About Dead Exodus

GOT FRIENDS? TONS OF WAYS TO PLAY

Featuring Steam invites, lobbies with and without codes, password-protection, invite-only mode, and more, there are many way to enjoy playing with your friends.

2 TO 16-PLAYER CO-OP

The lobbies only get better as player count increases.

Play strikes featuring PvE Co-Op up to 4 players, or engage in raids (coming soon!) featuring 16-player caps!

SOLO? NO PROBLEM

Balanced for solo play, the style and looting system is reminiscent of some of the best systems of gaming past, and you'll have your character crushing matches, even running solo.

NO CLASSES, NO SWIM LANES

All playable perks, weapons, armors, skills, and upgrade paths are open to all players right from the start.

Pick your playstyle, and build it out how you like.

Bowmen with healing affinities and skills? Supported. Tank who specializes in absorbing damage while downing ale? Encouraged.

Skill points, affixes on loot, synergies, and more - it all makes your character stronger.

HILARIOUS INTERACTIONS WITH FRIENDS

Get drunk and you can't tell the difference between friend or foe.

Throw your friends to create AOE attacks.

Combo together and see synergistic gameplay get rewarded.

PERMANENT PROGRESSION

Your character levels permanently across all play types, and keeps all gear.

Use your progression to upgrade other aspects of the game, including a (coming soon!) blacksmith mode, where you can build and upgrade gear to share with your friends!
