Deadzone: Rogue

Fun alone, exelent with friends!

little late on this as the dev team gets ready to unleash their second game but the devs deserve it. this is coming from some one who dumbed a good amount of time on there public playtest for upcoming second game. which mind you will continue exactly where this game left off at story wise. game play combines both fast paced and quick room clearing with a hint of strategy as you enter each room. what i mean is every room you start in stealth mode. you can freely move around and scout out the room and plan where your ganna start. sometimes choosing the wrong spot can lead to an early end. I like that some of the more OP weapons in the game require time to finish certain missions to unlock. these missions double as a chance to learn the weapon and or the buff so that you know what it looks like and feels like when you use it in general content. with how strong these weapons are they come with draw backs that do balance em out progress in the game is a little off just to me. essentially you earn a series of currency and blueprints that you feed into upgrades eventually being able to unlock everything with no limits meaning every player is ganna enter a match with the same stats. a little boring but the upcoming dead zone rouge 2 fixes this with a much better progression system so i wont say much on this. another little complaint is how suits offer nothing but cosmetics I personally like when rouglite games gives the player some control over a basic build or skill set as we head into each run. but again the upcoming second part of the game fixes this and its a very minor complaint. performance is smooth as warm butter. I have ZERO issues with lagging or stuttering. Iv seen minor frame drops only in long endless runs when build and damage numbers are hitting bonkers levels. by minor i mean maybe 3-5 frames dropping. it plays well controls are really responsive. controller support is spot on. aiming feels great as well as hip fire and movement feels fantastic all and all for 25$ its a game well worth the price. and if the second game has caught your attention then def pick this up as well. if nothing else to support a dev team who is capable of putting out a demo designed to test limits with game play just as smooth as a fully finished product
