The game Deathtroopers is now available for free download on itch.io. Set in the world of Star Wars, the game opens with a lone Stormtrooper investigating an abandoned Star Destroyer littered with wreckage. The ship is filled with corpses and the alarm is blaring, creating a tense and eerie atmosphere. As the player, you take on the role of the Stormtrooper, navigating the spaceship and facing the possibility of encountering reanimated adversaries.
Armed with a blaster, you must fend off any threats and survive for five minutes. Upon surviving this initial challenge, players unlock a new Nightmare Mode, set on the iconic moon of Endor. In this mode, the player assumes the role of a fleeing Stormtrooper who has crashed onto the moon and must navigate an old resistance outpost. The outpost is infested with undead scout troopers, and the player, along with their damaged droid DD5, must find a way to call for help while fending off the remnants of the Empire.
The game introduces a thrilling and suspenseful element by incorporating a pre-rendered cutscene featuring a zombified Darth Vader. This encounter is insurmountable, as the player’s objective is to survive for five minutes rather than engage in combat with the formidable foe. The game’s creative expansion into the horror genre within the Star Wars universe offers an immersive and challenging experience for players.
