![]() ![]() You’re equipped with two key weapons, R2 fires you gun and L2 sucks with your vacuum-like device. So, although each ‘room’ within an area look very similar to the last, the layout, number of humans to save, items you find, and enemies you’ll face are all different and procedurally generated. The areas themselves are all procedurally generated, creating new layouts of rectangular rooms consisting of random objects and item placements. There are five distinct areas for you to unlock, each one offering its own visual style and set of enemies to fight. I failed to ‘not’ destroy everything in every room…Īs stated above, Dead End Job reminded me a lot of The Binding of Isaac (if we ignore the ghosts for now). There’s so much replayability as you find new items, venture into new areas, combat foes you’ve never seen before, and complete quests in order to unlock artwork and bonus items. Why the timer? Your boss is a spirit and she has to use the money in order to remain part of this world – she has a deadline of the next moon, hence 30 days. The main goal is to earn one million dollars before the end of the 30th day as a trainee ‘Pest Controller’, failure to do so will result in a game over as Dead End Job repeats itself, offering you another chance. It’s your job to progress through five unlockable areas, each with multiple levels of difficulty, as you search for your lost intern and suck up as many ghosts as you can find. You take the role of the rather ‘chunky’ protagonist, a new apprentice at the local Paranormal Pest Control. So, grab your vacuum cleaner device and gun (which apparently can hurt ghostly beings) and come with me as we enter the weird and wacky world of the best Paranormal Pest Control Officer around…Īs Dead End Job originated as a mobile game, even though the consoles and PC were obviously planned from the start, the story is nice and simple so that you can pick up and play whenever you have a free moment without worrying about remembering the backstory. ![]() Published by our friends over at Headup Games, Dead End Job launched today on the PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Steam – you can play it anywhere you want, depending on your console of choice! This game is the closest thing you’ll get to Luigi’s Mansion outside of a Nintendo console, offering lots of replayability and challenge as you aim to not only gain the platinum, but also complete the aim of the game before time runs out. The simplest way I can sum up this game is, imagine Luigi’s Mansion combined with The Binding of Isaac, yet presented in stages rather than a multi-floor format and all held together by bright and wondrous characters and addictive gameplay. One such game, which I’ve been waiting to eagerly get my hands on, is Dead End Job from Ant Workshop. Apple Arcade launched a short time ago over on iOS devices, bringing with it a bunch of brand new games – some of which were timed exclusives to the mobile platform.
