About the Game

Dead Engine is a survival action-roguelike where players explore a post-apocalyptic city overrun by intelligent zombie threats. Each choice to fight or flee impacts survival as zombies actively track, adapt, and work together to hunt their prey. Loot critical items and manage your expandable backpack every item could mean the difference between life and death.                                                        

                               Hand-Drawn Pixel Environment and Survival Tactics

Our post-apocalyptic world comes alive through hand-drawn pixel art, where every corner of the carefully crafted maps holds strategic potential. Plan your escape routes, set clever traps, and transform city ruins into deadly obstacles. Your survival depends on how well you use the terrain against the zombie hordes.

                                                         Advanced Zombie AI

Zombies in Dead Engine think, adapt, and hunt as a collective threat. Our unique pathfinding system enables them to intelligently move through the city, adjusting their routes based on your position. When they spot others nearby, they merge into dangerous hunting hordes. Ranged zombies bring another layer of challenge - they'll keep their distance while attacking and launch acid bombs over structures if you try to hide.

                                            Unique Characters and Journeys

Scattered across the map, characters await for your paths to cross but only if you can follow their traces. Each encounter offers a new perspective and a different way to survive. Explore, connect, and remember: you're not alone in this dangerous world. And when you discover a character, you’ll unlock the ability to play as them. Every meeting takes you deeper into the city, and into yourself.

                                                           Trade and Stories

Between intense looting runs, find respite at your shop where fellow survivors gather to trade. By selling items they desperately need, you'll not only earn more scrap but also uncover their haunting survival stories. Each completed trade reveals another chapter of their journey, making every transaction meaningful.
