Side Scroller Zombie Game... With a good story to Tell!!! This is something that I had failed to play and unfortunately missed during the time of the release back in 2012, and I am sure glad that I had the opportunity to get this and play it. For a game that has this long of a shelf life, and still keeps the plot and the story interesting is something that still sticks out for people wanting to play and going back to re-play. I really enjoy the concept and idea of side scroller games, only if they can keep the plot and the story, making the player on the edge of their seat... This game does exactly that!. The game is obviously a zombie side scroller, taking place where you are trying to find your family, in the very beginning once separated from the group that you start off with in the cut scene. Through out the game you use what you can where you can to fight the zombies on the path that you take, trying finding your family. Uncovering other secrets, and people along the way. As you progress through the story, like any other game you find more abilities to use, ways to use the environment to eliminate zombies and any other enemies that cross your path and dare to harm you. I am really enjoying this game, and will continue to play this and I am glad that I was able to find this gem and pick it up. In my opinion, this is something I will recommend for a good single player side scroller story. And if you like the zombie survival world as well. However, I only recommend this game for a super sale ONLY for the fact that this game has a extended shelf life from day of release.

While very janky at times and sometimes unclear on what to do, this is a pretty good game. It only took me about 3 hours to beat, but they were 3 hours well spent. Randal is, while a bit of an ass, an understandable character who I actually ended up liking by the end. The ending was fantastic, and I genuinely reccomend it to everyone, especially if it is on sale. 7.5/10

One-timer. Pros.: - Intuitive gameplay. - Concept and theme. - Not annoying - fluid. Cons.: - Some poorly designed save points. - Gameplay bugs like inability to proceed several scenes without proper perfect jump performance.

Deadlight is an old school side scrolling game that is both challenging and atmospheric. Those who are simply looking for story with very little in the way of challenge. This game is not for you.

Good job Tequila Works! Really fun side scrolling game, took me 4 hours to complete. Graphics were really good, story-line was decent but the ending could've been better. Controls are sometimes frustrating when jumping off of a wall or jumping straight up, otherwise controls are fine using a controller. I really enjoyed it.
