Just over two months dead island 2 sold worldwide, Dambuster Studios and Deep Silver reveal an in-depth look at the gameplay, which shows the residential neighborhood of Bel Air, Los Angeles as the starting point for the action.
Armed with an arsenal of weapons, each with its own unique and brutal fighting style, and endless upgrade possibilities, zombie slayer Dani will take on standard zombies (crawler, walker, runner), with variations such as the Grenadier Walker and with Apex (hypermutated zombies), all with unique powers and behaviors.
Hailing from the pogo (a type of dance characterized by jumping) from Irish County Cork, Dani’s balanced tenacity as a vampire hunter is well suited to an agile fighting style. His mission ? Arrival at the Halperin hotel. Players will see how to take advantage of curveballs and combining a powerful set of ability cards, which improve abilities and adapt to playstyle, helping Dani navigate his way through the early part of the game .
Dambuster Studio’s dismemberment technology, known as FLESH (Fully Localized Evisceration System for Humanoids), means crushing bones, slicing zombies and melting flesh has never been so satisfying.
As an infected but somehow immune vampire hunter, he finally witnesses what happens when the hunter activates his corrupted DNA and triggers Rage Mode.
Note: For the purposes of this video, some weapons and abilities have been unlocked and will not be available until later in the game.
