Darkest of Days, the game that allows players to relive history's greatest battles with weapons from the future, is getting a juicy demo for PC tomorrow. Unlike the Batman: Arkham Asylum demo which was short and sweet, this one will weigh in at an hour of gameplay.
The PC demo gives access to two of the game's battles, the Battle of Little Big Horn and the Battle of Antietam. Have you ever daydreamed about going back in time with a machine gun? Well, now you don't have to.
Oh, and no word on an Xbox 360 demo, at least not yet. I wouldn't be too shocked if one eventually comes out, though, so let's all play the waiting game.
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

The concept sounds amazing!
This sounds like it should just be a mod for an already released game.
@Sam
What makes this premise stupid exactly? I'm curious as I think it sounds entertaining.
Hmm, I have to say this video made me a little more intrigued to play this game.
@Arkhon - My understanding is that as a sort of rogue agent you start with period weapons. You can acquire futuristic weapons by slaying teams of "time agents" with the period weapons that you have. It didn't look over easy.
I just don't think it's a cool idea to base an entire game off of. It just sounds like a mod. "Oh check me out, I have an SMG during the Civil War! lolololol!" It just seems like a stupid game.
But then again it is coming out for the PC so it's free like a mod anyway.
Wait what?
I want this. It's basically a god game of FPS. I mean who hasn't once dreamed of going back and mowing down a bunch of guys with swords?
