Is it already that time of the week when Eastasisoft announce another title? The weeks are flying by, but hey – we get to play new games, and when they look as nostalgic as Dead End City, I’m down!

You’ll undoubtedly have a better comparison than this one, as I’m going with my gut. To me, this looks like SWIV meets Spyhunter (ask your grandad), and that’s a good thing. Plotwise, it’s the apocalypse, and some Fist of the North Star-type punks called Scorpio have kidnapped your loved ones. Time for some top-down shootin‘.

Key features in Dead End City include:

  • Take the wheel and drive hard in vertical shoot ’em up action!
  • Select from 5 heavily armed vehicles, each with a unique driver and shot type.
  • Collect fuel to keep moving and survive deadly post-apocalyptic roadways!
  • Top off your gas tank for a boost in firepower and bonus score multipliers.
  • Enjoy retro pixel art aesthetics inspired by arcade classics of the ’90s!

What the retro goodness below:

The Dead End City release date is set for the 28th of February 2024 and will be for the PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch priced at US $14.99/€14.99.
