About

DEADBOLT, made by the same developers of Risk of Rain, is an extremely challenging stealth-action hybrid that allows you to take control of the reaper to quell the recent undead uprising. Play and complete missions given to you by the mysterious fireplace as you become the avatar of death. While the reaper has an impressive arsenal and skillset to kill the undead, he has one flaw - he dies in one shot... leaving you with no room for error.

Throughout my time with Deadbolt, I may have struggled with certain segments and a few nasty shootouts, but it's hard for me to pinpoint a time I was actually upset with the game. It achieves that perfect balance of punishment and reward. A game that constantly knocks you down, but it's just such a blast that it keeps you wanting to get back up and give it another shot.

But between the clever level layouts, exciting gunplay, expressive sprite art and animations, and some chill grooves by composer Chris Christodoulou, I was hooked. By the end of Deadbolt, I wasn't nearly ready to leave. The game felt like it was just starting to become truly great.

Great indie shooter
An excellent little shooter that is well worth its $10 price tag. The weapons feel weighty, the environment can be used to your advantage, and the later levels are a proper challenge to get done perfectly. Definitely recommend this game for people who like fast-paced shooter games like Hotline Miami or Katana Zero.
