About Deadzoned

~ In the year 29XX interplanetary wars erupted as a nanite plague spread to every star colony decimating the human populations. On the planet Celestious survivors scavenge subterranean zones for supplies and lost tech while battling the bandits, beasts, and monster that stalk the blackouts. ~GameplayDeadzoned is a traditional turn-based action Roguelike in a sci-fi setting. Venture ever-deeper into the Deadzones blasting through a wide assortment of enemies from critters and creatures, to gangs of outlaws and cultists, and terrifying monsters of the blackouts.

To survive you'll need shrewd wits to make best use of the busted up weapons, gear, and limited ammo you stumble upon as you decide whether fully exploring the enemy strewn zones is worth the gamble. Thankfully murdering meanies gives XP to level up your Stats and Talent choices to customise your build. Features Every playthrough a procedurally-generated nightmare: Each zone fight through a unique layout facing random events as you level-up differently with special talents, find rusting weapons and strange gear, interact with ancient machines to boost your build, and fight or avoid the enemies that infest them.

Fast arcade action: There's no agonising over item weight limits, loot everything you find and blast your way through the meanies to get the biggest score you can muster.. but keep an eye on your weapon's durability and ammo! Multiple game modes: Fancy a quick 20 minute trip? Or maybe a more lengthy session?…

Looks like a mobile port. Changing rez does nothing in settings. Large & chunky .. probably looks great on small devices
