About Deadstone

Did you know?


Our second game, Vigilantes, a crime themed turn based tactical RPG is available on Steam!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/545600/Vigilantes/

A Planet Under Siege


Mars is under siege, and the colonists are fighting a losing battle. Assume the role of Blake, a private security operative who crash lands near the colony of Deadstone, following an outbreak on the Icarus space station. Care to guess who just landed the job of sheriff?

To survive, you’ll need to use your combat expertise and lethal firepower to overcome an unrelenting enemy, but to win, you’ll need a strategy. Every time an infected slips through your defensive net, a colonist dies. Can you save the colonists of Deadstone?

Two Distinct Game Modes

Decide the fate of Deadstone’s colonists in the story driven, 50 mission Campaign, or find out just how long death can be cheated in Survival Mode.

Campaign

Deploy defences, choose your weapons and equipment, and get into the fight. Experience nerve wracking battles against the insidious infected threat across 3 mission types: Patrol, Arena, and Colonist Rescue.

Survival

Jump right into the fight with Survival Mode. Build your character, select your load out, and fight it out for the highest score until the bitter end. Death, however, does not spell defeat: it makes you stronger, gaining additional starting resources based on performance.

Bring a Friend

Experience the Campaign and Survival Mode with a pal in local co-op. Note: A control pad is required for co-op play. The Xbox 360 wired controller is officially supported, however most controllers should work.

Play Your Way

Develop the ultimate fighter with the unfortunately acronymed S.C.A.M. system, comprising 4 primary stats (Speed, Constitution, Accuracy, Mechanics), 11 secondary stats, and 70 perks.

Face an Evolving Enemy

Confront 6 different enemies, including the soldier, commander, and the fearsome phase shambler. Contend with an enemy that attacks under the cover of night and dust storm, and even burrows under the surface to ambush you.

Defensive Hardware

Deploy mines and 4 types of turret to create a defensive line. Upgrade your turrets’ stats, and research completely new abilities for them, including the Kinetic Thumper, which releases recoil energy into a shockwave to push infected back.

Tools of the Trade

Spend your hard earned credits expanding your arsenal. Choose from 16 upgradable weapons from 4 classes: pistol, shotgun, automatic, precision, and complement your selection with 6 equipment types, including flares, explosives, and armor.

Twin Tales

Experience two engaging stories, or play without if you’re just here for the action. Choose between a straight up survival narrative and a tongue-in-cheek take on events.

Fight to Win

Compete on online leader boards for the top spot.
Casual to Hardcore: Deadstone has 6 difficulty settings, to accommodate varying levels of skill.

Recommended Dec 14, 2025
Deadstone is an ambitious indie hybrid developed and published by Timeslip Softworks that attempts to fuse several familiar genres into a single, systems-driven experience. At its core, it is a twin-stick shooter, but layered on top of that foundation are tower defense mechanics, light RPG progression, and a narrative framework set against the backdrop of a collapsing Martian colony. Rather than focusing purely on reflex-based shooting, the game asks players to think defensively, manage resources, and gradually shape their character’s capabilities over time, creating an experience that feels more strategic than many games in the same top-down action space. The setting places players on Mars during a biological catastrophe that has turned much of the planet’s life into hostile, infected creatures. You take on the role of Blake, a private security contractor who becomes deeply entangled in the survival of the settlement known as Deadstone. While the overarching story follows recognizable science-fiction beats—corporate secrets, runaway experimentation, and desperate colonists—it is presented with enough structure and context to give purpose to each mission. Dialogue exchanges, brief…

A pretty decent base defense game. Sometimes a man just wants to shoot an incoming horde of zombies, and Deadstone gets the job done.

I bought it to support the dev and gave it a quick try. It's a surprisingly fun little top-down shooter with an interesting storyline. It's a little old school as it's been around for a decade, but it all worked smoothly on my Windows 11 PC. I think bundled with the new game just released, Prometheus Wept, it was around a dollar extra.

Satisfying fight gameplay. combined with many interesting options to develop through perks and weapons. Access to both of them are defined by your character level and stats. Story is nice. Graphics are nothing incredible but they communicate well the information and the mood.

Wow, this is a really good top-down defense shooter! How did I sleep on it for so many years!?
