13 itemsAbout the Game
DeadWire lets you hack enemies and objects to create chain reactions and multi-kills. Play slow and tactical, or go in guns blazing with no ragrets. Your choice.
Chain Reaction Carnage
In the high-tech world of DeadWire, you can hack enemies and link them to each other and nearby objects, causing deadly chain reactions that turn the environment into a weapon.
Mix fast shooting, power-ups, and a unique hacking (ReWire) ability to help you defeat enemies and complete your mission. Use the hack view to spot opportunities, plan your approach, or dive in guns blazing. And if things go wrong, restart and try a new strategy
Features
30+ levels and 80+ side objectives - Hours of handcrafted missions built for challenge and replayability. Unlock cheats, weapons, and modifiers as you complete side objectives.
Hack the World - Almost everything can be linked. Chain enemies together, overload cars, toggle lasers, and more.
Weapons on Weapons - Pistols, smart rifles, shotguns, railguns, cyber grenades and more. Mix hacking with firepower for maximum chaos.
Side-Objectives, Time Trials and Score Mode - Creative solutions are rewarded! Beat time trials, finish side objectives, and chase high scores.
Epic Electronic Soundtrack - Dirty basslines and heavy drums bring the cyberpunk city to life.
So to sum it all up:
Deadwire is designed to challenge (but it's not impossible)
Use weapons and your hacking ability to turn the odds in your favor
Gameplay is a mix of fast shooting and slower combat puzzles
There is a story but it's not story driven
Replayability through side objectives, time trials and score mode
