DeadCore is a first-person arcade game by the 5 Bits Games team, which combines elements of a shooter and a platformer. The player's task is to reach the very top of a powerful tower consisting of structures drifting in the air. Along the way, we fight opponents, solve puzzles and use stunts to reach seemingly inaccessible places.

DeadCore is a platformer-FPS developped by 6 friends from France known as Studio 5 Bits Games.

Story:

You wake up after a long fall through magnetic storms to find yourself facing a gigantic Tower standing in the middle of the void.

You don’t know who you are or where you are but soon cryptic messages start flaoting around you: you understand that you have to find way to climb the Tower, and you have to hurry.

So begins your journey to the top, a journey that will eventually allow you to solve the mystery surrounding this strange and abstract world...

Gameplay:

Your objective is to climb a gigantic Tower: on your way to the top you will have to fight robots guarding the Tower but also to handle tricky platforming sequences, sometimes both simultaneously.

Hopefully you are equipped with the 'Switch Gun', a special weapon allowing you to activate or deactivate temporarily most of the Tower elements, like robots for example.

Sometimes you’ll have to find the right things to activate/deactivate and the right order to do so in order to solve environmental puzzles.

During your progression you will find power-ups that will grant you new abilities, like a powerful ‘Dash’ allowing you to reach new places and to play differently the levels.

There are also other types of collectibles to be found to unlock new contents: narrative logs, new maps, new music tracks...
