Deadlink is a sci-fi roguelite shooter that takes place in a futuristic world with robots, augmented humans, and greedy mega corporations. This visually stunning game perfects nearly everything a fast-paced roguelite shooter should be and adds its own spin on the genre with cyberpunk aesthetics.

TIME PLAYED

I played
Deadlink for three hours. I defeated the first and second boss, as well as unlocked around ten permanent upgrades. I’ve attempted and failed over a dozen runs, with each one lasting anywhere between ten to twenty-plus minutes.

WHAT’S AWESOME

• Runnin’ and gunnin’. Very few roguelite shooters match
Deadlink’s smooth, almost euphoric gameplay experience. Dashing across the battlefield and shooting robots left and right is super fun in and of itself but only because the game is near-flawless. Everything from movement to aesthetic and combat are all well-thought-out and masterfully made to create an addictive fast-paced shooting experience.

• Loadout customization.
Deadlink adds its own roguelite touch to combat by featuring weapon modifications and enhancements throughout each run, as well as upgrades I could acquire permanently in the customization menu. Experimenting with these augments kept combat fresh.

• Adaptive dialogue. Every time I died to a boss, I got embarrassingly reminded by other characters how much I suck. The opposite interaction applied when I bested strong opponents or passed a level. This adaptive dialogue brought the game to life and got me pumped up about killing robots.

• Dynamic movement. It’s partially thanks to
Deadlink’s frictionless animations and dynamic movement that combat feels so thrilling. Whether it’s jumping across an open area, dashing toward safety, or even just running, movement feels very natural and smooth.

• Auto-targeting your enemies. Deadlink’s auto-target feature for abilities and grenades made it easier to land hits. This gave me a better chance overall to survive the seemingly endless waves of enemies that threatened me.

• A futuristic, cyberpunk style. Every environment in
Deadlink glistens with neon lights and flashy billboards—and the characters all look sick and technologically decked-out.

WHAT SUCKS

• Lack of balance. There are a lot of ways to play in
Deadlink—and although that means there’s a wider variety of playstyles for me to enjoy, it also results in some weapons or modifications being a little overpowered or useless. For example, the rocket launcher is one of the worst weapons in Deadlink because it damages the user if they’re caught near the blast radius, which works terribly with the game’s tight-spaced room designs.

Deadlink - HIGH INTENSITY, FACED PACED Roguelike FPS Game!
Deadlink is a brand new rogue like fast paced FPS game that is available on PC and you can grab it on Steam now. There isn't much of a story in this game as far as I can tell, there is some chatter between the NPC's in your base, but I couldn't find anything of interest in the story whatsoever, but it's not really the story that is the highlight of this game anyway. The gameplay is where it's all at in this game. You go from instance to instance with a primary and secondary gun, and you have to shoot up as many enemies as the rooms hold before you can move onto the next room. Throwing grenades on your enemies will make them drop more items and shield recharge drops, which are very valuable compared to just killing them straight up. You also have a grappling hook and an ability to stun the enemies as well. You can grapple to just about everything that can be highlighted, and it does have a cool down. You can use the grapple to also grab onto the balls floating in the sky, these balls also hold ammo and other items of value so it's good to grab those when you can.
