Our take on Dead Sky
Its defining structure is the combination of top-down shooting and objective defense: survival depends on fighting undead attackers while placing turrets, traps, and barricades.
What is Dead Sky?
Dead Sky is a top-down survival shooter set during a mysterious outbreak.
Players fight through contaminated areas while defending objectives and staying alive. The game combines shooting with tower-defense planning through turrets, traps, barricades, upgrades, weapons, and randomly dropped power-ups. Enemy groups and boss encounters are randomly generated, while different enemy abilities and attack combinations vary the combat. Several environments present their own challenges.
