it's hard to tell, if the game would be easier, with reasonable graphics. there are some games, that come with AAA+ graphics and are dull, others with only text are well written and you're completely into it. Teleglitch is different. Difficult, no chance of keeping upgrades to make it easier: Roguelike at it's best. If you know and like this genre, as well as the horror setting, then Teleglitch can keep you entertained for quite some time. I have mixed feelings. spending free time, to get my ass beaten, that just doesn't feel like joy. I don't like the extreme competition. Gaming for me is like enjoying a book or a tv show. if I get murdered and have to "see" the same things over and over again, i feel like, I'm running around in circles, no progress.
