DeadWire is a top-down tactical shooter set in a high-tech, dystopian city. You play as Wire, a skilled hacker navigating the dangerous streets of a crime-infested future. Use your hacking abilities to manipulate the environment and outsmart heavily armed enemies out to stop you. Its not easy. Deadwire is designed to be challenging in a good way. The action is a mix of fast shooting (often against heavy odds) and slower combat puzzles. Look around for something to hack, experiment with chain reactions- use the environment to distract or destroy. In the high-tech, crime-filled world of Deadwire, you can hack enemies and link them to each other and nearby objects, causing deadly chain reactions that turn the environment into a weapon. Mix fast shooting, power-ups, and a unique rewiring ability to help you defeat enemies and complete your mission.  There are always plenty of options, make sure you use the link view to check for possible hack opportunities. Plan ahead or go in-freestyle and restart if you get blocked. The restart function is there for a reason. Utilise a deadly arsenal of weapons – including pistols, shotguns, smg, molatov grenades, smart rifles and more.  Grab enemy weapons and ammo for a quick upgrade and keep an eye out for hidden easter eggs and power-ups. Use your creativity to complete missions in different ways and beat side-objectives and time-targets to unlock trophies. The game is designed to be replayed, and the time trail and speedrun score mode, achievements and side objectives are there to reward anyone looking for extra challenge.
