Om spillet

Dead Engine is a survival action-roguelike where players explore a post-apocalyptic city overrun by intelligent zombie threats. Each choice to fight or flee impacts survival as zombies actively track, adapt, and work together to hunt their prey. Loot critical items and manage your expandable backpack every item could mean the difference between life and death.                                                        

Hand-Drawn Pixel Environment and Survival Tactics

Our post-apocalyptic world comes alive through hand-drawn pixel art, where every corner of the carefully crafted maps holds strategic potential. Plan your escape routes, set clever traps, and transform city ruins into deadly obstacles. Your survival depends on how well you use the terrain against the zombie hordes.

Camp Management

The camp is a living system that requires constant management. When morale, hygiene, shelter, and resources fall out of balance, order within the camp quickly collapses. Keep the fire burning, build shelters, clean up poop, and maintain survivor morale. Every decision you make directly shapes the future of your camp.

The Future of Your Camp is in Your Hands

Some survivors will want to join your camp and improve your chances of survival, but you cannot know who will turn into a zombie as they may hide it from you. Be careful and check everyone at the gate. Others may not want to join but still seek to trade, so listen to their requests carefully. By selling them items they desperately need, you will not only earn more scrap but also uncover their haunting survival stories.

Advanced Zombie AI

Zombies in Dead Engine think, adapt, and hunt as a collective threat. Our unique pathfinding system enables them to intelligently move through the city, adjusting their routes based on your position. When they spot others nearby, they merge into dangerous hunting hordes. Ranged zombies bring another layer of challenge - they'll keep their distance while attacking and launch acid bombs over structures if you try to hide.

Expandable Backpack and Inventory Management

Find backpacks and expand them to carry more items. Merge items to free up space and customize your backpack to match your playstyle while exploring the city and fighting zombies. A well-upgraded backpack can be the key to survival.

Unique Characters and Journeys

Scattered across the map, characters await for your paths to cross but only if you can follow their traces. Each encounter offers a new perspective and a different way to survive. Explore, connect, and remember: you're not alone in this dangerous world. And when you discover a character, you’ll unlock the ability to play as them. Every meeting takes you deeper into the city, and into yourself.
