DEADBOLT

Game Overview

DEADBOLT combines tactical planning with lightning-fast execution in a side-scrolling action format. As the Reaper, players take on missions to dismantle four distinct undead factions: drug-dealing Zombies, night-clubbing Vampires, gangland Spirits, and religious Skeleton cultists.

The core gameplay demands extreme precision because both the Reaper and his enemies die from a single hit. Players approach each multi-floor building as a tactical combat puzzle, breaching doors, turning off light switches, shooting out light fixtures, and using ventilation ducts for stealth movement. The Reaper can briefly turn into smoke to travel through pipes and floor vents, emerging silently behind unsuspecting enemies for suppressed executions.

Between missions, players spend earned soul currency in the Black Market to purchase an extensive arsenal—including silenced pistols, double-barreled shotguns, crossbows, automatic rifles, and grenade launchers. Tailored for portable play, DEADBOLT features short stages, instant retries, responsive physical controls, and precise dual-analog aiming on the PS Vita.
