Dead Estate

Dead Estate throws you into a haunted house packed with monsters, grotesque bosses, hidden rooms, and enough weapons to turn every run into complete chaos. Every floor pushes you deeper into the Estate, where surviving means reacting quickly, making the most of whatever loot you uncover, and hoping you’re prepared for whatever is waiting behind the next door.

The horror may be front and center, but Dead Estate never forgets it’s an action game. Combat is fast, aggressive, and deliberately claustrophobic, with compact rooms that leave very little space to breathe. One moment you’ll be weaving through swarms of enemies with a rusty pistol, the next you’ll be carrying an absurd arsenal capable of tearing through entire floors. Combined with a colorful cast of unlockable characters and hundreds of possible item combinations, every climb through the mansion feels a little different.

What Makes It Different?

• Climb a monster-filled mansion inspired by classic Halloween and horror films
• Master 10 playable characters, each with unique abilities and four unlockable costumes
• Discover more than 150 weapons and 300 items that create wildly different builds
• Explore alternate floors, hidden routes, and floor variants packed with secrets
• Face relentless close-quarters combat in tightly designed isometric rooms
• Increase the challenge with looped runs, Blessings, Curses, and 20 custom Challenge Runs
• Play through Assignment Anya, a separate survival horror campaign set before the main story

How It Plays

Dead Estate is built around momentum. Runs move quickly, encouraging you to keep climbing while balancing exploration with survival. Every floor introduces tougher enemies, new weapons, and passive items that can dramatically alter your build, whether you’re boosting raw damage, improving mobility, or creating unusual combinations that completely change how your character plays. Since each of the ten survivors has their own strengths and weaknesses, swapping characters can make the same mansion feel like an entirely new challenge.

The mansion itself is just as important as the combat. Secret rooms, alternate floors, unlockables, and persistent threats reward players who take risks rather than sprinting straight for the exit. Once you’ve conquered a standard run, higher difficulty settings, looped runs, Blessings, Curses, and Challenge Runs offer fresh ways to test your skills, while Assignment Anya provides a completely separate campaign inspired by classic survival horror games.

It’s this combination of relentless action, replayability, and unmistakable horror atmosphere that has helped Dead Estate become one of the standout indie roguelike shooters of recent years. Whether you’re chasing unlocks, experimenting with another bizarre build, or simply trying to survive one more trip through the mansion, there’s always another reason to head back inside.

Good If You Like…

Players who enjoy Enter the Gungeon, Nuclear Throne, Doomsday Hunters, Vampire Hunters, or other action roguelikes that reward quick reflexes, creative weapon builds, and relentless close-quarters combat, should have no trouble settling into the horrors of Dead Estate.
