The day has come for the hottest first-person beat'em'up to hit the virtual shelves!
Fight your way through the first 10+ action-packed levels of Episode 1 (out of 3) by experimenting with all(?) the core gameplay elements that make TEXNOPLAZM a one-of-a-kind FPS, coming up with your own combos and rack up the highest score. The Launch-Day version contains the Prologue (a.k.a. the demo) and the first three Chapters, each one divided into multiple levels, offering the same structure experienced in the demo but with even more surprises.
- New abilities and upgraded movesets
Unlock powerful active and passive upgrades at Upgrade Terminals by uncovering every secret in select levels. Active upgrades will count as special moves that can be activated once their meter is full, while passive upgrades will improve moves or interactions that are present in the core game loop.
- Gear Up for Combat
Prepare to wield new melee weapons, guns, and more. Even better, the aforementioned upgrades will bring fresh ways to interact with your arsenal, opening even more stylish options at every encounter.
- New Enemies Fight against brand-new enemy types as you progress through the game, decide which one is your (un)favorite to deal with.
- New Bosses
Wrap up each Chapter by facing a new boss, each one of them testing your skills in unique ways.
- General improvements
The feedback gathered from you all has been pivotal to make the game flow as smoothly as possible, so I hope that the version 0.1 of TEXNOPLAZM will feel fun and rewarding.
