A real-time tactics game where you lead a team of specialists through a story-driven campaign set in the SG-1 universe…

Stargate: Timekeepers is OUT NOW on GOG!


Prepare to sneak a newly formed team behind enemy lines, use your characters’ unique skills, craft the perfect plan and defeat the Goa’uld threat.



Stargate: Timekeepers departs from the end of season 7 of the Stargate SG-1 main plot to create an original story, unfolding over 14 narrative-rich missions. The adventure kicks off amidst the Battle of Antarctica, where Commander Eva McCain and her team provide crucial support to SG-1 against Anubis's formidable fleet.

Following this intense battle, Eva and her specialized team receive a new mission within the Stargate universe. Their objective: aid the Jaffa Resistance, thwart brutal rituals, launch strikes against Moloc's army, and forge alliances with the Unas.



As the leader of this extraordinary team, you'll command specialists operating covertly behind enemy lines. Leverage each character's distinct skills to devise meticulously synchronized plans against Kull Warriors, Jaffa Generals, Moloc's Officers, and a host of novel adversaries.

Eva McCain, a seasoned soldier and natural leader, excels with automatic rifles and strategic insight. The exceptionally agile and expert sniper Max Bolton utilizes a ghillie suit to take down enemies from long distances. Sam Watson, a trained spy and technical officer, specializes in alien gadgetry, while Derreck Harper's drones tackle challenging tasks such as healing allies and deactivating hostile electronic devices.

The Tau'ri core team also expands with newfound allies: A'ta, a Jaffa rebel and nimble thief armed with a Ma'tok staff for short-range combat, and Xugga, a powerful yet benevolent Unas veteran accompanied by a small companion.



Each individual has a set of unique abilities: play smart and combine them to silently eliminate your enemies in quick succession. Tactical Mode allows you to synchronize your characters’ actions perfectly.

All of that strategy fun awaits you in Stargate: Timekeepers, grab it now!

teceem: Telltale did this with a few of their games: Sam & Max S1, Tales of Monkey Island, maybe others?
I think Telltale originally sold episodes of their episodic games individually, through, right? That's not the case here.

MarkoH01: @mrkgnao: Thank you, at least I learned something new today.
There's a Bloodhound Gang song that features the subjunctive and it's mentioned in an episode of Hut 33 (Yellow) as a start of a fight.

I REALLY MISS THE STARGATE FRANCHISE...

idbeholdME: Now for the main question. Do they pronounce Goa'uld properly in the game or did they go full "goold" mode?
I mean, various actors in the SG-1 and Atlantis series pronounced the word the latter way at least sometimes. That's realistic -- English words and names (and those from many, if not most, other European languages) do not normally have more than two distinct vowel sounds in a row, and a lot of speakers apparently can't get their minds around foreign (or invented) words and names that do. As long as at least couple major characters pronounce it "correctly" at least a majority of the time, it's fine.

I always kinda thought it lent more verisimilitude to the show that people would pronounce it differently. I mean, just look at "aunt" in the real world.

Noishkel: Never understood why someone wanted to make a game for a bad show that ended about a decade ago.
You deem one of the longest running sci fi shows ever "bad"?
I guess there's no accounting for taste. I love Stargate.

idbeholdME: Universe though.... just don't.
It actually got good in Season 2, but then they ended it on a cliffhanger...

BreOl72: If I was interested in the game, I would wait 'til April with a purchase.

I feel so tired: Or until a discounted price for the " complete edition " that includes both the first and the second season ( maybe in Q2 of 2025 )
The upcoming Season 1, Part 2 (which is what I assume you meant by "the second season") is part of the purchase of the currently available product, per the note on the store page. I wouldn't be surprised if they haven't even begun seriously working on Season 2 yet.

Noishkel: Ehh, never played the BSG game, but at least that series was decent..

Breja: I actually meant the series, which I consider probably the worst sci-fi tv series I've ever seen ("probably" because Star Trek Discovery also exists).

I was never a fan of Stargate, didn't even watch much of SG-1, but compared to BSG it's brilliant. At least it didn't take itself as po-faced seriously as BSG took its own complete idiocy. I actually watched more Stargate Atlantis than I did SG-1, in hope that it's a fresh start, new show, and might turn out ok, but in the end it was a waste of time on a crappy Voyager rip-off.

00063: Wouldn't call a series that run for 10 seasons bad, and that was just SG-1. Then there was Stargate: Atlantis that lasted another 5. Bad shows usually don't get more the 2 seasons, or are discontinued after a few episodes.

Breja: I don't know what reality you live in where how long a show lasts and how good it is are in any way related, but it must be a nice place. I assume you have like 7 seasons of Firefly over there and Smallville was cancelled halfway through the first episode.
I assume you're talking about the uhhh "angels" plot of the Battlestar Galactica show? It's more clear when you realize it's a Mormon show and the plot is a retelling of the book of Mormon or whatever they call their new book of the Bible. It's not really a "science fiction" show. lol :D

Noishkel: [...] I'm a gluten for punishment [...]
Congratulations! It's not often that I actually groan and wince at a "wrong word" goof. XD
(For future reference, it's "glutton for punishment". Gluten is the protein in wheat (and some other grains) that causes some people digestive or health problems. They are not homophones.)

I don't even mean the overarching plot, I never finished the damn thing (though I know there was never any plan before hand on who is a Cylon, which on it's own is enough to dicredit the whole thing), just on episode-by-episode basis the show was ungodly stupid. It's been too long since I've seen it to discuss details, but I remember some episodes where nothing added up, and thinking that basically everyone acts like a total moron. Like how no one could tell something might be off with the Doctor guy, who was basically talking to himself and humping a chair in every scene. It didn't help that half the cast could barely act wet in a thunderstorm (yes, that means Katee Sackhoff). I gave up before the end of season 2, hating just about everyone and every plot-thread.

Context addendum: Battlestar Galatica the 70s series, or the Nu-Battlestar?

The new one. I should think that the "po-faced seriousness" would make it obvious enough I'm not talking about campy 70s one with a robot dog :D (which I'm just sort of indifferent towards).

Speaking of and to derail the thread even more:

Nice....now to follow up:

Wow, this has been on my wish list for 2 years. Always wanted a Stargate SG1 game, so here's hoping.
