Laser League

Developed by the talented independent studio Rotten Mage, Spacejacked follows Dave, an engineer defending his spaceship against hordes of invading aliens.

A grotesque and bloated corpse – dead, yet still alive – shambles towards you, groaning gutturally. The dead have come back to life, and … Wait, you’ve heard this one before? You’re right, the whole zombie thing is getting a little played out. Metal Gear Survive, The Walking Dead, Dead...
