DDoD is a top-down roguelite shooter with gunplay that feels right and mutants you'll love, or hate. Inspired by Diablo-like style and pacing, along with Stalker-ish vibe and atmosphere.
You arrive at the edge of the Purple Lands - a sealed-off experimental industrial region struck by a sentient substance known as the Fog. The territory is inhabited by dangerous yet adorable creatures. Don’t get charmed; they will eat you alive if you get distracted. Get to work and cleanse the Purple Lands.
Your journey leads to the very heart of the huge industrial wasteland where experiments took place. Across swamps, forests, and dead villages - to the Source. You’ll scavenge along the way while exploring the open world and dungeons, customize your weapons, and push your luck. It’s up to you to choose the path: the world is huge, and every faction has its own agenda.
### ENTER THE PURPLE LANDS
Explore the Purple Lands, once a thriving industrial hub, now a wound in the countryside. The zone is littered with towns, factories, military checkpoints, research bunkers, and various dungeons. It’s 60 km2 big and built using real-world topography, the terrain shifts between dense forests, swamps, and industrial ruins. Expect dynamic weather, a full day/night cycle, and warped climates where the landscape itself has been altered by an anomaly.
### GET TO THE SOURCE. ALONE OR TOGETHER
Every run starts at the base. From there, the route is yours to choose, take side quests to stockpile gear, upgrade your loadout, and explore points of interest. Or gamble everything on a straight shot into the Fog. Solo or 1-4 player co-op runs to share the loot, revive each other, and ambush the dungeons together. Friends are optional, but recommended.
### SURVIVE THE FOG AND ADORABLES
The purple Fog seeps up from the depths of the Purple Lands. They are dangerous and must be cleansed. Some, like, Cryo/Pyro/Electro, shelters a mini-boss and rewards the brave. The Fog can jam your weapons without warning, forcing brutal melee encounters. The inhabitants of the Purple Lands have mutated into adorable, visually distinctive, almost endearing, yet lethal creatures. Noise-reactive, each of them has its own way to end your life.
### FAST, LOUD, AND FLUENT GUNPLAY
Tight, responsive top-down shooting with carefully tailored animations and sound effects. Weapon customization and elemental mods that change how each gun behaves in action. Enemies react to noise and player tactics. A pack of mutant hounds and an elite squad of infected mercenaries are two very different things. Fight demands well-positioning and tactics.
### OTHER FEATURES
- Solo or Co-Op. 1-4 Player Co-Op. Face the Purple Lands alone or with up to three friends. Share loot, revive allies, coordinate ambushes, and argue over who’s got to go into the Fog when the batteries fail.
- Roguelite Progression. DDoD features a variety of loadouts, points of interest, and weapon modifications. Key upgrades stay, but you’ll have to search for new gear or loot off your body if you die.
- Points of Interest. Discover military outposts, secret labs, underground tunnels and The Fog.
- Weapon Customization. Customize your loadout with scopes, silencers, elemental damage mods like fire, cold, electric and other fog-powered attachments. The right buildup is crucial.
- Battery Management. Your Protection device is a portable safe zone that dispels The Fog when turned on.
- A Cast of Crazy Locals. The bunkers of the Purple Lands are home to a cast of fully-voiced, eccentric survivors
