Deadly Days: Roadtrip was sent to me by the fine folks at Pixelsplit Games, which is always appreciated. This rougelike has a very basic premise that is simple to get behind. Take your yellow school bus to each level, kill zombies while you collect loot, and gather enough fuel to make it to the next area. Rinse and repeat.
The concept being simple doesn’t mean the game is simple, however, as there are plenty of things that can go wrong. You have a radar that will guide you to where the treasure is, and while most zombies can be killed with one or two shots from most guns, there are plenty of more powerful zombies. My favorite is the football player zombie that charges at you.
The graphics are cute and, as you can imagine, are simple pixel graphics that really set the tone well. The controls are simple; you move the same way you do in most PC games, and the character shoots automatically. You do have the option to use the mouse to click on zombies or items you want to shoot at, specifically. This is a nice touch for when a special zombie or crate shows up and you want to target that first.
Each run gets a bit easier as you collect power-ups in between runs. These are bought with special items and are permanent. These allow for deeper runs and make collecting more items easier. It makes for a satisfying game loop. With a price point of $15, very positive reviews (450 total reviews), it’s hard to argue with this being worth the money. A solid 7/10 early access title. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
