The latest trailer for 3AM Games Magrunner Dark Pulse was released recently and is named the First Contact trailer and is going to be released for PC, Xbox Live and PSN but there has been no release date or price given for it yet.
Magrunner Dark Pulse in case you’ve never heard of it is an Action/Reflection game. While the trailer says that there are 7 Magrunners but the trailer itself focuses on one called Dax who will be the games hero and the end of the trailer reveals that he may be looking for a girl when at the end of the trailer he says “I’m not leaving her here”.
Some of the areas shown off so far look genuinely cool
Magrunner will take place in the future of 2050 and the game itself will take place on the Magtech space exploration training facility. In order to do the games puzzles players will have to master the Magfist a glove that lets you shoot objects with green and red charges. Things charged with two of the same energy will attract and two with different energy will obviously repel each other.
Now while the game will be testing your skills with the glove you’ll also have to deal with one other same problem and by that I mean enemies who all happen to be from the Cthulhu Mythos and as the game goes on the environments will change to look the apart and from what has been shown in the trailer the areas look pretty cool although the enemies themselves look kind of boring especially considering what they’ve been taken from.
For a true Cthulhu experience no would be a good time to go insane
To be fair the idea of having to try and solve puzzles while at the same time dealing with monsters from the Cthulhu Mythos does honestly sound pretty good. So far there hasn’t been anything about weapons that you can use and I actually hope that it stays that way otherwise the enemies might just end up being only a mild nuisance. Oh and since the developers themselves said that the enemies will be from the Cthulhu Mythos I wonder if a certain monster will appear.
So that’s the first trailer for Magrunner Bark Pulse and the game does have some potential with its interesting setting, puzzle mechanics and cool enemies ideas even if the enemies shown so far look boring.
