Deadly Days out on Switch next week

Publisher Assemble Entertainment and developer Pixelsplit Games have set a release date for Deadly Days, an over-the-top 8-bit-style zombie shooter. It’ll be out in just a few days – specifically August 27.

Deadly Days previously carried a vague summer release window on Switch.

Here’s an overview of Deadly Days, along with a trailer:

Deadly Days is a unique strategic rogue-lite in the zombie apocalypse. Manage and protect a group of survivors and help them to stop the catastrophe. Discover and use a large number of wild and crazy objects, even wilder and crazier survivors, special abilities, and deadly weapons.

Features

– 60 crazy objects that make every game unique, including tooth paste
– 30 powerful special abilities that can dramatically alter the outcome of fights
– Three different specialties in which you can activate new abilities, survivors, objects, and types of weapons
– 25 types of weapons with randomly generated modifications
– Procedurally generated cities and missions
– 50 different survivors with 50 different abilities
– More than 10 different types of zombies who want only one thing: brains
– And three bosses who must be vanquished at the end
– Over 45 achievements that need to be unlocked
– 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 arrive on Switch via the eShop next week.
