The development team at the new game studio start up Keldyn Interactive is hoping to make Dead Meets Lead more than just an brainless action game with a cool title. For one thing the game is set in the 1700s where your main character isn't using Uzi machine guns to shoot up the undead but less powerful items like a sword and a historical rifle (although you can get more powerful items along the way). This downloadable action game is due out sometime in 2011. Big Download recently got the CEO of Keldyn, Fredrik Norén, to give them some more info about Dead Meets Lead.
DIYGamer: Sometimes, a game just fails to sell. My first exposure to Keldyn Interactive’s age-of-sail zombie masher Dead Meets Lead was via our own site here. And after that? Nothing. It’s entire existence flew under the radar for most after it’s release last year. It also completely failed to sell, despite a strong showing at the Swedish Game Awards. Now, at the end of a long and troubled road and after a rather damning postmortem, the developers are disbanding and releasing the game as freeware.
TechNoid writes: "There is an ongoing battle between pirates and ninja's, zombies and aliens and more strange creatures. But what if a dev combines two of these?"
Ironhammers: Some of us are a little bored of Zombies by now, while others can’t get enough — either way, it’s always good to see somebody trying to use the undead and infected humans in a different way than we’re used to. This is what Swedish indie developers Keldyn Interactive have attempted to do with their latest rease, Dead Meets Lead.
