Teslagrad puzzler platformer announced for Wii U release

Teslagrad, the side-scrolling puzzler from Rain Games, has been announced for Wii U.

The steampunk, puzzle platformer with action elements, gives users electromagnetic powers to help with the game's challenges.

Here's a list of features:

Complex puzzles: Put your sense of logic to the test and cleverly manipulate the world around you using electricity and magnetism, the lifeblood of the game. Puzzles will range from “pff, that wasn't so bad” to keyboard-smashing, controller-chewing frustration.

Explore: Make your way through rich 2D hand-drawn surroundings as you journey into — and beyond— Tesla Tower, as you discover and use amazing new items.

Visual storytelling: Tired of all those words in your video games? Have no fear, Teslagrad features not a single snippet of text or squeak of dialogue. Everything is purely visual, and the entire story is told through what you see (and sometimes what you don't see).

Steampunk powered: Discover a dystopic and mind-blowing rainy-and-brainy setting, presenting a steampunk vision of an old Europe-inspired new world.

Old-school boss fights: Use your skills and wits to overcome the 5 incredible final bosses eager to demagnetize you.

No disruptions: That means no loading screens, no GUI, no cutscenes. Just the game and you.

Mesmerizing soundtrack: Awesome mix of classical orchestra, with a touch of Russian inspiration and a myriad of metal bit and electrical stuff.

Teslagrad will be available as a digital release during Q4 on Linux, Mac, PC, PS3 and Wii U.

Thanks, Nintendo Life.
