Edit: 6/15/17 - I have SUCCESSFULLY made this game work with windows 10 (this will require a patch) and played a multiplayer game between a windows 7 computer and a windows 10 computer (which may require a VPN). Instructions on both these items are below the review. ORIGINAL REVIEW: This game has fantastic strategic depth, and is a very good single-player game. As far as mechanics, it is a 4x game where several alien species land on a single planet, and then battle it out for global domination. You build up your colony, expand and colonize additional areas, build an army and fight with your enemies. Fairly simple at its core, but what makes it special is that this basic formula is done just right. Each species has its own unique abilities and traits, and each really has very distinct advantages. Even the humans, which in most games is the "average race" has very special abilities tha
*Note: At the time of writing this review, Deadlock 2 does not run on Windows 8. Only buy if you run Windows 7 or lower.* This game is awesome. Just plain awesome. I must have played 1000 hours of this in middle school and high school. It's not terribly complex, but its complex enough that it doesn't feel simple either. It's an expand and conquest game, similar to Civ and other turn based strategy games. Where Deadlock shines so brightly, though, is in its charm. Each of the alien races is a delight. The have a huge array of custom taunts, praises, cowers, and insults which they occasionally lob throughout the game. The races are all unique and don't feel repetetive at all. Even after almost 20 years since playing it regularly, this game sticks in my memory as one of the best I have ever played. I was so glad to see it here on Steam, so I picked it up immediately. I look forward once
Remember playing this game when I was a kid and was stoked to see it went on sale for a $1.49. Bought and installed, loaded and got a "Direct Draw Init FAILURE" notification. To bypass this, simply go to the source folder and locate the Deadlock.exe file. Right-click and under the compatibility tab you will check the box to run it in compatibility mode and set it for a verson of Windows that itsn't Win8 or Win95. All others are okay. Once this is set, run as administrator and it'll work. Now the only problem to get past is the black screen which has to do with the refresh rate. At this time, I do not recommend buying the game.
update: did manage to get this game running using DDRAW as per instructions here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/328450/discussions/0/152393186485315528/ thumbs down remains as i think people who are selling games on steam should ensure games are playable as they are packaged. or at least have something automatic to lead the purchaser thru the process of getting it working. as far as the game itself - i think i prefer the first version to this one - this one seems to require a lot more clicking to do the same things. Bah!!!! Note to self and everyone else: always check system requirements before buying a game!!! This game doesn't run on Windows 10. But in fairness, the system requirements on Steam say it needs an earlier version of Windows than Windows 8. Tried running in compatability mode and some of the other fixes suggested in forums but couldn't get it to work. Got the black scre
Fun game but have to mess with the files first to get it to work. thankfully someone on the community figured it out heres what they said to do For windows 10 -First go here: https://github.com/narzoul/DDrawCompat/releases and download the ddraw.zip for the most recent release. -Extract the files and place them in the Deadlock 2 folder within the steamapps/common. -Do what's suggested on the first page of this thread and do the Set Launch Properties. Type "-w" (not sure if this actually makes a difference) -Go to the local files and find the .exe for DeadLock. (right click deadlock launchers) Go into the properties menu under the compatibility tab. -Select Reduced color mode, 16-bit -Select the remaining 3 option below this then Apply and hit OK. -Make a shortcut of the .exe file that you just changed the properties on and be sure to run from this one only. Opening in steam will
This doesn't work on Windows 8 or later - there's a known issue with DirectX with a common "Direct Draw Init Failed" bug. While I got this as part of a bundle it's worth warning people off this game in case someone tries to buy it. Developers could have fixed this before they put it up for sale on Steam - selling dodgey software is reprehensible.
