Deadzone: Rogue, a fast-paced roguelite first-person shooter, has officially launched into Early Access on Steam and the reception has been electric.

With over 200,000 wishlists, a Top 10 Global Seller debut, and over 100,000 players in the first week, Deadzone: Rogue has made a powerful entrance into Early Access. Steam reviews remain “Very Positive”, with praise for its tight gunplay, progression, and intense co-op.

Set aboard a derelict spaceship overrun by rogue AI and biomechanical enemies, Deadzone: Rogue blends the adrenaline of modern FPS games with the replayability and progression of a roguelite. Players fight through hordes of enemies, collect powerful gear, and grow stronger with each run tackling missions solo or up to 3 players in co-op.

Early Access includes Zones 1 and 2, offering hours of content across different sectors of the spaceship through missions. Players will face dozens of unique enemy types, challenging boss fights, and fast-paced firefights that tell the story of the game and offer unique rewards. With 30+ weapons and a massive library of items, perks, and augments, no two loadouts or playthroughs ever feel the same.
