Description: The wait is almost over, in Combat Tested you can fully realize that dream, and more. Playing the game you’ll have full control over a range of special abilities designed to make you feel like a badass. You have telekinesis, allowing you to pick up and throw objects and enemies. There’s stasis, a power that lets you freeze objects in mid-air for a short period of time. You can freely teleport around for fast movement. Then there are 3 super abilities, these can only be used when your Infusion stage is at 1 or higher. To increase your Infusion stage or I.F. stage for short, you drain I.F. containers that can be found throughout the lab.
If you like superpowers, you probably like swords as well. So you’ll get those too, two actually. These are no regular swords though, they have been infused with *something*, and as a result, they can cut through anything. These swords are linked to your being, allowing you to materialize and dematerialize them at will. This means that you could throw them at an enemy to cut them in half from far away, and then materialize them back in your hands.
Review: Combat Tested is an action game in which you are given the power of telekinesis to enter some sort of laboratory and take down the bad guys. You can throw the people to kill them or you can throw furniture at them to achieve the same thing. The good news is things are not that simple at all and after just a few hits you will die and have to start the level all over again. Also, not every bad-guy is effected by your powers, so those you will need to take down with your swords. I have to say, I thought this game was going to be a lot easier than it was, but there was still not quite enough content to justify the current £15.49 asking price. But grab this in a half-price sale and you should be quite happy with your purchase.
