Deadlink
Get ready to put a sizable dent in the profits of megacorporations in Deadlink, a guns-blazing cyberpunk FPS with roguelite elements. Your mission is to conduct covert ops while piloting a humanoid combat shell. And no, "covert" doesn’t mean "quiet."

“I mean it"s alraight, if you like Doom like games, but this one is also roguelike, so when you die you start from begining. I like cyberpunk details, so 6.5/10 rating from me, buy this game on sale!”
— a player, Steam review · 2 hrs played“A simple and easy roguelite you can play for a bit and feel like it's closed once you finish the achievements. Biggest negative of the game however has to be the feeling of sameness of each run, which is the reason for never feeling like starting up the game again after fully…”
