Trendy Entertainmentâs tower defense action role-playing game Dungeon Defenders hits Steam next week, and Valve has packed the game a little care package, filled with tiny Team Fortress 2 dudes and an Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device. What, no snacks?
Built especially for Dungeon Defenderâs Huntress class, this special version of Valveâs Portal gun functions exactly as advertised, linking two different areas with those familiar blue and orange glowing circles. Players can use these nifty portals to send enemies careening into pits, refocus firepower where itâs needed most, and just have a generally fun time screwing around.
Wonât a Portal gun break the game? Trendy assures players that it wonât, as the player will have to channel all of their mana into keeping portals open. Itâs just a fun new way to play the game thatâs already charmed the pants off mobile gamers everywhere.
And then thereâs the Team Fortress 2 familiars, a set of four tiny TF2 characters that follow your character about, doing stuff. What sort of stuff? How about repairing towers (Engineer), healing allies (Medic), setting things on fire (Pyro), and filling dungeon invaders with lead (Heavy)?
Those of you wondering why you should buy Dungeon Defenders on PC instead of Xbox Live Arcade or the PlayStation Network, thereâs your answer.
