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.

Multiplayer Removed

Zero stars! Why is there no multiplayer function as there was in the original? Rip off!

Great game, Multi-player removed

Great game, but the multi-player has been removed in the GOG version.

Too simplistic

The game is just too simple. There is very little depth and you will get the urge to just shrug your shoulders from turn-to-turn. Cannot be compared to the Civilization series, which had depth and yet playability. I was very disappointed in it considering the positive reviews it garnered.

Good game, multiplayer option removed

Deadlock is a great turn-based strategy game, one that has not lost its glory with age. There is, however, a significant problem with the GOG version of Deadlock: The multiplayer game mode is removed, which takes away half the point of buying the game.

"Son! Be a Colonist..."

Man, I loved this game as a kid. Sadly, the secret song doesn't seem to be included, so here's a youtube link to it: (http colon slash slash www dot youtube dot com slash)watch?v=j19mg4ci69A I still have the dang thing memorized years later.
