Deadzone: Rogue

Not the type to write reviews normally, but I don't appreciate the review bombing, so here I am. It's a rogue-like looter-shooter with some interesting build diversity. For $25 it's a good value for your money. The highlights are the gunplay, unique builds, dark sci-fi atmosphere, and replayability. The runs are relatively short as you would expect. 15 minutes to max 35 minutes for high-difficulty runs. Different game modes like glass cannon, arena, close or long range guns, etc. add even more variety and unlocks. There's a bit of end-game grind if that's your thing. Overall, it's a 7.5 or 8 out of 10, or maybe 9 if you're really into this type of game. The DLC is entirely optional. One is for cosmetics, the other is the soundtrack. Please don't believe the haters complaining about a sequel. The devs explained why they're going for a new game (with a free demo) instead of a DLC, so at least read it first instead of complaining about greed. It's an indie game, not AAA with micro-transactions.

If you typically avoid the Roguelike genre (like me) or are just bored with the same old formula you need to play Deadzone: Rogue. While it keeps the addictive "fight, die, upgrade, repeat" loop, it completely flips the script on how you approach an action-roguelike room. However, it is not a perfect game. After spending dozens of hours grinding out runs, there are some noticeable cracks in the steel hull of the ISS-X. PROS: - Every single sector begins in total stealth. The game gives you a moment to breathe, scan the layout, and plan an execution strategy before the absolute chaos drops. - Hitting mechanical weak spots, managing shield recharges, and fighting recoil feels closer to a tight tactical shooter than an arcade bullet hell. - Combining elements like Void and Shock to trigger screen-clearing chain reactions is intuitive and is very cool to watch. CONS: - Higher difficulties are tightly locked behind individual mission completion. Once your permanent progression scales up, you out-power the base difficulties, turning the mid-game into a repetitive loop to unlock the real challenges. - The movement is usually fast and fluid, but occasionally getting physically stuck on background collision or debris during a high-stakes firefight causes plenty of unfair deaths. Looking Forward: Prophecy Games has already announced Deadzone: Rogue 2, which shifts the fight from the cramped space corridors down to a post-apocalyptic Earth ruled by an evil machine intelligence. With a free playable demo arriving soon, I really hope they take the tactical foundation established here and use the sequel to smooth out these progression and geometry flaws. The Verdict: Despite some pacing issues and occasional geometric clutter, it remains another indie gem. It takes the progression of a great roguelite, the gunplay of a high-tier sci-fi shooter, and injects a layer of strategy that the genre desperately needs. Absolutely worth it!

你说的新作2，更应该作为这个游戏的大型付费DLC，而不是单独的新游戏！对于其他游戏开发者来说，这其实更应该作为游戏的免费大型版本更新，无人深空持续更新那么多内容，没见过他收费，你这么点内容而且还同一个框子里的，你是剧情有多好吗还单独出个2。游戏是好，但你内容更新仅仅一年是何意味

Is it perfect? no. Did I care about any sort of story? no I did not. I did enjoy playing with my friends, looting items, killing enemies, picking perks and items, and leveling up. Other people may have differing opinions, but *I* definitely feel like I got my money's worth of enjoyment out of this game.

Deadzone Rogue is a fps roguelite which got repurposed from their former game an extraction shooter. Nevertheless it's a great game. What makes this game different from any run of the mill rogue lites is the structure. The game is seperated into 4 story chapters. Each story chapter has main missions and side missions. Each mission has 20-30 rooms etc. So if you fail a mission it's not really a biggie because the other missions you already cleared stay that way. There are safe rooms in the run that you occasional run into in a mission in which you can save and quit the game. Pros: *Story is decent(you might hate it if you like elon musk though because they parody him alot/i think they parody pre-maga elon anyhow) *Gunplay is great *Synergies *Quality of life: Saving inside of runs etc. *Pacing *Difficulty: You can choose between difficulties for each mission and get more or less rewards for it. (The game might seem very easy at first but it ramps up) *Challenge side missions are fun: Clear a room within a specific time limit, only use melee weapons etc. *Skill/Perk meta progression *Imbalanced builds are lots of fun. *It has coop (didnt try it though) *Enemy variety is decent. (enemies have different attacks and patterns/look destincitve) Some other games like roboquest dont seem to have such distincitve characterstics as far as i can see) Cons: *Gfx are a little outdated but I personally really didn't mind. Didn't have any performance issues nor crashed. *Weapon skins: You can get weapon skins as rewards and tbh all of them are ugly. All in all a very enjoyable game. 8.5-9/10 (Need to sit on it and digest it a bit more before I give it a final rating, but I'm gonna update this part.

Not a fan of the announcement of the second game before the first game has been fully fleshed out and complete.

the game just launched and they already announced a sequel lmfao
