Gameplay

With its pixelated visuals and fast-paced gameplay, it captures the essence of classic arcade shooters while adding its own modern twists.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
67 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It goes without saying that, as far as shooter RPGs of the sorts goes, Dead Pixels does do a good job in keeping one entertained in that department, plus the bonus of co-op is always welcomed for those who want to share the experience with an eager zombies fan alike!
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
50 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I found once you maxed out the melee skill, you can cake walk the entire game without having to shoot one bullet.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
All the graphics look great and all feel like they belong in the game, and fit in very well.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Real fun though be warned you need fast reflexes and nimble fingers (and luck) to complete the game on the Hardest difficulty setting.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Dead Pixels has a good amount of content with a story and survival mode, that is fairly challenging and is surprisingly addictive.
