I was tasked to retrieve a certain blood bag but had to get past tons of zombies in order to get there. My demo took place on the iconic Santa Monica Pier where a zombie clown was causing trouble. During my demo, I got introduced to different types of zombies, which made it a lot harder to adapt and survive. Combining those special and heavy attacks with normal melee attacks often form the path to victory but it’s never easy to survive. Each weapon has a charged attack and special attack which inflicts some crucial and cinematic damage to your enemy. If you slice through an arm with your katana, the arm will fall off, do the same with the legs and you made your enemy a lot slower. To keep the action as entertaining as possible, the team really went all out when it comes to dismemberment of the human body. Guns and ammo are hard to find so if you want to defeat the zombies, you’ll need to get close and personal. The weapons in Dead Island 2 are clearly hand-crafted and the emphasis lies on melee weapons. I had access to some classic such as a katana, pistol and automatic rifle but things got really interesting when I discovered my fire-ax, electric wolverine claws or my Shaolin fighting rod. Since the demo is rather deep in the game we had access to several amazing weapons and boy did we need those! The hordes of zombies aren’t exactly easy to take down but even in some of the more difficult sections I never stopped having fun.Ī big part of that fun are the weapons, weapons that could inflict some serious damage. No time to catch a breath here, if you want to stay alive, you better fight for it. No, in Dead Island 2, you’re dropped straight into the action and you’re constantly surrounded by zombies. Dead Island 2 doesn’t want you to go from one point to another, preparing for some zombies you’ll eventually have to defeat. Although the level itself is quite linear, it’s packed with zombies. The demo is one of the later levels but due to its more linear design, the team thought it formed the perfect playground for a short Gamescom demo. It was the biggest surprise of the Gamescom Opening Night Live and after playing it, I’m convinced this will live up to its hype.īefore I could play the game, the team gave me some details of where I was in the game. After years of delays and some different developers, Dead Island 2 finally is real and is releasing this February. I can’t believe I’m typing this but I finally played Dead Island 2.
