How it feels

A frantic first-person shooter where you mow down zombie hordes in a dark, sci-fi spaceship setting.

What players say

Players say Dead Effect is a mobile game ported to PC, so it carries that legacy with clunky menus and low-budget graphics. The campaign is short at around 3–4 hours, but grinding for upgrades and dealing with a painfully slow reload mechanic can make it feel longer. Reviews are split: some enjoy it as nostalgic B-movie trash, while others find it bland and frustrating.
