Overview

About this game

DEADWAVE is a classic stylized third-person zombie shooter with Ancient themed maps. Built by a solo indie developer, it drops you into striking locations from Egyptian sands to crumbling temples, where every fight turns into a desperate, chaotic last stand.

🧟 Arcade Zombie Mode

The heart of DEADWAVE is the zombie game mode. You can play alone or with your friends to survive better and progress easier. DEADWAVE features: 

  • Fight the Swarm: Face unique zombie types (Skeleton, Necromancers, Spiders, etc) with ever increasing in number and intensity. 

  • Earn & Upgrade: Earn credits by killing Zombies to and upgrade armor and health at stations to stay in the fight or buy a vaccine (if cannot find one)

  • Buy Weapons or Wait to unlock: Buy powerful and satisfying weapons or wait for them to unlock at the designated round. Choice is yours how you manage your money. 

  • Kill Streaks and Drops: Score rare drops and wipe the screen with killstreaks such as air strikes, and a nuke.

  • Progress: Progress to level up and play larger maps and longer fights. 

🤝 Co-op Zombie Mode

Don't face the horde alone. Team up with friends and tackle the waves together — coordinate your credits, cover each other's backs, and survive longer as a team.

  • Share the Chaos: More players means more zombies — the swarm scales with your squad for a bigger, wilder fight.

  • Coordinate Resources: Split roles between your team — one buys weapons while another upgrades armor — smart teamwork wins rounds.

  • Better Together: Revive fallen teammates and push further than you ever could alone.

🔫 Characters, Weapons, and Style

Choose from a distinct cast of characters, then gear up with a heavy-hitting arsenal—from tactical pistols and SMGs to shotguns and rocket launchers—built for fast, arcade-style action.

Welcome to DEADWAVE, Hope you enjoy it.
