You can grab almost anything from anywhere, though some things might be rarer than others.


You level up in-game by completing quests and killing zombies, though the game is pretty generous with its XP rewards.īesides levelling up your character you’ll have a ton of fun with the game’s looting and crafting system. Each one covers a different aspect of your skill set – ‘Fury’ improves your specialist abilities, ‘Combat’ improves your fighting skills, whilst ‘Survival’ improves attributes such as your health. The skill trees are ‘Fury’, ‘Combat’ and ‘Survival’. Luckily for you your character can improve their skill set through the use of three skill trees. Of course, this also means you’re the one tasked with taking the zombies out and assisting all of the survivors of the catastrophe. Fortunately your character is immune to the zombie virus. Those beautiful beaches, hotels and swimming pools are still full to the brim with holidaymakers – they just happen to be undead with a strong desire to eat your flesh. The bulk of the game sees you exploring the beautiful paradise island of Banoi that has been, you guessed it, overrun with zombies. You can still use any weapon in the game regardless of your chosen weapon class though. Whatever speciality you go for gives you access to the relevant special ‘Fury’ abilities – each character’s ‘Fury’ abilities are different and allow you to be more efficient with your specialist weapon for a short period. If you prefer fighting with guns then you might want to go for firearms specialist Purna, but if you’re more of a sword user then blade expert Xian Mei would be your go-to girl. This new definitive edition allows newcomers to play the most impressive edition of game, whilst those returning to the series can just enjoy exploring the deadly tropical island of Banoi all over again.ĭead Island casts you as one of four characters that each have their own specific weapon class that they specialise in. Sure, it had its issues, but behind the flaws was an enjoyable open world title that let you kill zombies with a wide array of crazy weapons. I’m not ashamed to admit that I liked Dead Island when it initially released. – You get to play definitive edition of two under-rated games – “Deep Silver are bringing the iconic bone crunching, skull smashing, limb breaking, blood drenching fan loved Dead Island and Dead: Island Riptide to the next generation! Featuring fully remastered and greatly improved versions of both Dead Island and Dead Island: Riptide set to deliver the ultimate Dead Island experience ever.”
