Evaluation

Deadly Days launched its full 1.0 release on September 19, 2019 and received a series of feature updates through mid-2020 (the last being Update 1.5 in June 2020). After a quiet period, the developer released Update 1.7 on October 28, 2024, adding a new character and various improvements — the most recent content update to the original game. Since mid-2024, the developer's attention has clearly shifted toward a separate spin-off title, Deadly Days: Roadtrip, which was announced in July 2024, went through four public playtests, and launched into its own Early Access on September 22, 2025. All news posts from August 2024 onward relate exclusively to Roadtrip, not to the original Deadly Days. The original Deadly Days has no unreleased DLC, no announced upcoming content, no roadmap, and no developer statements indicating further updates are planned. With Update 1.7 (October 28, 2024) being the last substantive addition and the developer's focus now on a successor title, the original game appears to have reached the end of its content lifecycle. There are no signals pointing to future updates for this game.

  • Integrated twitch features – viewers become survivors and decide which mission should be taken on next

Use what you find

For every attempt to save the world, you need to find the best combination of objects, special abilities, and weapons. You must use what you get. Endless airstrikes or an army of rats? There are many paths to Rome, but you decide.

Search cities and conquer buildings

The cities are created procedurally, allowing for endless combinations. Plunder the cities as quickly as possible, otherwise an exploding zombie might blast you to pieces, or a zombie on steroids might stomp you to dust. Be careful! Very dangerous hordes of zombies await in the night.

What happened?

Shortly before the aplocalypse begins, the fast-food chain MKing brings out a new burger. The meat includes a secret, addictive ingredient to increase profits. The plan works. Over time, however, the drug, leads to the shutting down of all areas of the brain except for the need for fresh meat. Lots of meat! If that's not bad enough, the disease also prevents consumers from dying a natural death – violent means are the only option

New with the 1.5 - Fly me to the moon update:

  • Expand your base by building various rooms like a greenhouse or a mechanic room and craft crazy, unique weapons!
