DEADSQUADS
"Deploy. Kill. Die. Repeat."
In the year 3479, the Terran Federation is the dominant force in a sprawling galaxy filled with human and alien civilizations. Born from Earth's early spacefaring efforts, the Federation has expanded its reach across countless star systems, but this expansion has come at a significant cost. The galaxy is fraught with dangers, including the terrifying Hive and the catastrophic legacy of the XV-Plague, which turns its victims into mindless, aggressive Infected.
Dreadhulks, massive derelict ships, drift in the void as haunting reminders of the Federation’s past glories and failures. These ships, once symbols of human ambition, are now infested with the Hive and the Infected. The Federation’s elite DeadSquads are humanity’s last hope to reclaim these ships and secure vital resources and data.
Welcome to DEADSQUADS, a high-stakes, solo play miniatures game set in the grim and gritty universe of the Terran Federation. Developed by Neuicon and brought to life by CPOP and Madhaus Design Studio, DEADSQUADS challenges you to lead a squad of expendable inmates on perilous missions into the heart of abandoned spacecraft, teeming with relentless threats. Prepare for an adrenaline-pumping experience where strategy, combat skills, and survival instincts are paramount.
DEADSQUADS immerses you in a solo campaign of tactical skirmish combat and strategic decision-making. As the commander of a DeadSquad, you will:
- Gather Intel: Before each mission, you will gather crucial information about your objectives, enemy threats, and the layout of the dreadhulk you’re boarding. Determine whether you’re facing the Infected or the Hive, and what mission you need to complete – from securing data to total elimination of threats.
- Assemble Your Squad: Choose your team from a roster of hardened inmates, each equipped with unique skills and abilities. Customize your squad to tackle the specific challenges of your mission.
- Deploy and Navigate: Board your deadpod and crash into the dreadhulk. The playing area represents the rooms of the derelict ship, filled with obstacles and enemy spawn points. Strategically place terrain to create cover and navigate through the hostile environment.
- Combat and Survival: Engage in intense tactical combat using a combination of movement, attack actions, and special abilities. Each turn is divided into phases – spawn new enemies, take actions with your squad, and fend off enemy attacks. Manage your squad’s health and resources carefully; survival depends on it.
- Achieve Objectives: Each mission has specific objectives, such as destroying a reactor core, extracting a survivor, or repairing vital equipment. Complete these tasks while fending off relentless waves of enemies to succeed.
- Clear and Advance: Clear each room of enemies and nests before moving to the next. The final room holds the key to your mission’s success. Failure to complete the objectives means death for your squad, while success brings you closer to redemption.
