Chronodeck – A New Time-Challenge Mode for Xbox in Deadlink, Available Now
Greetings, Agents.
I’m happy to be able to announce to you that mission command has authorized the use of an experimental training programme, to keep you sharp as ever. As you know, the Combat Shells you use in our missions, while disposable, are nevertheless an asset we would prefer you to utilize to the full extent of their potential. To do so, the R&D department has provided us with a cutting-edge, virtual environment that will really push you to achieve mastery over the craft of disrupting the operations of the corpos we aim to dismantle.
Introducing the Chronodeck Mode:
A series of timed challenges, or obstacle courses if you will, the Chronodeck mode is designed to improve your abilities such as fluid movement, precise aim and utilizing the many skills of the various Combat Shells to dominate the battlefield.
Just making it through the obstacle course can be difficult to initiate Agents, so expect to fail every now and then. However, that’s not where the true challenge lies. At the end of each run, your performance will be judged and graded based on how quickly and precisely you completed the run.
Understand now, that there will always be a better score to achieve. Shaving seconds off of each run may just be the difference between a great and a truly outstanding Agent, so make sure you do your best. To further motivate you, your score will be compared against other Agents in Global Leaderboards.
Think you’ve got what it takes to achieve the top scores? Prove it!
Head over to the X account of Crunching Koalas to find and enter the competition. Achieve the highest score among other participants before August 14th and win an Xbox Pro Controller!
Don’t be too intimidated though. Surely, the competition will be fierce, but Deadlink was created with controller players in mind. Rather than relying on aim-down-sights mechanics and long-range precision shooting, the game invites you to get up close and personal with various mobility, short-range and area control skills.
Hone them and you’ll see yourself become the master of the battlefield!
That’s it for now, Agents. I’ll see you on the other side. Make your Agency proud!

Deadlink is a cyberpunk FPS with roguelite elements. You’re the first operative to be recruited to the experimental Deadlink project. Pilot an autonomous combat shell, fighting your way through cramped slums, twisted labs, grimy warehouses, and sleek office buildings on a mission to thwart the schemes of the most powerful corporations in the world. Wield a deadly arsenal, upgrade your skills and tech, devastate destructible environments, and slash corporate profit margins — all at the same time.
You are the Corporate Security Agency’s greatest weapon, and it’s your job to make sure the corporations and their shady deals are anything but secure. With the team at HQ backing you up, you’re tossed headfirst into the fray, where a military operation with plausible deniability can fix things for a fraction of the cost of a hopeless court case.
Every randomized run will be different, but one thing never changes: you will be outnumbered. Get ready to think on your feet as you dash, jump, and use the environment to your advantage. You can’t still, not even for a second.
Equip your shell with powerful weapon loadouts. Try out various combinations as you blaze a path of destruction. Want to snipe your foes from a distance, debilitate them with status effects, or just go in guns blazing? Whatever your playstyle, you can find the right kit for the job.
Your enemies have no shortage of bullets and bodies to throw at you. But you’re no slouch either. Sure, you might lose a combat shell here and there, but your next one will be even tougher. Start each new run with amped-up skills and deadlier firepower!
