About TV189

TV189 is a short action game set in a dystopian near-future. Created by a passionate solo indie game developer, TV189 features 9 carefully curated levels designed to help the player master the art of intuition as their skills are put to the test with close-quarters combat as well as puzzle based gameplay. I believe the player should be in the centre of the experience by including a skill tree: giving you the choice between strength and ammunition abilities.

The game features a thoroughly written story expressed through a mix of voice acted cutscenes, in-game notes & documents in an expansive, constantly evolving plot. From waking up in a morgue at an underground facility to going on recovery/assassination missions, TV189 utilizes a range of gameplay types oriented around a variety-driven user experience.

Exploration into the map is rewarded with much-needed ammunition and transmitters. Use these transmitters to upgrade your character either to conserve ammo more efficiently or regenerate health faster with 15 different skills to learn and unlock, with 2 final 'master abilities'.
You wake up in a morgue months after working in a covert operation in Timalyun, Russia. Infected with a new mysterious virus, your body was isolated and contained to stop the disease from spreading. The Russian Front Force (R.F.F.) are a independent terrorist organisation threatening mass-destruction to the world stage with a mystery biological weapon dubbed 'TV189'.

However, unbeknownst to them is that your developed immunity means you can enter Timalyun and other R.F.F. controlled areas without danger of infection. Using this new founded ability and backed by several UN nations you must execute a cloak-and-dagger operation to put an end to the R.F.F. from the inside. From repossessing ill-obtained cash and servers to climbing onto the roof of a compound to access the venting system in an assassination assignment , TV189 presents a variety of level types and styles, each with their own themes, locations and atmospheres.
Since early access, TCG has worked hard to include a wide variety of new features to enhance the game; each level has received a complete overhaul, with new levels being added and certain scenes not making the cut leading to a refined experience including:
  • Full Inventory System with a large arsenal of weapons.
  • Skill Tree System which allows specializing in strength and ammunition abilities.
  • Dynamic Levels, where danger may be around every corner.
  • Indoor/Outdoor Scenes featuring a mix of long range & close-quarters combat.

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.

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 AI bugs out a bit and acts a bit derp but other other than that I think it was made quite well. Surprising that it was a solo dev too, seems like a passion project. What made my playthrough a memora…

Gun-play can be fun when in close quarters, story is interesting as well but not very long. Would recommend picking up if you want a quick story you can finish in a night.
