Grab your favorite gamer friends and get ready for some side-scroller shooter mayhem as you can dive into the new free-to-play early access of Dead Cide Club! Developed by Press.A, this game has been through its early beta’s and playtests where it has evolved through user feedback and improved game systems. In addition to enhanced weapon balancing and control, the game added Cartels and a perk system to make gameplay more exciting, and introduced core features such as "Domination Mode" and "Horde Mode."

This game boldly breaks away from the first-person shooter (FPS) genre with a unique, side-scrolling interpretation of fast-paced, fluid, and fun gunplay. While in Early Access, players can experience this snappy multi-action PvP and PvE brawl through these modes:

• Battle Royal Trio: a survival game where three players team up to become the last survivor,

• Domination: a 5v5 match that requires cooperative play to dominate three specific areas,

• Horde Mode: a PvE mode where three players fight against a flood of monsters,

• God Mode: which allows players to participate in battle royale showdowns, will be available at a later date.

There are currently seven Cartels, including Gangsters, Nerds, Prisoners, Agents, Psychopaths, Hipsters, and Soldiers, and a perk system adds to the fun of unlocking new perks and whipping up lunatic strategies. Each of the seven cartels has distinct passive skills, and players can create cartel-specific skill trees through the perk system. As players level up, unique skills and perks are unlocked, allowing them to freely build their own meticulous strategic meta, such as enhancing specific stats or weapons.

Dead Cide Club is available now for free on Steam’s Early Access. It is planned to launch in full on both PC and PlayStation 5 in the future, but no specific date has been stated yet. Will you be trying out this fast-paced side-scroller action game while it is free?
