Dead End City

Dead End City is a post-apocalyptic vertical shooter in which you drive a heavily armed car called a Chariot through the wastelands. Scorpio, a gang that has conquered what remains of humanity, has raided your home and taken your loved ones to its main stronghold. You set out across Scorpio's territory to rescue them and end the gang's rule, while managing a fuel supply that is constantly running down.

Modes and combat

In Arcade Mode, you conquer five areas, each with a road section, a stronghold and a boss. Score Attack Mode lets you practise each territory and work on your score. The game also draws on the style of 1990s arcade shooters.

Fuel pickups can fill your tank beyond its normal capacity. In Topoff Mode, this overfill powers up your normal shot, and hitting enemies builds your score multiplier. You can also collect ammunition for sub weapons, which damage enemies, spawn pickup items and add to your score.

Progress and options

Each play earns Shop Points that you can spend to unlock extras. Local offline and Steam leaderboards track scores for each character type and mode.

You can customize keyboard or gamepad inputs and adjust the color of enemy bullets.
