Dead Second is an arcade-style action rail shooter from Spunge Games Pty Ltd, inspired by classics such as Time Crisis. The levels carry you along while you concentrate on aiming and shooting. It came out on the Meta Horizon Store on June 27, 2024.
How it plays
The developer describes it as easy to learn and hard to master. Across eight missions you compete with players worldwide on speed, accuracy and score, using a wide range of guns and unlockable skins. The developer compares the feel to chaining headshots like John Wick or dodging bullets in slow motion like Neo in The Matrix.
The current store text also describes a holiday update:
- Enemies wear Christmas-themed outfits, including elves, toy soldiers and winter mobsters.
- Your home base is decorated with lights, presents and a Christmas tree.
- The shooting range has Gingerbread Man targets and themed breakable items.
- A Santa Glove skin can be unlocked for missions.
The store page calls the game award-winning and quotes positive press; those are the developer's own claims.
