I just wanted to finish the game. I am glad that I played it, because now I don't have to wonder anymore.”

“It pains me to give it such a low score but I have my reasons.
I had absolutely enjoyed the game and its time line hopping. But ultimately that was not enough to give me that deep satisfaction. In fact, it killed all that with one thing - the ending.
I had played through the game and it grew more and more interesting. Then just at the peak, when suddenly it was going to go in a different direction, and the twist was being revealed - BAM! the credits start to roll across the screen.
It was EXCRUTIATING TO WITNESS!!!!”
