Comedic rogue-lite Deadly Days heading to Switch

The over-the-top 8-bit-style zombie shooter Deadly Days is coming to Switch, publisher Assemble Entertainment and developer Pixelsplit Games announced today. It will launch later this summer.

We have the following overview and trailer for Deadly Days:

– And three bosses who must be vanquished at the end

– Lovingly crafted pixel art
– Integrated twitch features – viewers become survivors and decide which mission should be taken on next

Use what you find
For every attempt to save the world, you need to find the best combination of objects, special abilities, and weapons. You must use what you get. Endless airstrikes or an army of rats? There are many paths to Rome, but you decide.

Search cities and conquer buildings
The cities are created procedurally, allowing for endless combinations. Plunder the cities as quickly as possible, otherwise an exploding zombie might blast you to pieces, or a zombie on steroids might stomp you to dust. Be careful! Very dangerous hordes of zombies await in the night.

What happened?
Shortly before the aplocalypse begins, the fast-food chain MKing brings out a new burger. The meat includes a secret, addictive ingredient to increase profits. The plan works. Over time, however, the drug, leads to the shutting down of all areas of the brain except for the need for fresh meat. Lots of meat! If that’s not bad enough, the disease also prevents consumers from dying a natural death – violent means are the only option

Deadly Days will be sold digitally for Switch via the eShop.
