What is Deadlink?

In this first-person roguelite shooter, you pilot a combat shell against powerful corporations in a cyberpunk setting. Runs take you through slums, labs, warehouses, and offices, where you dash and jump through firefights, choose weapon loadouts and upgrades, and strengthen your next shell after defeat.

For you if...

+you enjoy testing different combat shells and upgrade combinations
+you like fast, difficult first-person shootouts

Not for you if...

−you dislike starting over after losing a combat shell
−you prefer shooting without managing abilities and weapon loadouts
