Deadlock Station

Turn the battlefield to your advantage in this pixelated tactical roguelike with indirect controls. Assemble a squad of customizable heroes to destroy the alien invaders with precise strategic planning. Use resources to upgrade your base between each tactical expedition as you seek to uncover the truth about the Event and the mysterious disappearance of humans.

  • Engage in Automated Battles: Positioning is key: the outcome of the battle is decided by your pre-battle setup, characters' abilities, and your orders.
  • Use the Environment: Turn the battlefield to your advantage: construct spike walls, establish choke points in city ruins, bait enemies into traps, and push them on hazards or land mines. Who said that's not fair?
  • Assemble Your Squad: Command a diverse team of characters, learn how to use their abilities and battle stances, and enhance them with powerful implants and gear, such as Energy Shields and Time Weapons.
  • Learn Your Enemy: Defend against the deadly Ravagers, outsmart the Renegades, and hunt dangerous aliens for loot and glory. Various enemies, terrains, and battle objectives require you to adapt on the fly.
  • Develop Your Base: Unlock new items, characters, and factions to interact with – from the ruthless Order to the all-knowing PFS. The possibilities for experimentation and creating synergies are limitless: two expeditions won't ever feel identical.
