Dead Island: Retro Revenge

 
Dead Island: Retro Revenge spins the blockbuster zombie franchise into a wild, side-scrolling brawler brimming with nostalgic style and arcade punch. Developed by Empty Clip Studios and published by Deep Silver, this pixel-packed adventure swaps open-world survival for speedy, lane-based action. You play as Max, a laid-back dude whose cat is kidnapped in the middle of the zombie apocalypse, forcing him to carve, kick, and combo his way across a ruined California. Along the way, you’ll face swarms of zombies, crazed convicts, and rogue soldiers, all hellbent on stopping your rescue mission.
Pixel Mayhem: Gameplay, Power-ups & Combo Mania

Battle your way through brightly animated, auto-scrolling levels. You shift up and down between three lanes, dodging attacks and timing strikes. The game is easy to pick up but rapid combos and boss fights demand skill as the difficulty ramps up.
Chain together punches, kicks, and magic strikes to rack up points and pull off brutal finishers. High scores depend on keeping your combo going–the better you play, the bigger the rewards.
Find crazy power-ups and super weapons, including magic attacks and environmental hazards. Each level lets you unleash wild new tricks and rack up bonus points while throwing everything but the kitchen sink at your foes.
Old-school chiptune music, witty writing, and tongue-in-cheek references keep the fun rolling with pixel art charm and fast-paced action.
