About Deathrow

Deathrow is a brutal fighting sport where the fastest, toughest players are victorious and the slow and weak are defeated. It combines the lightning-fast gameplay of third-person action games, adrenaline rush of fighting games and the cooperative team play and gritty roughness of rugby, offering a unique gameplay experience. The object of the game is to win matches however you can, either by scoring as many points as possible before time runs out, or by severely injuring your opponents and removing them from the field of combat.

  • Feel the rush as you beat the pulp out of your opponents using back-breaking holds, blood-splattering punches and fast sliding kicks to knock the competition to the floor.
  • Team up with a friend and go for a team K.O. as you electrify the crowd, stomping your enemies and scoring.
  • Earn money by winning matches, injuring your opponents and exciting the audience, to attract star players and train your current team making them stronger by any means necessary.
  • Engage in fierce hand-to-hand combat against your friends, enemies, or highly-intelligent AI opponents that don't just get mad, they get even!

In Deathrow there are no rules and full-contact aggression is not only legal, it's required!
