Dead End City

Dead End City provides a few hours of fun but its basic nature and not much in the way of progression regarding weaponry or special powers. Unfortunately, it doesn’t provide the replayability or memorable moments as some of the classics from the early 90’s. Those who are well into the genre will still have a good time here especially if you are competitive. The online leaderboards and different modes may just provide enough staying power for some.

A thoroughly surprising and different take on the traditional vertically-scrolling arcade shooter

Dead End City is one of the best indie shoot 'em ups that I've played in a long time with its unique setup and super-tight gameplay.
