'DeathRun TV' Gets Nintendo Switch And PC Date, No Longer coming To PS4 And Xbox Series X|S - Screens & Trailer

In DeathRun TV, contestants must battle their way through swarms of enemies dreamt up in a lab — all for the satisfaction of an audience that never switches off.

DeathRun TV is a roguelike shooter with breakneck speed, bullet-dodging action, and lots of guns. Put it all on the line for the (rogue)likes — and remember, the run is all that matters.

In a seriously disturbed future where the quest for fame means everything, contestants must battle their way through swarms of enemies dreamt up in a lab — all for the satisfaction of an audience that never switches off. Likes are awarded for everything, from blowing up giant mutated creatures to choosing to save helpless humans attached to death contraptions.

With breakneck speed, bullet-dodging action and lots of guns, you'll need to survive swarms of rabid mutants to progress and level up your contestant. Twin-stick bullet hell action tests your reflexes through each arena.

Don't feel like being a hero? Hit the kill switch to bring things to a swift and bloody end while earning advanced weapons in the process. Each attempt sees the Deathrunners transformed into twisted killing machines with abilities, such as exploding bodies and giant heads.


Publisher Merge Games and developer Laser Dog revealed that DeathRun TV will make its long awaited debut for PC (Steam), Nintendo Switch and Google Stadia on 1st June, 2022, with PlayStation 5 to follow at a later date.

A playable demo for DeathRun TV is currently available on Steam.
