About Dead

A game about boss fights.



DEAD is a game all about that blissful, satisfying feeling when you've finally complete a hard boss fight.
That feeling of a well deserved victory as you sit back in your seat and exhale a deep sigh of relief.

DEAD pits you against ten spooky, meaty, angry bosses with tight controls and a banging soundtrack!

You'll die. A lot. And you might end the universe in the process.

Game play


Dead is tough but fair. It is not meant to be impossible and does not rely on cheap "gotcha" moments. With tight controls the greatest challenge will be yourself. Learn the moves, perfect the fight and pummel those bosses until their dead!

Want to heal? Stand still as long as you can!
Need to recharge your dodge? Don't attack!

NG+?


NG+ comes with the ability customize your difficulty in layers.

These modes do not come down to "they have more health now" but will truly test your mettle.

Great for speed running or to experience easy bosses with a fresh coat of hard!

Features

  • A tasty original soundtrack
  • Full controller support
  • "Youtuber" mode which shifts the UI around to allow room for your face or Twitch graphics.
  • Achievements, trading cards, badges and all those extra steamy things

I don't play this genre often. for me it took 1.5hrs in one go but it was fun all the way through. bosses are all very different. definitely super worth it to waste an evening, maybe more to grab the achievements, but as others have said the achievements look VERY difficult.
Recommended Jul 15, 2025
it's a cool lil boss rush game and its nice beating a boss after some trial n error going for achievements tho would prolly make u go insane so i wouldn't recommend doing 100%
Recommended Jul 8, 2025
Pretty good boss beating romp! Very underrated too. One gripe is that i wish it wasn't called "dead", makes it sooooo hard to find when looking it up. [spoiler]Also, easy mode isn't a lie, it makes it easier for them, not for you![/spoiler]

Sekiro cheap: what our price record shows, and what to avoid

Search Sekiro cheap and the results are keyshop listings, not a store discount. Our three-month price record explains the gap, and why so few live offers changes the advice.
