Description
Beneath you floats magnificent, untamed Gallius IV, a terran world newly discovered in this disputed part of the galaxy. Your colony ship is ready, equipped with all the basics you need to settle this planet. The select group of colonists orbiting with you are prepared both to build a strong colony and to defend it to the last stone. Other ships are also scanning the planet's surface, choosing the landing site for their colony. All past allegiances have been cast aside in the fever for this world.

In Deadlock, an intense turn-based strategic simulation, seven races colonize a virgin planet, but only one will survive. Build your province’s structures. Conduct research to advance your race. Devise the perfect strategy of diplomacy, intimidation and warfare. Every decision you make will determine the ultimate fate of your people, your empire, and your survival.
  • Choose to command the human or one of six other alien races, each with unique strengths, weaknesses, and needs.
  • Engage in tactical combat with a wide variety of land, air and sea-based military units.
  • Advanced custom game options and planet generation provide high replayability and depth of play.

One of the best old school strategy game

One of the best old school strategy games. Make sure to check the game files for a funny easter egg song.

Excellent Turn-Based Strategy

I've loved this game for years. The racial abilities and lore are interesting, the gameplay is fantastic, and it's overall a very satisfying game. Also, the insult/threat/complaint/brag dialogue can't be beat. Tarth give you break! Which bone?

Fair to good as is, but it needed more

It's too simplistic, simple as! Too few units and buildings, too basic unit stats/attribs etc. Too small a tech tree. GFX, SFX and music while functional are poor...... even for the year this was released. It looks like a Windows 3.1 game FGS! No diplomacy at all, you are considered permanently "at war" with all the others, though that scenario does fit the game's backstory! Despite it saying it is a feature, "trading" NEVER works, your trades are refused EVERY time, they NEVER trade with you. Many people experience problems running this too. So GOG did not get it working "100%". So be warned if you do decide to get it. That over simplicity is a shame, because the game is good with what it has. The AI does seem quite smart and will give you a run even on easiest AI difficulty settings. It will trounce you on higher settings! Though on maps with oceans, they don't ever seem to build/use ships. So a faction stuck on an island is screwed. Deadlock 2 added a bit more I believe, but almost no-one has even run that broken version GOG peddle AFAIK! Myself included.
