There is less and less left so that we can walk through the streets of Los Angeles in Dead Island 2, but while we're still waiting, the guys at Dambuster Studios want to make our teeth even longer with a 14 minute gameplay in which to be able to see many of the novelties that the new installment of zombies will bring us.
Beverly Hills luxury
The video in question takes us to the luxurious neighborhood of Beverly Hills, although the version of the game used is one that is still in development and it is not the final one that we will see in stores. In it, we see one of the six protagonists (zombie killer) of the game, Dani, who will walk through Beverly Hills and Bel-Air in search of new weapons with which to stop the infected.
The objective of our protagonist is to contact the authorities of the Halperin Hotel, an evacuation center located south of Beverly Hills.
Dodge, Dodge and Finish
As we can see, at the beginning of the game we can see how, in the absence of weapons, Dani uses her reflexes to kill the zombies. You have to dodge and find the right moment to finish off the infected with a deadly blow or movement. But don't think you're going to have to use your fists too much. In Dead Island 2 anything goes to hit, and you can use a golf club as well as a katana that you find hanging on the wall of a mansion. The goal is to get them to stop moving, of course.
fresh flesh
A new technology called FLASH (meat) will make the game look bloodier and funnier at the same time. The key is that this system will allow dismemberment of all kinds, being able to apply damage to enemies of all kinds, from muscle cuts and unimaginable dismemberment, to burns that melt zombies.
As they point out in the video, these dismemberments are not only a way to make the game more visually fun, but it will also serve as a strategy point to attack enemies at their weak points.
Crafting and secondaries
As expected, the game will be full of side missions that will allow us to get new weapons and accessories. And it is that these accessories will serve to customize the objects and give life to very crazy and effective weapons. How about a katana with flames? And steel claws like Wolverine's?
Improving the character
Another of the many possible combinations are the customization cards for our character. With these cards we will grant different abilities that will be reflected in the behavior, since we will be able to define modes of defense, attack and other abilities that will determine the way in which we will play with our character.
As if that were not enough, we will also have the possibility of using the "rampage mode” caused by the corrupted DNA of zombie slayers. Our character will behave for a few moments like a zombie, being able to sentence our enemies with blows. This mode is activated by pressing both analog sticks simultaneously.
