A downloadable Dead Clones for Windows

A nervous roguelite platformer set in a gloomy sci-fi dungeon.

Dead Clones Roguelite - Slam, dash and slash

Run, jump and slash your way across dark coridors, slaughter clones, loot what they left behind to challenge CRUSH3R, protector of the dark realm, and start again when he kills you.

Dead Clones is a free fan game with obvious inspirations made with love (and Game Maker Studio) by only me.  Your character awakes in a dark and strange place with no memories. Why he is there is not clear... but he feels the urge to hack'n'slash at everything that moves. Good for him, the cold rooms are filled with agressive clones!


FIGTH3R Release 24 - Early Game Play - Windows only

The game is ready with minimalists content: a linear run across 3 areas, 8 enemies, 10 upgrades, and a boss. A full run should take you 10 minutes but CRUSH3R is a viscious, almost unfair, boss. If you are lucky you'll find usefull upgrades  along the way (faster kunai, longer combo, air dash...) and you might collect enough DNA orbs to improve your body for the next runs.

Dead Clones Roguelite - Upgrades

upgrades alter how you run, jump, dash, slash, climb....


Dodge traps...

Kill clones again and again

How To Play

There is a tutorial but in a nutshell; you can double jump and wall jump, you will need to slide a lot to avoid attacks of all kind and ripost with a 3 hit combo (ground/air), air slam or your lazer kunai. You will need to rebind keys (I advise gamepad) because they are not convenient at all.

Remap gamepad / keyboard / mouse

Try to have your name up the highscores board by completing your run quickly... and without dying. 

Will you challenge enderslash?


Closing words

There are some known bugs and weakness (unpolished boss & stuff, inconsistent audio, missing content) but the project covers the features I was trying to build, so I am not sure how much additional energy I'll put into that. I really hope you will have fun playing it ! Oh.. and beware of trap when rushing in a new room.

Hey, this game is really addictive. You should do more levels, I will be waiting. By the way, I played this game with arrow keys + z,x,c,d,a and that feels just right to me. Hope you will continue your great work!
