Hopoo Games, best known for their work on indie hit Risk of Rain, have released the first official gameplay trailer their next title – a stealth/action hybrid platformer called Deadbolt that casts you as the Grim Reaper and has you fighting vampires and zombies as you bring these lost souls back to the afterlife.
As the trailer proves, the Grim Reaper doesn’t just rely on a sharp scythe anymore, as he now has plenty of guns to use as well. This all contributes to make Deadbolt a very gory game, something the developers are obviously shooting for:
- Play and complete missions given to you by the mysterious fireplace as you become the avatar of death. While the reaper has an impressive arsenal and skillset to kill the undead, he has one flaw – he dies in one shot… leaving you with no room for error.
- Key Features:
• Complete over 30 extremely challenging missions
• Unlock and obtain over 30 weapons, ranging from a reaper’s scythe to an automatic grenade launcher
• Fight over 35 enemy types, ranging from zombies to vampires to bosses and more
• Choose your playstyle: quiet assassin, loud one-man army, or anything in between
• Gib them all! DEADBOLT’s dynamic gore system guarantees that all evisceration leads to satisfaction
• Choose your own way to complete a mission – no mission has to be completed in one way
• Accomplish a variety of objectives, like assassinating gang leaders and investigating mysteries
Deadbolt is being planned for a Q1 2016 release, and you can keep up to date on its development through its Steam page, its official twitter, or their Indie DB site.
