There's little to how you attack enemies, with an attack or power attack being your options outside of throwing a weapon. The Skill Card system, over the use of a typical skill point system, can feel a little gimmicky in execution, but changing up several of your Skill Cards at any point to take off different types of foes makes it more customizable. Earning different Skill Cards as you play will allow you to do things like a drop kick a zombie off a cliff Sparta-style and change up your block button used to be a block/counter or a dashing maneuver. A simple pole can become heavier and strung up with an electric prod, which will shock enemies that it not only hits but can be used to throw into puddles and pools to shock all the zombies standing within it. Other characters include Amy, an athlete Ryan, an erotic dancer and Jacob, the game's cover star, who is featured with a katana most of the time.įor most of the game, you'll only have access to melee weapons, but these can be upgraded and used in tandem with Skill Cards for your character to achieve even deadlier combos. I completed the game as Dani, a rockabilly punk with a massive boost in her endurance over other characters but one of the lowest health regeneration rates out of the six. Each character has two unique passive skills, pushing them towards certain weapons or playstyles and slight changes in their stats. Of course, a zombie on board soon sends the plane spiralling back to the ground, and you'll have a chance to pick out of the six whomever you want to play as for the campaign. There's no messing about with the opening cutscene for Dead Island 2, introducing the game's six playable characters and how they all get aboard a plane attempting to leave Los Angeles. The narrative is thin, but the violence is thick, and the game's biome design over a fully-fledged open world had me nodding approvingly. Having not played the first game, I only had a few expectations for this game, but it's precisely what you'd expect based on all the game's marketing. The blood-soaked combat and zombie-slaying carnage in Dead Island 2 was everything I needed it to be.
