Deadly Days Loot fast, survive the horde

Lead survivors through a zombie outbreak, racing the clock to grab supplies and turning everyday objects into absurd weapons.

Is Deadly Days worth it?

Deadly Days is worth it if…

  • you like roguelites where luck shapes the run but smart choices still win it
  • you prefer managing a crew over twitch aiming, with just enough shooting to keep you busy
  • you enjoy short, frantic sessions that turn into one more go, then one more after that
  • you want your zombie apocalypse with pixel art and a sense of humour
  • you don't mind losing a run to bad luck now and then

Loot the city before nightfall

Each day you pick one of three missions and send your survivors into a procedurally generated city. Supermarkets hold food, hardware stores hold scrap, hospitals hold abilities, burger joints hold map pieces. The catch: daylight is short, and once night falls the hordes come out in force. You decide what is worth the trip and what to leave behind. Sometimes the smart move is to shoot an oil drum from a distance instead of walking past it. The pace stays frantic: every run is a race against the clock, and the timer is what makes each decision sting.

Build a run out of absurd parts

Every attempt to save the world is a fresh puzzle of what you find. Over 60 objects (toothpaste included), more than 30 special abilities and 25-plus weapon types with randomly generated modifications mean no two runs play alike. One run might lean on endless airstrikes, another on an army of rats. Your survivors shoot on their own while you steer them, call in air support and fire abilities, so the fights feel like directing chaos rather than aiming it. When a plan comes together, it really comes together.

A base, a crew and a burger conspiracy

The apocalypse started because the MKing fast-food chain put a secret addictive ingredient in a new burger. Now you gather survivors, over 55 of them, each with their own ability, and grow a base with rooms like a greenhouse or a mechanic room where you craft unique weapons. Between runs you unlock new survivors, objects and weapons across three specialties. The goal: collect four map pieces from burger restaurants, storm the factory and take down the bosses. Or, if you plan it right, build a rocket and leave the planet to its fate.

Can you play it solo?

Can you play it solo?

Yes, it is a singleplayer game through and through. You direct a whole group of survivors on your own, deciding where they go, what they loot and which abilities you fire to back them up. There is also integrated Twitch support, where viewers can join your crew and vote on which mission comes next, but that is optional. On your own, every choice from mission selection to the final boss fight is yours.

How long does a run take?

A run is built from short daily missions, each one a quick dash through a city before night falls. You keep going until you either collect four map pieces, storm the burger factory and beat the bosses, or lose your crew. Sessions stay short, which is exactly what makes it hard to stop after just one mission. Difficulty rises the longer you drag things out, so there is a real reason to push for the ending rather than farm forever.

Is it too hard for a beginner?

It has a real learning curve, and the first run or two can feel overwhelming: the days are short, food is tight and the randomizer does not care about your plans. But the game is fair about it. Every attempt, win or lose, earns points that level up your three specialties and unlock new survivors, weapons, objects and abilities. Most people find their footing after a few runs, and the difficulty settings let you pick a pace that suits you.
