DEADPACK

How to play

DEADPACK is a backpack strategy game against a zombie horde. Drag weapons and gear into your 3x3 backpack, then press Fight. Your hero fights the wave automatically using what you packed, so every slot matters. Space or Esc pauses combat, and a speed toggle switches between x1 and x2.

Merging and upgrades

Drag two identical items together to merge them into a higher rank. Reserve slots hold gear you are not using yet, and gold buys new gear between waves. When your hero levels up, you choose a skill, such as more XP, more gold or faster attacks.

Goal

Survive eight acts of 15 waves each. Clearing them earns rewards that strengthen your arsenal for the next run.

Tips

• Merging frees a slot and ranks an item up, so keep matching pieces in reserve until you can combine them.
• Each merge frees a slot, so look for pairs before buying more gear.
• Early on, gold and XP skills pay off over many waves; later, combat skills help with harder waves.
• Use x2 speed for easy waves and x1 when you want to watch how your build performs.
