Deathground aims to feature both solo and co-operative gameplay so players can try to survive alone or play in teams of up to 3. Players form a group of professional hunters and survivalists on a mission to the “Deathground” to retrieve high-value loot.

As players, you form a group of professional hunters and survivalists on a mission to retrieve high-value loot you have been assigned to capture by the REDSTONE corporation.

Players are put through the ultimate test of cooperation as they travel through darkened and anxious environments overrun by deadly dinosaurs, in order to survive. Reactive AI dinosaurs that hunt you down, random extraction points and dynamic objectives create unpredictable and varied experiences and all contribute to a menacing atmosphere filled with fear, suspense and anticipation.

The game features dynamic gameplay enriched with objectives, stealth and combat; unpredictable AI dinosaurs; special character classes; a range of items and weapons; and truly terrifying environments, harnessing the power of Unreal Engine 4.

Jaw Drop Games' Deathground Kickstarter campaign has reached its initial funding goal of $100,882 and with two weeks to go has revealed its first stretch goal.

First up, we're unveiling a new dinosaur type: The Allosaurus. This beast sits between the Raptor and the T-Rex on our size chart and is going to terrorize you down those dark corridors. Be warned.
