Our take on Deadlings: Rotten Edition

The game departs from a conventional side-scroller by making a group of differently capable zombie minions the basis for navigation. Progress depends on combining their abilities to cross laboratory mazes, rather than relying on one protagonist’s movement set.

What is Deadlings: Rotten Edition?

Deadlings: Rotten Edition is an arcade side-scroller with strategy elements.

Death builds a laboratory in a factory and trains four types of zombie minions. Each has a distinct ability: Bonesack runs and jumps, Creep climbs walls and ceilings, Lazybrain moves slowly, and Stencher flies using gas clouds. Players combine these abilities to navigate laboratory mazes filled with puzzles and traps across 70 levels. The Rotten Edition adds 10 bonus levels and 15 Nightmare Mode levels. Nightmare Mode is unlocked from the start. The game also includes Steam achievements, leaderboards, Trading Cards, badges, HD graphics, and full controller support.
