About the Game

DeadCore Redux is a FPS-Platformer that blends exploration and speedrunning.
It will challenge your platforming skills and your precision as you explore a futuristic megastructure built around a gigantic Tower. Explore hidden paths full of danger, find the original Sparks and maybe you will end the current Cycle.

Ascend the Tower

After an endless fall through powerful magnetic storms... you awaken.

Your memory erased, you start exploring the world around you until you spot the most gigantic Tower emerging from the mists.

Deep inside, you know the only way to get answers is to reach its Summit.

Unleash your abilities

Use your SwitchGun to activate or deactivate complex mechanisms and the numerous patrolling entities.

Find upgrades to improve its powers and unlock new moves - like the Dash - allowing you to take new shortcuts and explore new areas of the Tower.
