About Judy

As WP's managing editor, I edit review and preview articles, attempt to keep up with the frantic pace of Rainier's news posts, and keep our reviewers on deadline, which is akin to herding cats. When I have a moment to myself and don't have my nose in a book, I like to play action/RPG, adventure and platforming games.

In DeathRun TV, contestants must battle their way through swarms of enemies dreamt up in a lab — all for the satisfaction of an audience that never switches off.

DeathRun TV is a roguelike shooter with breakneck speed, bullet-dodging action, and lots of guns. Put it all on the line for the (rogue)likes — and remember, the run is all that matters.

In a seriously disturbed future where the quest for fame means everything, contestants must battle their way through swarms of enemies dreamt up in a lab — all for the satisfaction of an audience that never switches off. Likes are awarded for everything, from blowing up giant mutated creatures to choosing to save helpless humans attached to death contraptions.

With breakneck speed, bullet-dodging action and lots of guns, you'll need to survive swarms of rabid mutants to progress and level up your contestant. Twin-stick bullet hell action tests your reflexes through each arena.

Don't feel like being a hero? Hit the kill switch to bring things to a swift and bloody end while earning advanced weapons in the process. Each attempt sees the Deathrunners transformed into twisted killing machines with abilities, such as exploding bodies and giant heads.

A playable demo for DeathRun TV is currently available on Steam.


Key Features:

  • CongratMutations! Getting those precious likes and leveling up your likability will be rewarded with an ever-changing roster or mutations to choose from including exploding bodies and big heads.
  • Game Over! Try again! State of the art studio and proprietary technology will reanimate your body ensuring that you can try again and again, and again and again...Each run offers new challenges and new opportunities to gain fame
  • In jeopardy? Phone a friend! Call in backup from up to three other friends for 1 to 4 player multiplayer for carnage your brain will barely comprehend.
