In Tempus Irae you play the role of a heavily armed Vitruvian Man helping Leonardo da Vinci track down his missing tax receipts while 3 eyed Italians attempt to swat you with brooms. (Description generated by AI).
Seriously though, the original Tempus Irae is one of the seminal works in the world of Marathon scenarios, Nardo threw down the gauntlet in a big way, back when we were all just learning how. This update is a beautiful and faithful modernisation of that brilliant work. It's absolutely worth experiencing once more, or for the first time.
Tempus Irae Redux is the classic Marathon Infinity scenario, remastered. This final release features enhanced HD graphics, with every single texture having been completely rebuilt from scratch. In addition, several new textures have been created (including animated textures), and the four original landscapes have now been expanded to thirteen. Each level has been meticulously refined and enhanced (and in some cases expanded), while introducing stunning effects like rain, lightning, fog, volcanic cinders, and snow. The game has also been upgraded with an all new soundtrack, and improved co-op play. If that wasn’t enough, new levels have been added as we’ve bridged Tempus Irae with the follow up project The Lost levels for a combined total of 49 solo levels, and 79 net maps.
This is the definitive and complete collection, every add-on united, at last.
We sincerely hope you’ll find this fresh take on Tempus Irae, led by the original scenario designers, to be worthy of a new playthrough as you discover its new secrets and challenges. It’s been over 25 years since the original release of the scenario, and this new version is absolutely breathtaking. From all of us at Nardo, have fun, and enjoy!
