Description
Damned Cold is a twin-stick shooter with some light rogue-like elements (perma-death, randomization, replayability) where you play as an escaped prisoner of war trying to escape their captors through killing cold in a reactive diesel-punk world. Anything and everything will try to kill you - but by learning from your deaths you will make progress and eventually manage to escape. The game does not end there though - with each escape additional play conditions and modifiers will unlock giving the next playthrough added variety.
Each run through can take as little as a few minutes once paths are learned, and enemies and traps figured out - but unlockable modifiers will demand additional objectives be met before an escape attempted - or powerful new equipment or vehicles can be unlocked to help in those attempts.
