Launch Window“Deadzone: Rogue is an incredibly moreish rougelite shooter that I can’t get enough of. So much so that I’ve played it for a week straight at every opportunity I could get, and I still want to keep playing. The game features exceptional gunplay and cross-play co-op, allowing players to drop in and out with randoms. For the reasonable price of £19.99, it is well worth it”

Launch Window“Fans of roguelite games can’t get enough of Deadzone: Rogue‘s “just one more run” loop. It moves smoothly, the gunplay feels powerful, and the synergy system makes building different characters fun. As you’re in the middle of a run, enemies are coming at you from all sides, and your guns are chaining lightning across the screen. This is when the game really shines.”
