About this game

In Falcon: The Renegade Lord, a renegade TIME agent is disrupting history by moving artifacts between different time zones. As a time lord, the player must locate the misplaced objects and return them to their correct chronological periods before the resulting damage destroys the time zones.

The player's spacecraft, the Falcon's Wing, transports them between eras and provides information about local inhabitants, artifacts, and detected disturbances. On the ground, the player explores with a laser gun and jet pack, carrying one artifact at a time while defending against hostile inhabitants.

Gameplay

  • Recover and replace artifacts in their proper time zones.
  • Use the laser gun to destroy attacking inhabitants.
  • Collect tokens for temporary abilities: Power of Will immobilizes inhabitants, while Thinkstrike grants temporary invisibility.
  • Manage the time limit and stamina in each zone; taking hits reduces the available time.

The mission ends when stamina is completely depleted or the overall time limit expires.
