Set in an apocalyptic 1986, Deadlight tells the tale of Randall Wayne, an introverted and slightly paranoid survivor trying to rejoin his loved ones in a world torn apart by zombies. From the destroyed streets of Seattle, through the crumbled underbelly of the city’s sewers, and the remnants of a forgotten stadium, you’ll search for the haven known as the ‘safe point’. Through tense platforming and life-threatening zombie encounters, you must choose to use your few bullets to decimate the undead or utilize your surroundings to sneak past them and hide.
Combat isn’t always the answer, especially against those known as ‘shadows’, the walking, undead remains of the human race.
Deadlight Directors Cut is also available on XBox One.
I've learned to appreciate shorter games, packed creativity and emotions. Games that gives me an intense experience during my playthrough. Deadlight: Director's Cut is one of those games.
While some of the big criticisms that people had with the original version of the game still stand, Deadlight: Director's Cut still feels like a fresh take on the zombie genre 4 years later. It probably isn't worth a return trip if you've already played the original game, but if this is your first time checking out the Deadlight world then this version is definitely the one to get.
It’s a shame that Tequila Works didn’t take the time to improve upon the audio delivery or tweak the slightly floaty controls, but with a solid story, a consistently spellbinding art style and mostly impressive level design, Deadlight: Director’s Cut, while largely unchanged, remains as enjoyable today as it did back in 2012.
If you missed out on Deadlight when it was originally released and are into action platformers, I do recommend checking it out. Just be prepared for the frustration to ramp up as the game goes on.
Deadlight looks better than ever and is a great game, but this remastered version does not have much in terms of new content, so it is only recommended for people who have not played the original.
Deadlight is, for the most part, a well-paced game that doesn’t linger very long in any one area or on one activity. It is also a rather short game, clocking in at about five hours, which is rather underwhelming for its price.
If you’re a die-hard fan of Deadlight, then you probably don’t even need to read a review to know whether or not to buy it, you’ll just do it anyway. For everyone else, this is an average game that has been surpassed in the years since it came out. There are far better 2D platformers available. You can give this one a miss.
