Get ready to put a sizable dent in the profits of megacorporations in Deadlink, a fast-paced, guns-blazing cyberpunk FPS with rogue-lite elements
Become part of the Corporate Security Agency, which, contrary to the name, keeps corporations all but secure using plausibly deniable surgical attacks to prevent their most despicable schemes from coming to fruition. You are the key element of the Deadlink Protocol — the consciousness of a battle-hardened veteran soldier connecting to autonomous humanoid combat shells for a series of covert missions in diverse environments attributed to the multitude of megacorps that have the world in their grasp. And this time, covert doesn’t mean quiet. Using your remote-controlled proxies, you will dive into corporate property to wreak havoc room after room.
Deadlink promises dynamic gameplay where you are always outnumbered, but always have the power to outsmart and out-skill.
"The current version of Deadlink has two unique Combat Shells, the Soldier and the Hunter, that can be used to infiltrate the Watts-Rucker Biolabs and the Tora Neighborhoods. The flow of the game, i.e. its core combat loop and progression systems, are already all set. We're just waiting for new Deadlink players to push them to the limit."
"In the full version, you'll be able to explore the headquarters of four mega-corporations and fight a bunch of new enemies and bosses. Two new playable Combat Shells, each with its own unique weapons and abilities, will allow you to develop completely new combat strategies. Between this and new implants packs, Deadlink's replayability is going to be massively expanded in the full version."
Key Features:
- Be part of an elite organization - You are the Corporate Security Agency\’s greatest weapon, and it's your job to make sure the corporations and their shady deals are anything but secure. With the team at HQ backing you up, you're tossed headfirst into the fray, where a military operation with plausible deniability can fix things for a fraction of the cost of a hopeless court case.
- Think fast, shoot faster – Every randomized run will be different, but one thing never changes: you will be outnumbered. Get ready to think on your feet as you dash, jump, and use the environment to your advantage. You can't stand still, not even for a second.
- Kill in style – Equip your shell with powerful weapon loadouts. Try out various combinations as you blaze a path of destruction. Want to snipe your foes from a distance, debilitate them with status effects, or just go in guns blazing? Whatever your playstyle, you can find the right kit for the job.
- Train and augment your brawn – Your enemies have no shortage of bullets and bodies to throw at you. But you're no slouch either. Sure, you might lose a combat shell here and there, but your next one will be even tougher. You’ll need it to face more and more deadly opponents – from robotic gang members and deadly cyborg Geishas in neon-lit alleys to industrial labs’ high-tech security. Start each new run with amped-up skills and deadlier firepower!
Currently available on Steam Early Access, Deadlink is coming to PC on July 27, 2023.
