"DEADCRAFT would be a decent game if it allowed for more freedom and featured a much larger explorable environment. Unless you desperately want to experience its wacky and irreverent game world, I recommend playing the far superior DYSMANTLE instead."

"Deadcraft has a goofy tone that&s;s reminiscent of the Borderlands series; hyperviolent with a light comedic touch. It&s;s one of those games that finds the fun in treading the line between complete immorality and also trying to do the right …"

"Deadcraft is a standard survival game with zombies and a budget price tag. If the idea interests you, then you&s;ll probably get a good amount of fun out of the game, but if you&s;re on the fence, it doesn&s;t do …"

"Deadcraft offers a stimulating farming and harvesting mechanic that keeps the gameplay engaging, despite the easier difficulty level. It targets those who prefer a darker, more punk-nihilistic aesthetic compared to the lighter, cuter style of series like Rune Factory. It …"

"Deadcraft is an amalgamation of inspirations coming together to create something distinct. And you know what, the various fascinating ideas and mechanics are enough to assure there’s fun. What ends up bogging down the session are odd decisions."

"Deadcraft is a visually beautiful (if at times cartoonishly gorey) game that plays quite smoothly. Effective in-game tutorials support the game’s signature dual-natured crafting and combat systems. Quick action and a well-constructed UI keep the player engaged with minimal overhead. …"

"Deadcraft is a game for those who feel Rune Factory is too saccharine with its pastel visuals and girly character designs and needed a lot more punk nihilism. It may not have the dazzling veneer of a AAA production, but …"
