Radiation Blue and Snail Games USA are joining the co-op party crowd for horror gamers with Dead Party, their four-player zombie action title that just had its demo launch on Steam. The demo gives players (and their friends) their first hands-on opportunity to experience the game’s chaotic blend of co-op action, base defense, improvised traps, and “rock-powered” zombie destruction.
Set in the once-peaceful town of Shady Hill, Dead Party kicks off with UFOs suddenly appearing overhead on Halloween. Soon, the neighborhood’s dead rise from their graves, leaving four unlikely heroes (aka you and your friends) to defend humanity from an invasion that is as bizarre as it is relentless.
Rather than simply mowing down zombies, players must scavenge their surroundings, break objects for resources, build barricades, deploy traps, and adapt their defenses as the horde closes in. Different zombie types and map layouts force teams to rethink their strategy and make the most of whatever they can find.
And when things get desperate, there’s one weapon the undead can’t handle: Rock music. Players can harness the power of their guitars and music-based abilities to push back the zombie hordes, adding an unconventional twist to the game’s frantic combat.
In addition to a Story Mode, Dead Party will feature four distinct modes upon launch, including:
Stage Equipment – Use stage equipment and the power of music to defend against the undead.
Antenna – Power generators and unleash jamming radio waves against the invading forces.
Skull Cannon – Collect zombie skulls and use them to take down UFOs.
Horde – Never mind escaping. See how long your team can survive before the zombies overwhelm you.
