Dead Island 2: A Day in the Life of a Slayer
Zombicide slaying in HELL-A is a full-time occupation! The following article provides an overview of Dead Island 2’s gameplay. Read it to find out how you’ll be mowing down the undead come April 28, 2023.
The Zompocalypse is open!
The City of Angels has been transformed into the City of the Undead by the apocalypse. Streets that once were filled with actors and musicians are now full of infected, flesh-hungry zombies.
The best thing? You’ve been bitten and are infected with the same virus that’s turned everyone else into a mindless cannibal. But interestingly enough, unlike the rest, you’re doing far more than just surviving the infection. You’re thriving on it.
Paradise Gone to Hell
Could you have asked for a more beautiful backdrop to humanity’s downfall? This sun-soaked paradise features all the infinity pools, Botox clinics, and fancy restaurants you’d expect from the hangouts of the rich and famous albeit a little more blood-soaked than usual.
During your stay, you’ll be fighting your way across the iconic city of LA (although the residents have renamed it HELL-A now) in your search for answers about your zombie status.
While you’re here, why not check out the sights and head on down to the boardwalk of Venice Beach, or battle your way through the jaw-dropping mansions of Beverly Hills? Make sure you add your bloody stamp to the Walk of Fame.
There’s more to a Slay-fest than just a fling
Being a slayer can get exhausting! If you ever need to take a break from bashing skulls, there’s a whole city full of sweet loot just waiting to be found, and while you’re digging, you may find out a little bit more about the shady goings-on that have turned LA into a zombie-infested zone.
Meet Hell-A’s Inhabitants
There’s some good news. You aren’t the sole survivor in all of this. During your journey, you’ll encounter other survivors, including a former Hollywood cowboy, a scarily committed sci-fi cosplayer, an aging drunk and disorderly rockstar, and a social media personality who goes to Extreme measures to please her followers, but they’re just a handful of the survivors left in HELL-A.
They’ll ask for your help from time to time, so it’s a good thing that they often have the shiniest and deadliest of rewards to offer in exchange for your slaying expertise.
Brutal Melee combat
Whether you’re slicing, dicing, shattering, or splattering zombies, you’ll feel every impact, crunch, decapitation, and bisection thanks to Dead Island 2’sVisceral combat and glorying gore systems.
You’ll also be using the environment within Hell-A to your advantage: dump a car battery into a pool and start drop-kicking zombies into it for a shockingly good time, or ignite a pool of gas leading to a fuel tank to blow chunks of undead foes into the next state!
Untold Weapons
It’s amazing what you can find lying around HELL-A: katanas, hammers, maces, broadswords, bo staffs, and sign poles — to name a few — can all be used to fuel your zombie onslaught.
But if up-close and personal isn’t your style, there’s enough long-ranged firepower here to bring a tear to the eye of every second amendment-loving, card-carrying NRA member. Pop zombies’ heads and blast off their limbs with an array of handguns, shotguns, carbines, and rifles.
The hammer you’re rocking hasn’t got enough of a kick? You can make your hammer flaming by tweaking the workbench. That’s the slayer spirit!
Channel Your Inner Zombie
So you’re infected: toeing the line between human and zombie. That’s got to come with a few perks, right? Absolutely right. These new zombie skills will level the playing fields! If the killing is getting tough, you can turn on your primordial Fury mode and start ripping at enemies with inhuman savagery. We’ll get to that in a moment.
The Core of Zombie
Zombies come in many shapes and sizes around HELL-A. From your standard shambling husks to mile-a-minute speed freaks, right through to muscle-bound giants, you’ll be throwing down with a motley bunch of undead Angelinos throughout your journey.
Others have superhuman abilities such as an ear-bleeding sound or an earth-shattering, supernatural strength. Enough to keep you on your toes, but nothing a capable slayer like yourself can’t handle, though.
Alexa Game Control – Call the shots with Alexa
Players in North America and Britain have a secret weapon: your voice Dead Island 2. Lure unsuspecting zombies to their demise with the promise of ‘fresh brains over here’ or instantly launch into Fury mode by shouting ‘go loco’!
