Overview Of Deadlock

Information about Deadlock is limited due to a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) that testers must sign. Consequently, public knowledge is mostly derived from verified screenshots and player feedback.

According to IGN, the game combines elements from hero shooters and MOBAs, including lane-based gameplay similar to DOTA 2 and tower defense mechanics.

Set in a fantasy-steampunk universe, Deadlock integrates these various gameplay aspects into a single experience.
