''Super Time Force'' is an action game created by Toronto-based developer Capybara Games. (The brains behind ''[[VideoGame/SuperbrothersSwordAndSworceryEP Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery EP]]'' and ''Below'') The gameplay is reminiscent of side-strolling run-and-gun games like ''Contra'', but with the added ability of time travel. When you die or choose to "time out", you can rewind time back to any previous moment, at which point you can select another character and play from there, while your previous copies still perform their actions. This leads to situations where you rewind multiple times to add additional firepower or obtain normally out-of-reach items (Cloxs, Shards, and Glorbs) among other things.


The story begins in Philadelphia, during the year 1987. A man named Doctor Repeatski invents time travel, and ''immediately'' the world is overrun by robots. However, Repeatski's future self, now known as ''Commander'' Repeatski, comes back with the Super Time Force to save the day, and the days of other time periods. While at the beginning the player starts with three members of the force, French machine-gunner Jean Rambois, Scottish sniper Aimy [=McKillin=], and shield-wielder Shieldy Blockerson throughout the training tutorial. New characters can be found and be unlocked in different time periods as well as with the amount of Shards and Glorbs that are collected in each level.

* BookEnds: The first boss is also the final boss. [[spoiler:Well, the first part of the final level at any rate]].
* CatchPhrase: Zackasaurus commonly says "Kookabunga!", and spray paints it on dinosaur eggs when first encountered.

* {{Running Gag}}: Each and every beginning level has random characters get crushed by the time beacon.

* SequelHook: [[spoiler:After the credits when you beat the game in Super Hardcore Mode, An extra ending [[Main/EvilAllAlong reveals the Looker and his sister talk into the idea of destroying the Super Time Force]].]]
--->[[spoiler:'''Looker:''' That was a very enjoyable look, Sister]].
--->[[spoiler:'''Sister:''' Yes brother, I agree. The Super Time Force are really good looking]].
--->[[spoiler:'''Looker:''' We should probably destroy them though, don’t you think]]?
--->[[spoiler:'''Sister:''' Oh most assuredly. The Super Time Force must die for the good of all dimensional life]].
--->[[spoiler:'''Looker:''' Ok, cool. So we’re on the same page]].
--->[[spoiler:'''Sister:''' Ya, Totally]].

* The time of your arrival in the Medieval Period is [[Music/MCHammer "Hammer Time"]].

* {{The Squad}}: The Super Time Force themselves.

* spoiler:{{The Reveal}}:[[spoiler:In the end of the game's normal difficulty mode, Dr. Infinity is really Repeatski the whole time trying to stop his future self from changing history.]]

** Only in the Steam edition, ''Super Time Force Ultra'', includes Zoey from ''VideoGame/Left4Dead'' and the Pyro and Saxton Hale from ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' as playable characters.
** The GOG.com distribution of the game does not figure those guest characters.

* [[spoiler:{{The Reveal}}]]:[[spoiler:In the end of the game's normal difficulty mode, Dr. Infinity is really Repeatski the whole time trying to stop his future self from changing history.]]

* TooDumbToLive: Repeatski. He demands that you get 7-year-old Cleo from the future after he gets bored of dealing with her as an infant, he ignores the fact that reviving the dinosaurs was a bad idea because he thinks they'll work out all the kinks, steals the HolyGrail to save a bankrupt medieval themed restaurant, and he thinks some "sooper chime forbs or something" are what ruined 199X because the guy he was talking too mumbled.

You can watch the game's animated trailers/shorts [[https://vimeo.com/48563418 here]] and [[https://vimeo.com/95307726 here]]. This game is [[SimilarlyNamedWorks not to be confused with nor actually a videogame adaption of]] Series/PowerRangersTimeForce

* SequelHook: [[spoiler: After the credits when you beat the game in Super Hardcore Mode, An extra ending [[Main/EvilAllAlong reveals the Looker and his sister talk into the idea of destroying the Super Time Force]].]]

** This is, however, ''very'' confusing when you paid more attention to normal mode’s ending, Which had [[spoiler: Repeatski’s commander self explaining to his alternate versions (his past self as a scientist and as Dr. Infinity) to "take old space-time for another spin around the block." As all three did what he said, ''the entire earth exploded (again!)'', closing in to the game’s logo. In the Looker scene, It shows Repeatski himself and the rest of the Super Time Force alive and well on a parade float. This leaves you wondering if he and the rest would have died after destroying earth, or it could be just the Looker's view in order to jump into the event where they're at after saving 198X.]]

* RuleOfCool: Repeatski's motivation for going to 1,000,000 BC is to save the dinosaurs from extinction, [[EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs because dinosaurs are awesome]].

* Main/EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs

* BalefulPolymorph: Merlin's charge attack turns enemies into WoodlandCreatures.
