MAD
SteamMAD is a hardcore pixel-art top-down action shooter set in a brutal, 90s-inspired dystopia where violence isn’t just survival - it’s entertainment. In the rotting heart of a corrupt future city, the wealthy elite broadcast a sadistic spectacle to the masses: a deadly game staged inside a skyscraper where ordinary people are thrown in and hunted for sport. The rules are simple: climb, kill, and don’t die. The reward? Freedom… or at least the illusion of it.
The Tower: A Vertical Slaughterhouse
Fight your way through a massive deadly skyscraper designed to break you. Each floor presents a new gauntlet of deadly traps, surveillance systems, and hostile environments engineered for maximum carnage.
Fight, Sabotage, Rebel
Engage in fast-paced, unforgiving combat where precision and aggression are your only allies. Dodge bullets, outmaneuver enemies, and turn the environment against your hunters.
Hunters and Killers
Face a relentless roster of enemies - from street thugs and cyber-enhanced enforcers to elite assassins trained to hunt you down. Each encounter demands quick thinking and sharper reflexes as enemies adapt, flank, and overwhelm.
Survival with an Edge
Scavenge weapons, gear, and upgrades as you fight your way upward. Build your character through light RPG progression, unlocking new abilities and enhancing your combat style.
Break the Cycle
There were many contestants on the TV show before you - but you could be the one to survive and end this madness. As the line between contestant and insurgent begins to blur, one goal becomes clear: reach the top, silence the Host, and end the broadcast once and for all.
Don’t change the channel. The hunt has begun.
