About

Deadzone: Rogue is a fast-paced, sci-fi shooter where you’ll battle waves of enemies. Customize your character with powerful upgrades to create your own unique fighting style. Even when you fall, you’ll come back stronger, and you can play alone or with friends. It’s a cycle of combat, defeat, and becoming more powerful with each attempt.

You wake up on the ISS-X space station with no idea who you are. A huge number of dangerous robots are attacking, and they’re quickly surrounding you. You’ll need to battle through waves of enemies, find powerful equipment, and upgrade yourself with enhancements if you want to survive. Can you overcome the challenges of the Deadzone?

Key Features

  • Face Powerful Enemies – Fight against massive, biomechanical bosses that demand steady aim and quick reflexes. Annihilate waves of hunter-drones, robotic spiders, the mindless, and dozens of other enemies to survive each run. Battle through each ship sector — from the engine rooms to the brig.
  • Loot and Shoot – Master over 30 powerful weapons, each modifiable with elemental affixes and upgrades. Turn a shotgun into a void-spreading crowd crusher, or a submachine gun into a room clearing hail of ice. From plasma cannons to sniper rifles, your arsenal adapts to any combat scenario.
  • Unleash Elemental Fury – Incinerate drones with fire, freeze swarms with ice, chain lightning enemies with shock, or send them to the void with a well-timed headshot.
  • Roguelite Gameplay – Transform your combat approach through dozens of augments, perks, and items. Dominate from afar, strike from the shadows with stealth, or get close with enhanced melee. Your choices offer a unique experience against the mechanical onslaught.
  • Grow Stronger in Death – Use permanent upgrades to reshape yourself into a killing machine. Boost your shields, amplify elemental chaos, and tear bots apart with satisfying fury. Forge a path that matches your playstyle.
  • Unravel the Mystery – Explore a spaceship overrun by biomechanical creatures, enjoy an original music soundtrack and art, and discover your true mission and origin.
  • Fight on Your Terms – Start each new battle cloaked in stealth. Scout enemies out and decide on an attack plan before engaging them in combat. Explosive barrels, wall cover, and a mix of environments add an extra layer of strategy.
  • Solo or Cooperative Carnage – Adventure on your own, or conquer the ship in a cooperative squad of up to three players. Mark enemies for focused fire, synchronize grenade strikes, and storm enemies with overwhelming force. Adjust difficulty levels for each mission to match your mood, from a more laid-back adventure experience all the way to nightmare mode.
