Just in time for Christmas, Prophecy Games has delivered an early gift to players with a free new expansion for its FPS shooter, Deadzone Rogue. Available now across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series, the Apophis Expansion adds eight new missions, new bosses, a new Forging System, and more.
As detailed in a new blog post on Steam, the Forging System allows players to modify their weapons in safe rooms to receive ‘Blessed Traits.’ Weapons that are blessed are said to gain powerful and unique effects and they also receive a permanent power level increase.
The expansion also introduces Apophis itself, a mysterious asteroid base featuring winding underground tunnels, vast cavernous spaces, and valuable crystalline minerals, all set against an increasingly dangerous backdrop.
Players will face a range of new combat threats throughout Apophis, including possessed miners, cybernetic witches, hulking robots, sword bearers, drones, fanatical cultists, and more.
If you end up with some Christmas money spare, Deadzone Rogue is also discounted at 30% on Steam until 5th January as part of Winter Fest.
Mike spent some time with the FPS roguelike following its release this August and came away pleasantly surprised. He concluded his review by admitting: “I’ve really enjoyed myself, more than I thought I would, and having seen the gameplay evolve across Deadzone’s three areas, with new enemies, bosses, and mechanics layered in over time, I’m looking forward to diving back in, hopefully with a wingman by my side.”
