Teleglitch - a roguelike shooter

You are alone in a scientific complex on a deserted planet.
Monsters have overrun the base.
You gotta survive.

Fun?
Hell yes.

It's a top-down shooter with a very distinct and minimalistic pixelated art-style. The game's most distinct features:
* You can only see what the character can see (so you gotta peek around corners and such)
* Weapons and ammo are scarce, more often than not you are forced to create improvised devices (like my favourite, the Cangun, which shoots an entire can of nails in a general direction, obliterating everything)
* You can combine items you find to create interesting devices, weapons, ammo (nailgun, nailbomb, steel plate armor, assault rifle that fires depleted uranium rounds, panzerfaust, to name a few)

The UI is minimalistic and very easy to work with.

TotalBiscuit's WTF is... Telegtlich?

 

Tis' game. AAAWESOME. Playing demo. Is great. I will definitely purchase it when I'll get more cash or just wait for sale ^_^

'Little McGyver' game element is always a fun thing, plus gameplay is very smooth and entertaining. Certainly recommending, if you don't get easily scared by rough graphics style.

Afaik, MM also approves (at least his Facebook profile does).

 

Just to let you guys know that TotalBiscuit did a WTF is... Teleglitch? video, which I embedded in the top post.

 

Fucking awesome game. I love how the pixels distort while firing. Though...

Spoiler: Spoiler

Suffered a really cheap death on Level 6, in that one room with the machinegunning robot(?) snake thing. Up until that point the loudest noises were from the teleporter, but oh god. The loud scream from it surprised me and delayed my reaction long enough to result in my death.

Finally got around to beating this game.
Teleblitz probably would've been a decent title. Mostly in consideration of the final boss.

Spoiler

Bullets. Bullets and lasers and explosives and nails all over the entire goddamn place holy shit man

Get powerlegs. But be warned, even with powerlegs there's tons of shit you can't outrun.

 

Yeah, it's much easier with that weapon, I had used up all of the ammo for that one on the large squidbots in lower levels. I had saved up a bunch of laser batteries because I assumed the boss was gonna be a robot. And not just a bunch of walls instead.

 

It took me ages to get to level three. And then I died. X3

 

Having finally taken the time to play this, I can confirm the awesome. Dat shockblade makes the earlier levels SO much safer. <3

 

Teleglitch: Die More Edition is on sale on Steam 75% off, which means it costs 3.25€
Fucking get it now if you were on the fence before.

 

I just got it on Steam, and am rapidly trying to obtain and sell trading cards so I can scrounge up enough for the DLC.

... of course, whether I get the DLC or not depends on whether it's worth it. Is it worth it? Anyone know?

 

Actually the guns and stuff cost 0.99 euro. I am thinking about buy this game.

 

This game is serious business, I can't get past level 7

 

I just realized I had this game lying around in my steam library (prolly got it for free). Might give it a try just to be bad at it.
