Marvelous Announces New Survival Action Game Deadcraft

Developer First Studio and publisher marvelous will be releasing a new survival action RPG title called Deadcraft, and it’s looking rather unique.

The gameplay trailer below features dudes with giant mutant hands, crafting, and loads of zombie killing. As half-human half zombie hero Reid, you slice through the undead army (and more) in your quest for righteous vengeance. This game is from the same folks who gave us Daemon X Machina, so you can expect some over-the-top action, this time in a zombie-filled post apocalypse.

The game’s key features are as such:

• Farm the Dead to Stay Alive – Plant fresh corpses (or just a combination of limbs) into the ground and give them a little TLC until they sprout into an undead army of infantry, sentries, and more!
• Creeptastic Crafting – Surviving the apocalypse sometimes means using whatever scraps one can find to make new weapons. Other times it means enlisting a loyal undead to assist in building and running an entire factory of grotesque machinery churning out an unholy amalgamation of survival items.
• Death-Defying Powers of the Undead ? Reid’s zombie side gives him a powerful advantage in a fight, allowing him to shield himself from danger or swat enemies away like annoying gnats. But as each devoured enemy pushes him closer to his zombie side, he’ll have to take care to maintain what little humanity he has left.
• Become a Savior…or a Scourge ? Help out other survivors to learn new recipes or abilities. But if Reid’s hard up for money or supplies, shake down a local and take it off them… as long as he doesn’t mind potentially becoming a wanted man.

Deadcraft will be out on 29 May for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. A demo is available now on all platforms.
