Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want forgiving runs will hit the wall when one death resets the attempt from the beginning.
- Players who prefer deliberate combat may struggle with the requirement to keep running, shooting, and healing throughout a run.
- Players seeking a primarily story-led experience may find the Codex-based lore secondary to the gameplay.
- Players who want a slow-paced shooter may not suit the game's frantic speed and continuous movement.
Our take on DIMENSIONAL SLAUGHTER
The bounce point arrives at the first failed run: permadeath sends progress back to the beginning, while higher difficulties also drain health over time. Players who cannot sustain movement, targeting, and healing under that pressure may hit the wall quickly.
What is DIMENSIONAL SLAUGHTER?
DIMENSIONAL SLAUGHTER is a retro-styled first-person movement shooter built around relentless speed and combat.
Killing enemies restores health and opens portals to the next level, while enemy weaknesses shape encounters. Movement options include sliding, wall-jumping, groundslams, rocket-jumps, grappling, and other aerial techniques. Each run uses randomized layouts, a non-linear dimension order, and procedural enemy and item waves. Death ends the run permanently and sends the player back to the beginning. Optional upgrades appear in several rarity levels, including an extra-life option. Secret levels, a Codex-based lore system, leaderboards, and speedrun competition are also included.
