The sword combat in Quantic River relies on reflexes and parries to dismember your opponents in a swift manner. You play as a unique cyborg capable of combat prowess, but, in return, composed of very fragile experimental technology. There will be very little room for error. The combat is precise and fast, and the destruction system provides a completely chaotic setting!

You'll face different types of enemies. The weakest won't be able to block your sword strikes, allowing you to literally exterminate them one after the other without worrying about their defense.
Others can block all your regular attacks and will force you to use parries to launch deadly counter-attacks.

The toughest enemies are loaded with augmentations and will attack you with firearms and melee weapons. You'll need to use your cybernetic equipment to unleash swift and devastating Strikes to quickly end the threat as they will block all your regular attacks and be immune to parries.

Regarding weapons, it's straightforward, you'll have only one: your katana. It will be customizable to improve your combat efficiency. Depending on your augmentations, it will be possible to block, deflect, or redirect bullets towards your opponents.


Money is the central element of the progression system, "United Credits". You'll have different ways to increase your bank balance, which will enable you to buy cybernetic equipment from different markets and suppliers.

Legal markets for civilian and military-grade augmentations.
Black markets for experimental-grade augmentations.

The protagonist, who calls himself "X", will also go through memory phases that unlock combat techniques he had definitely forgotten, in addition to getting closer to his identity.
It's these augmentations and the sword combat techniques that will make him more and more effective on the battlefield.

Only one difficulty.
The goal is really to allow the players to take their time if they want to, to let themselves be carried away by the dark and captivating universe we've created. And, in parallel, the players must be able to get into action very quickly and focus on the gameplay if dialogues or exploration don't interest them. Both aspects are crucial, which is why we've implemented multiple passages in the action levels.

If you're a Runner, you just have to rush straight ahead, cross the map in record time, but you'll need a good understanding of the gameplay mechanics to achieve it.
If you're a player who prefers standard difficulty, taking more time to explore and reducing the difficulty, then you'll have the option to do so.

You should take your time during the initial playthrough of Quantic River. After completing the game once, we've designed replayability for runners. They'll encounter gameplay variations, new equipment, and the chance for a reward by finishing the game within a set time.


This equipment impacts your ability to fight and reduces your game time to finish the action levels as quickly as possible. The more you progress, the more augmentations you'll be able to use. Activating them requires a considerable number of resources, so you won't be able to use them multiple times.

Think of them as jokers that you burn once consumed. What will make the difference is the number of augmentations you have available, and you'll need to think before using them!

More precisely, the elements in question will be hardware and software that will allow, for example:
-Exceeding the sound barrier in a short instant.
-Reducing walls to dust.
-Breaking through doors.
-Disabling certain abilities of your enemies.
-Hacking doors, turrets, or security systems.
-Deflecting or returning bullets.
-Eradicating your enemies in one blow.

And many others that I can't reveal yet :).

Time Survivors isn't just about massive epic battles through history; it's about smart strategy, too. With only 8 days left until launch, let’s unveil a new nifty feature: the Chrono Forge.


In the heat of your adventures, Gold is more than just shiny – it's crucial. That's where the Chrono Forge comes in. It's your go-to for turning Gold into valuable resources like Damascus Steel, Guardian Hearts, and Time Crystals. No magic tricks, just good old resource management.

It’s like a time-traveling bank, but actually useful.


Strategic resource exchange can be a game-changer, especially when you're gearing up for the next big encounter. So, plan wisely, and make the most of what you've got.

See you tomorrow for more sneak peeks!

Hello everyone,
as you can read above we just implemented a new LWR for Florida fish species that is as true to real life as possible. We received a lot of information regarding fish not having proper weight or length, or their look (scale) not being properly related to other weights.

So we took a little investigation into the system, tested a few different things, how the scale works, and created a few kaiju-sized monsters...



In the end, we discovered that some additional factors influenced the fish scale and weight. After a short discussion, we decided to make huge modifications to this system, and right now each fish in Florida has an individual correlation to length and weight. That means each fish from Florida right now has a different mass gain in kilograms [lb] per centimeter [ft]. Moving further, we all know that if in real life you catch 10 fish and hypothetically each of them is 60 cm in length, each one of them would have a different weight.

So, we also implemented this in LWR 3.0. That means every fish in specific weight can vary in weight in range from 0.9 to 1.05. To show that more in numbers, let's give you an example.

Blacksea Bass | Length 30 cm | Randomizer: Off

The LWR 3.0 will tell us that the weight for 30cm Blacksea Bass should be 0.52 kg.

And here comes the randomizer. Who likes to catch 30cm fish, with 0.52kg weight whole the time? Randomizer allows to generation of fish that are wary in weight.

Blacksea Bass | Length 30 cm | Randomizer: ON

Fish weight range: 0,468 - 0.546 kg

The bigger the fish, the wider "range" will be. But you get the point I hope!

Is this available for all fish? If NO. why?
This is now only available for fish listed in the changelog. It's due to a lot of data that we need to prepare and count. For Florida, we simply created the LWR charts but the game didn't calculate it properly which caused so many issues with Tiger Shark. But - don't worry.

We will implement this system to all 136 fish species in the Ultimate Fishing Simulator.

Once again, we would like to thank you for your feedback, support, and time to tell us what is in your opinion not working properly. Sometimes fixes are easy and sometimes we need to dig deep and do proper research but in the end - we hope you are happy with the final results.

Ah, also - in terms of "scale". While researching it we found that there are a few other things in the game "out of scale" that we will fix one by one in the future. We will let you know what & when will be changed shortly! :)

Regards,
UFS1 Team
