Deathstate

Deathstate is a single-stick shooter with roguelike and bullet-hell gameplay, set in a bizarre world of dimensional exploration. You play as one of several characters seeking the fate of Professor Elinberg, who opened a portal to the void. By entering a death-like meditative state, you travel through hostile outer realms in search of mysteries and treasure.

The outer realms

Deathstate’s worlds combine 16-bit pixel art with Unity shader effects. Environments, enemies and bosses warp and shift under the chaotic influence of the warp. The dimensions are procedurally generated and filled with nightmarish beings, so you must use your knowledge and skill to survive the dangers that emerge.

Characters and abilities

You unlock additional playable characters over repeated runs. Each has unique abilities, and choosing a character lets you customize your starting build to improve your chances of survival.

Treasures and powers

Exploration yields arcane grimoires, mystic weaponry, burial masks and gem-encrusted idols. Elite enemies and bosses can drop organs, which grant supernatural powers that push your character beyond mortal limits.
