You are an operative in the experimental Deadlink project, piloting an autonomous combat shell on missions against powerful corporations. Each run sends you through hostile arenas in slums, labs, warehouses and office buildings.
Fight while dashing, jumping and using shell-specific abilities, weapons and melee attacks. Marked enemy kills can restore armor, while destroying floating ammo objects replenishes your limited-use secondary weapon. Keep moving and use the arena to handle outnumbering enemies.
Choose among four combat shells with distinct weapons and abilities. Encounters and rewards vary between runs, and upgrades found along the way can shape a run around different effects and playstyles. After a run, spend earned resources on permanent upgrades before heading back into the arenas.
Players who enjoy Deadlink often praise its responsive gunplay and fast movement, especially the way combat encourages constant use of weapons and abilities. Reviews also highlight the distinct combat shells, satisfying upgrade combinations, and cyberpunk presentation and soundtrack. Some players find the runs repetitive or the progression and difficulty frustrating.
