Dead Reckoning is a 2D pixel action game that mixes old-school, boss-focused side-scrolling with fast, modern dash combat. Play a retired, reluctant warrior fighting through a dark cyber-fantasy world to recover a stolen artifact and uncover its hidden secret.
A RETIRED WARRIOR. A STOLEN ARTEFACT. A LOT OF PEOPLE IN ROBES.
He was done with all this. Then a secretive cult stole the artefact he spent years guarding, and now he has to get it back. Dead Reckoning is a side-scrolling action game in the spirit of the old arcade and console classics like Ninja Gaiden or Shinobi. One warrior, tough bosses, and combat that rewards sharp reflexes, with the speed and fluidity of a modern action game.
COMBAT
Dash through attacks with full invincibility frames, swap between sword and spear on the fly, and charge your strikes for heavy hits. Land enough hits to build your special meter and unleash a powerful blast. Fights are deliberately built, so every enemy matters.
BOSSES
Every boss has its own rules. Learn their tells, punish their openings, and survive the ones that punish you back. Difficulty comes from reading the fight, not from stat checks.
A WORLD WORTH FIGHTING THROUGH
Fight through a dark cyber-fantasy world, pursuing a cult whose work gets more unsettling the deeper you go.
