Evaluation

Starsiege: Deadzone entered Steam Early Access on July 18, 2023 as a multiplayer extraction shooter. The game received active development through the summer and fall of 2023, including a Season 1 launch on August 1, 2023, and several major patches reworking gameplay systems. In September 2023, the developer announced plans to split the game into two titles — Starsiege: Deadzone (focused on PvP) and a new game called Starsiege: Raiders (focused on extraction gameplay) — reflecting serious design challenges balancing both modes. On February 14, 2024, Prophecy Games announced they would be temporarily retiring the store page for Starsiege: Deadzone, though they stated at that time they planned to maintain servers. Then, on April 18, 2024, the developer posted a formal server discontinuance notice, citing declining player population and a poor user experience. The post acknowledged the game "in its current state is no longer able to contribute" to their goals, and expressed only a vague hope to "revisit it in the future." The game is no longer available for purchase — there are no active purchase options on the store. This confirms it has been removed from sale. The servers have been shut down, and as of July 23, 2026, there has been no further communication from Prophecy Games since the April 18, 2024 server discontinuance post.

About this game

Starsiege: Deadzone is a multiplayer corridor extraction shooter set in a dark sci-fi universe where humanity is on the brink of extinction. As space mercenaries, known as Raiders, players will team up with two others to explore the derelict stations taken over by sentient AI. As a Raider, your goal is to extract valuable weapons and resources for your faction. Players will prepare themselves before venturing into procedurally generated ships; making each match unique. Customize your loadout and select from many abilities and perks providing your own unique playstyle. Work alone or together to overcome the ship's deadly traps, defenses, and other Raiders in order to escape.

Key Features

Tactical PVP Combat: Use a variety of discovered weapons and equipment to take out other Raiders and survive each mission. Select & customize your loadouts to best suit you and your team.
Procedurally Generated Ships: Each mission is a unique experience with a different layout to explore. The space stations are filled with deadly traps, defenses, and rival Raiders.
Hardcore Gameplay: Face a variety of dangerous enemies in each room, and be ready to retreat and find another path if necessary. With limited respawns every decision matters.
Dynamic Light & Darkness: Shoot out lights to create darkness and ambush enemies. Use your flashlight to prospect the ship’s darkest corners. The use of light and darkness is critical to your success or demise in The Deadzone.
High-Stakes Extraction: The ship is crumbling and time is running out. Find valuable resources and escape pods before it's too late, but beware - there are only enough escape pods for half of the players in each match. If you don't make it out, you'll lose everything.
