Dead Men Walking is influenced by the Amiga classic Cannon Fodder with the unforgiving nature of games gone by. Simple controls and 60fps make it easy to pick up and smooth to play but the 9 levels of challenging gameplay and only 4 lives make it hard to master and complete the one goal, return to HQ. Enter the villages, towns and cities to search for supplies to help aid you in your mission. Only one small problem, they are filled with zombies. Even after completion, the challenge of beating your best level times along with random zombie placement provides endless replayability. Here are a few quotes from the Beta Testers: "full on cannon fodder nostalgia vibes" "cruel and unforgiving" "it's harder than bloodborne" "soundtrack was dope" Not much more to be said except... BEWARE OF THE HERD

History

Dead Men Walking is the debut game from solo dev team Stewed Brew Games.

"I've had the dream of making my own computer game since I first played Hunchback on the C64 back in the 80s. I've tested numerous games over the years when I worked in QA and while it was fun, the urge to make my own game never left me.

As I was brought up on the C64 and Amiga I've always had a soft spot for those type of games. I absolutely adored Cannon Fodder back in the day and I've still got the bullet you got with the game. So that's basically were the inspiration for Dead Men Walking came from."
