Dead End City tells the story of a civilization that has fallen; the few remaining survivors are now living in the shadow of a gang of post-apocalyptic punks called Scorpio. Your oasis was raided, and your loved ones carried off to Scorpio's main stronghold. With nothing left to lose, you head out onto the open road, armed to the teeth and ready to fight through their territory to bring an end to their reign.

 
Dead End City is a vertical shooter bringing back fond memories of classic games such as Spy Hunter® and Galaga®. Fans of action-packed games will embrace the fast-paced fun rendered in a modern contemporary environment. To survive the game, you must maintain a steady fuel level as you drive and shoot your way through the 5 occupied territories of Scorpio: tear through their ranks with bullets, fire, lasers and more using 5 unlockable vehicles, each with their own unique playstyle. Hone your skills and your score as you liberate the world from the oppressive hand of Scorpio.

 
Are you ready to relive the thrill of ’90s arcade classics in top-down shoot’em up style?!?
