Mystique: Ages in Time is a fantasy themed boomer shooter, developed on the classic Build Engine, and hugely inspired by games like Heretic, Hexen 1 & 2, Duke Nukem 3D and Quake.
It features 30+ levels, pixelated graphics in the style of the 90's,
and an original soundtrack. It was originally released in January 1998
by a large team of independent developers, for free. Some of them went
on to successful careers in the gaming industry, and later went to work
for companies such as at 3D Realms and Ritual Entertainment, where they worked on cult games like Prey, Sin, Heavy Metal, and others.
For almost a year, I've been doing a remaster of Mystique: Ages in Time.
I played this game as a kid, and because I have a lot of affection for
it, I decided to update it and make it into a much better experience.
Original version was probably released unfinished, and nowadays it's
barely playable, and in some cases, cannod be finished without cheats. I
fixed hundreds of bugs, polished the graphics, reworked the game
balance, updated all 30 levels, added new gameplay mechanics and new
enemy types, converted the game to widescreen, reshuffled the music
tracks and even remixed some of them... The list goes on.
With this remaster, I hope to introduce this extremely obscure game
from the 90's to modern audience. In my opinion, a ton of effort was put
into it, especially for being largely developed in 1997.
This game features some amazing atmosphere and tons of creative ideas,
so don't miss it if you're into retro first person shooters!
