There are 15 slots in a skill deck to fill out and two non-customizable cards, with some cards exclusive to certain characters. The latter is the most powerful, letting players unleash. These funnel out from the umbrella of main-category skills: Abilities, Survivor, Slayer and Numen. Skill Cards allow players to equip cards that enhance up to three core abilities (Defense, Jump Kick and Special Attack). That's the sort of fun, goofy-but-serious thing players can utilize while they look for creative ways to use elements and environmental hazards in order to survive (aim for those grenades dangling on zombie soldiers' vests, people).Įnhancing the experience is the series-norm battery of RPG systems. Such as.tossing a bucket of water on a zombie before tossing a car battery at it. This isn't Pokemon with zombies by any means, but common sense rules apply. The most common example is the fact again that a fire-based weapon won't do much to an enemy that is already.wait for it.on fire. Like the original game, there are elemental forces at play, too. Like Dead Space earlier this year, the game promises to realistically tear through flesh, fat and bones naturally for a sort of procedurally generated gore that is both appealing and impressive. Heavy-bladed weapons lodge into an opponent's body in an almost risky way depending on the situation, while quicker weapons feel fast and damaging alike. Regardless, each offers surprises in combat style and uniqueness in how to take them down.Īs they should, different weapon types feel wildly different.

One, for example, is a tank who gets health back when knocking enemies down. This unfolds similarly to Overwatch, with each character boasting distinct personalities and play styles. But it's not long before a player can paint the walls red, with something disconcerting like the remaining upper half of a zombie clawing its way toward the player across a glossy hardwood floor.Īn action RPG that unfolds in first person, players pick from one of six playable characters at the start of the campaign. The lighting, shadows and in-depth environments are stunning in their own right. But stuck in there are outstanding depictions of zombie warfare, like clobbering an undead once and watching its eye pop out and dangle, proper physics and all. The setting is gorgeous at times and feels realistic enough, besides some obvious reused asset moments for building interiors.
