Deadzoned

Deadzoned is a turn-based action roguelike set in a science-fiction world. In the year 29XX, interplanetary wars erupt as a nanite plague spreads across the star colonies and decimates humanity. On the planet Celestious, you scavenge subterranean Deadzones for supplies and lost technology while facing bandits, beasts and monsters that stalk the blackouts.

Explore the Deadzones

You venture through procedurally generated zones with unique layouts, random events and enemies to fight or avoid. You can explore thoroughly for loot or press on, weighing the risks of enemy-filled areas against the possible rewards. Weapons and gear are often battered, ammunition is limited, and weapons can wear down with use. You gain experience by killing enemies, then improve your stats and choose talents to shape your character.

Each mode offers a different journey length, difficulty, selection of gear and enemies, and end bosses. Optional entrances lead to Forbidden, Plagued and Cursed Deadzones, where rarer treasures and more dangerous enemies await.

Classes and encounters

The available classes include Bounty Hunters, Psychics, Wizards, Busted Robots, Technomaniacs and the Deprived Wretch. Each class levels up differently and has its own talents and preferred stats.

Random events can offer extra loot and higher scores. You might clear camps of Cannibals or Gang Scum, confront skelly-summoning Boneraisers, or encounter Black Markets, Arcane Libraries, mind-altering Fungus Fields and wallpaper-lined backrooms.

Gear and other activities

You can collect over 75 weapons, 50 gear items, 25 special items, 100 enemies and 15 end bosses, and record discoveries in the Compendium. Special devices and spells can help you escape danger: some make you invisible, teleport you to a zone entrance, summon imp allies or turn enemies into Slimes.

Deadzoned also includes Clashful Cards, a collectible strategy card game playable against the AI or a local friend. Online Steam leaderboards track scores by game mode and class, and you can unlock hats and skin colours.
