Welcome to the Into Indie Games walkthrough and guides hub for Dead Weight.
Dead Weight is a turn-based RPG with roguelite elements. The combination of these genres is what makes the game unique. This game does an excellent job of blending them together. While each run starts you back in the Abyss, your overall progress isn’t completely reset. You can unlock permanent upgrades, and town buildings remain available across runs.
That makes each new attempt a little easier than the last. If you’d like to learn more about the game, you can visit its Steam page.
As Dead Weight combines roguelite progression with turn-based RPG mechanics, it can be a little overwhelming for new players. That’s why we’ve put together a series of walkthroughs and guides to help you understand the game’s mechanics. They may also progress more efficiently and make the most of each run. This hub contains all of our walkthroughs along with useful guides for different aspects of the game.
Disclaimer
In Dead Weight. islands, loot, events, and enemy encounters are procedurally generated in each run, so your experience may differ from ours. You may not encounter the same events, enemies, or loot in the same order, and some things may not appear at all. That said, after completing numerous runs and spending several hours with the game, we’ve found that many important locations, encounters, and mechanics remain consistent across playthroughs. While the placement and order of certain things can change, the overall progression is similar enough for this walkthrough to serve as a reliable guide. Use this walkthrough as a reference rather than a step-by-step guide, as the game’s randomized nature means your playthrough will likely differ from ours.
