TROUBLE SHOOTERS

WARDEN CONTRACT: ACTIVE

Something came through the Rift. WARDEN has four operatives on the payroll and an

equipment requisition budget.

TROUBLE SHOOTERS is a 2D roguelite run-and-gun. Every run assembles a fresh chain of

rooms, hands you whatever the drop tables felt like handing you, and asks you to make it

work. The aliens are numerous, expressive, and extremely committed. So are you.

FOUR OPERATIVES

• GRUNT — Rifle, no surprises, no bad matchups. Being good at everything turns

  out to be worth a great deal.

• TANK — Fights with pile-driver fists and closes distance like it is a

  personal matter. An unstoppable force, not an immovable object.

• DOC — Combat tech with a drone escort. Keeps a squad upright.

  Working alone, he remains optimistic.

• WRAITH — Dagger spray, frenzy, no margin for error. The highest damage

  on the roster attached to the thinnest skin on the roster.

YOUR DSCO CARRIES THE BIG GUN

Field weapons do not go in your hands. They go to your DSCO — a Deployable Support Combat

Operator, which is a drone that follows you, holds the weapon, and fires when you fire.

Pick up a railgun and the drone brings it along until the ammunition runs out, then drops

it and waits for the next one. Your own weapon never runs dry, so you are never unarmed

and never stuck with a bad pickup.

GEAR THAT COMPOUNDS

Over sixty stacking items, plus consumables for when the plan stops working. Effects

multiply rather than replace. A run that begins with a slightly faster reload can end with

a screen that is no longer strictly legible.

FIVE BOSSES

Every zone ends with something that takes up the whole screen. The Foremen are four

industrial androids working a shared metronome, attacking in sequence — and the sequence

tightens every time one of them goes down. The others are worse.

2-4 PLAYER CO-OP

Bring a squad. A death is not the end of the run while a teammate is still standing: you are

listed as a casualty and redeploy at the next zone boundary. The run only ends when the

last operative goes down.

FOUR OPERATION TIERS

Easy through INVADERS MUST DIE, each one unlocked by finishing the one before it. At the

top tier, anything that survives long enough gets angry, and that includes the bosses.

ALSO IN THE BOX

• Full controller support, with in-game rebinding

• Uncapped framerate, with display and accessibility options

• A WARDEN terminal that answers when you type at it
