Deadlocked

About

Deadlocked throws you into a gritty sci-fi shooter where hordes of flaming space zombies stalk crumbling futurescapes. Wield an arsenal of clunky retro firearms as you pick your way through corridors choked with alien debris and malfunctioning tech. The gameplay leans into straightforward gunplay with just enough environmental hazards to keep things chaotic. The real hook is the weirdness. These aren't your average undead, they wear torn astronaut gear, burst into flames mid-lunge, and collapse into smoldering heaps when you land a headshot. While the 2016 release date means it’s showing its age visually, the no-frills action and absurd enemy designs keep it memorable. A small but vocal group of fans still circle back for the frenetic pacing and retro charm.
