One of the worst enemies of modern indie games that have an arcade-like feel is old-ass people like me, pulling along a lifetime of previous experiences and sometimes pretty high expectations. Knowing the premise behind Deathrun TV, anyone who has been around for quite a few decades is immediately going to recall fond memories of the classic Smash TV. While that nostalgia in your mind doesn’t completely wreck the experience, it does give it a pretty severe limp. You’ll be trying to use whatever weapons and power-ups you’re able to grab to survive an enemy and death trap-filled series of rooms. Saving non-combatants by escorting them to their safe rooms unscathed is generally a good idea since it’s a good way to get some boosts, but sometimes things just go wrong.
