Press Quotes
“A great little roguelike shooter with fast paced gameplay, a fun premise and fantastic pixel art animation. A freaky monster-filled house well entering for a bit of spooky shooter fun.” Alpha Beta Gamer “Dead Estate offers something other roguelikes often have a hard time offering: A challenge every time. The same thing is expected of you on the first run as what’s expected of you in your most current run: Get good.” DreadXP
