ComingSoon's Dead Island 2 preview goes through how this zombie-slaying RPG is looking better than its long development would have suggested.
Dead Island 2But to be fair, Dambuster Studios’ version of the game has only been in development for around four or so years, meaning that the same dated husk of code hasn’t been transferred from developer to developer over the last decade through an undoubtedly damned pile of hard drives. And as such, this final version offeels like a normal and modern game, one with multiple interesting systems at its core.
And this nuance has gameplay ramifications since a crippled zombie won’t have access to their full suite of attacks. Clipping a Crusher’s arms means it can do a big ground pound, while slicing off a Runner’s legs means it can’t live up to its colloquial namesake. Sadly, the RPG systems might limit this since, as annoying as it is in other games, there’s some level gating that can arbitrarily make some zombies extremely hard to kill for no reason other than the number above their head.
The multiple water sources in the game — including water cans players can use to manually douse the environment — open up the possibilities even more and give smart players the means to create combos. Every element is naturally integrated in the world like this, too, and there are even Curveballs, special throwables tied to a cooldown meter, that give players ever more ways to manipulate the world and those within it.
