Dead Estate is a really strong Twin Stick Roguelike that I would highly recommend to some and passively recommend to others.

If you're looking for a chaotic, fast paced and unhinged time you'll find it here. Impressive sprite work and memorable characters perfectly punctuate the experience as a worthwhile one. I was especially a fan of Chunks, the nemesis like creature that stalks you if you spend too long on a floor.

But if your looking for an especially polished time I would say look elsewhere. UI elements get in the way sometimes and it can be difficult to understand your positioning. Additional weapons also felt kind of useless. I mainly just stuck with the starting weapon for whatever character I chose to play as.

But overall I had a blast. It provided that "one more run" feeling I love and at the time of writing I've achieved the true ending with best girl Cordelia. It's a game I'll periodically jump back to and one I highly recommend you give a shot.
