Focus Interactive released some fresh Magrunner screenshots to whet the appetite for this interesting looking puzzle based racing game.
3AM Games' Portal inspired Lovecraftian puzzler is unashamedly derived from similar first person puzzlers - but is there something more to it? It promises to innovate, not merely iterate, so let's talk to 3AM Games' Olga Ryzkho.
Need more sci-fi puzzlers in your life? Don’t worry, Magrunner: Dark Pulse has you covered.
The game follows Dax, one of seven young geniuses enrolled in the Magtech deep space exploration training program. The kicker? You’ve got a glove that magnetically charges objects. By assigning colors, and thus polarities, to various objects, players must move through test chambers that promise to test both their minds and their reflexes. The trailer released by Focus Interactive today briefly lets us see this game mechanic in action before introducing some good old Lovecraftian armageddon into the mix...
Magrunner Dark Pulse, the action/reflection game for PC, Xbox LIVE and PlayStation Network, today unveils more through the very first video of the game! In the near future, in 2050, a handful of young and brilliant citizens have been chosen by Gruckezber Corporation to join the Magtech training program for space exploration. Equipped with a special glove using Gruckezberg’s technology, the candidates have to solve their way through a huge maze of challenge rooms, by magnetically charging objects that will attract or repel each other. But when an earthquake disrupts the training program, what seemed to be the chance of a lifetime for the candidates will soon become a descent into folly and cosmic horror! In this video, plunge with Dax, the hero of the game, into a future where Technology confronts the Cthulhu Mythos!
So, this is like a poor man's Portal or something? Doesn't look bad... I'll wait to see more before downloading.
