“There are plenty of cyberpunk games which allow you to use hacking in combat, but few with such immediate, explosive consequences”
Rock Paper Shotgun

“It feels absolutely badass to use your hacking powers in varied violent ways, and I’m looking forward to causing a lot of damage with them. When I think of hacking in games I think of puzzle mini games, but Deadwire’s hacking focus is so much more than this”
Loot Level Chill

About This Game

DeadWire is a top-down tactical shooter where everything can become a chain-reaction trap. Combine firepower with hacking abilities to manipulate the environment and outsmart heavily armed enemies standing in your way. You play as Wire, a skilled hacker trying to save his mentor.

Chain Reaction Carnage

In the high-tech world of DeadWire, you can hack enemies and link them to each other and nearby objects, causing deadly chain reactions that turn the environment into a weapon.

Mix fast shooting, power-ups, and a unique hacking (ReWire) ability to help you defeat enemies and complete your mission. Use the hack view to spot opportunities, plan your approach, or dive in guns blazing. And if things go wrong, restart and try a new strategy

Features

  • 30+ levels and 80+ side objectives - Handcrafted missions built for challenge and replayability. Unlock cheats and new playstyles as you complete side objectives.

  • Hack the World - Almost everything can be linked. Chain enemies together, overload cars, toggle lasers, and more.

  • Weapons on Weapons - Pistols, smart rifles, cyber grenades and more. Mix hacking with firepower for maximum chaos.

  • Side-Objectives, Time Trials and Score Mode - Creative solutions are rewarded! Beat time trials, finish side objectives, and chase high scores.

  • Epic Electronic Soundtrack - Dirty basslines and heavy drums bring the cyberpunk city to life.

So to sum it all up:

  • Deadwire is designed to challenge (but it's not impossible)

  • Use weapons and your hacking ability to turn the odds in your favor

  • Gameplay is a mix of fast shooting and slower combat puzzles

  • There is a story but it's not story driven

  • Replayability through side objectives, time trials and score mode
