This game is really great I had a blast playing it all the way through. There's is a nice Weapon trading system that reminds me of Resident Evil 4. You can also play it with a Friend in local co-op mode. I reccomend it. And I'm hoping that Dead Pixels 2 will be at least as good as this.… Expand

That being said I was very surprised at how much I've enjoyed the game. There are 3 game types, 2 are basically a story mode from different perspectives and one is a last stand mode where you see how long you can last while fighting endless waves of zombies. The game randomly generates things like weapon placement and what stores have for sale so you can play the campaigns multiple times and still have an enjoyable experience. The campaigns are not super long but they are enjoyable non the less and the game is very re playable. It has local coop for 2 people and the only reason I ding a point is that this would have been amazing with online coop. I would have gladly spent a few extra bucks to be able to play this without having someone at my house. Even without that though this is a bargain at the price and if you're looking for a several hours worth of fun and you enjoy these retro type games you will love this one.… Expand

With the great art design and a brilliant soundtrack Dead pixels is more than just mindlessly killing zombies.
   
   First let's talk about the Graphics. The graphics are good in many ways, First the nice and big pixels make all the characters look stylish. Not only that but with old film effects and decent lighting effects this Dead Pixels is one game that is a looker
   
   In the Audio Department dead pixels is also I great game, With nice gun sound effects to the depressing music the plays during the shopping sequences. There is a lot of sound designing qualities that make this game just Ear Candy
   
   In the game play mechanics there is some good and some bad. Firstly you can only fire straight in-front of your face... secondly the game is not made that variant is the 10-30+ levels you play. Even though there are 3 episode the game play is still pretty much the same... However the gameplay is fun and ammo management can be quite hectic at times. This game is a good challenge and will test your skills You can even have a friend join in the fray to make the game more action packed.
   
   With a stellar soundtrack and nostalgic pixelated graphics this game is a greatly polished game even with a slight repetition in the game play
   
   I Give this game a 7/10… Expand

   Decent retro game. I like the cheesy B movie aesthetic and the gameplay can be fun for a few hours but that's it.

   A decent retro-style zombie game to keep you entertained for a few hours. The price of 3€ is pretty high for its value, though.
   
   TheA decent retro-style zombie game to keep you entertained for a few hours. The price of 3€ is pretty high for its value, though.
   
   The gameplay can get a bit repetitive and boring, but it has a certain moment where you can really enjoy balancing your ammo consumption and surviving through the horde.
   
   The difficulty system prolongs the length of game modes for example from 10 to 40 rounds. I would prefer to choose the amount of zombies and amount of rounds separately, and as in lower difficulty settings you really can just run through campaigns without firing a bullet, there really isn't an option of a quick yet fun game.
   
   Dead Pixels' gameplay is designed worse than its feel and outlook which are surprisingly neat. The soundtrack is nice and enjoyable and its look has that certain "1920's damaged film reel" feeling to it that I enjoyed.
   
   I'd recommend Dead Pixels if you have a boner for indie retro games. Otherwise it doesn't quite offer 3€'s worth of entertainment. When Steam sales come around again I'd recommend it for anyone, though, even just as a backup time killer.… Expand
