    If you are a platforming genius DeadCore will be your ultimate challenge as the difficulty is raking the highest tops. It might even be so hard that certain players will simply drop off, but if you are not afraid of insanely complicated puzzles you have to give this a try.

    A lot of skill, fast reflexes and quick maneuvering are keys to solve the riddle throughout its 5 levels. If it just had a few more checkpoints so it wasn't unbearably punishing then it would have been a 9 or 10, but I feel that it solidly earns a well deserved 8/10.    … Expand

    Skill skill skill ! You will need nothing more than that ...

    This games reminds me the 'obstacle' maps of Shootmania Storm.
    But well done and beautiful !
    A lot of replayability also.

    From my Steam Review: The people who complain about this game's difficulty miss the beauty of this game. This is by far one of the most spectacular looking games I have ever played. Three words come to mind when I look at the background: Godly, Heaven, Futuristic. It is still challenging but not impossible. It is not rare to die 5 times to get past one obstacle just like the original MarioFrom my Steam Review: The people who complain about this game's difficulty miss the beauty of this game. This is by far one of the most spectacular looking games I have ever played. Three words come to mind when I look at the background: Godly, Heaven, Futuristic. It is still challenging but not impossible. It is not rare to die 5 times to get past one obstacle just like the original Mario games, but you will be able to get past them eventually. You may not even have to get through the obstacle the way the game wants you to. By that I mean, the way you solve the obstacle is very flexible. You can often go around, above, or behind your obstacle and there are even multiple paths to your ultimate destination. This game has no story, but it doesn't need one because the journey is the experience. I beat this game just now and it was an incredibly fun game.

    I have no idea where these negative reviews are coming from.    … Expand

    DeadCore is a skill based game like we don't see enough, made by an indie game studio with lots of passion! When you've finished a level you'll want to play it again just to beat your time. The game is visually stylish. If you liked Portal, Mirror's Edge and indie games in general, you're gonna like it! 10/10, this game deserves encouragements!

    Good difficult, a bit short. There was some passage where you need some more trys. Huge worlds and skill needed. One of the best Jump and Run games ever !

    I think this game is surprisingly under-rated based on the user reviews. It is a unique game, well executed with tight controls.

    It is a very unique platforming game. Personally I liked the Sci-Fi style, the special obstacles and that I could jump SO **** high. (xD) However I think it might be a little overpriced but overall I enjoyed the game.

    Surprisingly fun and well developed indie FPS platformer/speedrunner. Very intense and challenging platform action with some pretty crazy puzzles thrown in as well. It's only 5 levels, but expect a grueling 1-2hrs each to complete levels 4 and 5.

The satisfaction at the end is definitely worth the frustration as you grind your way through from checkpoint to checkpoint. At times I noticed my elevated heart-rate from the intensity of playing this game. Pretty decent visuals, great music, and a heck of a fun challenge if you have it in you.… Expand

    An extreme first person platformer designed very skillfully. Every time I died – and I died 343 times on the last level alone – I needed to try again. There’s something in Deadcore that makes you crawl back for more. [02/2015, p.48]

    Combining platform and FPS might sound weird, but DeadCore shows it can be much fun.

    This game is what we could call a "Super Meat Boy 3D", since its gameplay relies on precision. It's not perfect, but its mechanics and difficulty make it very enjoyable.
