TV189

Yep, once again it's Gameguru . Please dear Dev(s), you put me on an open map looking for 10 or was it 15 keys??? The fog is a smart trick to hide the fact that the engine cannot handle big open maps. But having to go hunting for keys, without any markers and very low visibility, is bad game design. Ai is non-existent, get a sniper rifle and shoot all enemies from a distance, no challenge or gameplay there. I will probably never get to the later maps, because well on the first map even with the flashlight on it's hard to see things. But I hope you improve this product in the future because it's a no-go for me. ----------- *Edit/update* As answer to the dev's response. I appreciate the fact that you accept criticism. And I'm not here to just say bah, this is a bad game. I do not develop games either, but I did do some level design. I actually played through the whole game this afternoon. At least I think because when I killed the bad guy at the end I could not progress due to in...

It's a Game Guru game so if you go in not expecting much (like I did) I think you'll find enough here to be pleasantly surprised about. There are only a tiny handful of Game Guru games that I've gotten any kind of enjoyment out of and I must say - this is one of the handful. The AI isn't fantastic and there's not a ton of challenge in it but if you want to play something mindless for a little while and just blast dudes and zombies away in various levels - this might be the game for you. It's fairly cheap and easy to play and I enjoyed what I've played of it. I'd probably give it a neutral rating if Steam had one but since it's either recommend or not recommend I'm giving it a recommend. Check out my videos if you're on the fence (if it says one of the videos is "deleted" it means I'm currently uploading another video in the series. I'm not sure why but when an upload for a series is in progress, Youtube likes to list that video as "deleted" if you go to the playlist. Sorry about that...

Read the whole thing before passing judgement. So let me be clear, this isn't a good game. Not good in the sense that it fails to meet much of the the basic criteria most people set out for their game. The performance isn't great, which is alarming given the graphics are straight out of 2002. The assets (sounds, enemies, walls, obstacles, buildings, and skybox) are clearly not original and seem to be placed throughout the maps with gleeful abandon. Enemy AI is about as simple as it could possibly be. Gun handling is static and flat. Honestly it feels like a bad mod for Half Life one. As for the story/gameplay itself, well its a good thing the player moves like Usain Bolt on cocaine because the entire game (as best as I can discern) consists of moving across large labrynthe like maps finding keys (small, easy to miss) before backtracking to the starting area to unlock doors. The only story I got in my short playtime was Microsoft Sam's robotic giving me a sentence or two about an area...

This game is quite fun but it does have its problems. NOTE: I am aiming this to be constructive criticism Pros: Fun combat with interesting weapons and challenging enemies. An interesting concept for the story The sniping was really good. The look of the game is consistent with the graphics and the UI design, nothing felt out of place. Interesting mechanics Cons: Enemies do way too much damage but can be easily beaten if you're far away (makes the first level a challenge but in a good way). No auto-save (game crashed on me and i didn't save for like 2 levels, my bad). The story seems to fall apart after the first level, the virus seems to be forgotten about straight away and the whole premise of what is shown at the start seems to trickle away over time. Some mechanics, like the ability trees don't seem to be relevant to the game (I literally forgot about them after the first level), maybe have "n skill points remaining" in menus or as a small part of the HUD. I didn't re...

So I played the OG version of this (4 hours long) and found it fine as a basic run n gun albeit with barely any story. That version is dead however, as the creator's hard drive failed and lost the majority of the game. 2 years later, and it's shown the growth this guy's had in development. Actual voice acting instead of a robot voice, updated graphics, more story/lore, although still not much, and solid gunplay. Still, some things are rough, models, VO is still fairly amateur, and some QoL things need to happen(ESC should let you enter and exit a menu, autosave after each level/key points. Fire mode should actually be identified instead of the button just playing a animation, more medkits, and some minor sound effects issues). That said, this new version is leagues ahead of the original creation and well worth the two bucks extra now. I'm excited to see this developer grow as time goes on.

Honestly, better than I expected, worth the money although am hoping for updates soon.

fun game would recommend

Im giving this game thumbs up, because it totally playable Gameguru game :) It's small-scoped, but enjoyable experience; Equipment and skill tree add a little bit of depth to the gameplay. Combat is similar to every gameguru shooter, but - because game got small well optimised levels, it can be pretty dynamic and entertaining. I hope the game will get some updates in the future, 2-3 levels more would be nice, because right now it's very very short :)

TV189 isn't the game I expected it to be, not in a sense that it was better or worse, just different. I picked it up on sale expecting the usual indie game experience but I've just finished it and I felt like I should write a review. It felt somewhat nostalgic to play, and it felt as if the core concepts of the game were similar to that of ones I used to play on my PS2. The gameplay is unique in its simplicity, it's something you can play out the box without having to look at the controls, but still manages to achieve depth in it's story and characters. Don't get me wrong, it's still an indie title, if you're looking for AAA voice-acting and photorealistic graphs, this won't be your cup of tea, but if like me you're seeking something different then I'd 100% recommend giving it a try, I got it cheap on sale and finished the game in under 3 hours. There are however, some downsides to the game. It crashed in the middle of my playthrough but thankfully I had made a save and sometimes the...

probably the best quality gameguru game ever created. still... i miss the old junk version. Devs could add it as a free DLC
