Dead Island 2 on PS4 is a thrilling first-person action RPG that blends horror, dark humor, and over-the-top zombie-slaying. The game is set in a zombie-infested, gore-drenched Los Angeles, which the game lovingly calls "HELL-A."
Key features of Dead Island 2 on PS4 include:
* Explore HELL-A: Journey through iconic locations of Los Angeles, from the verdant suburbs of Beverly Hills to the quirky promenade of Venice Beach, all now teeming with the undead.
* Brutal Melee Sandbox: Experience intense, visceral, and gory first-person combat. You'll have a wide array of weapons and tactical options to carve your way through the zombie hordes, truly feeling every slice, smash, burn, or rip. The game features a "FLESH" system for procedurally generated, detailed dismemberment.
* Be the Ultimate Zombie Slayer: Choose from six unique playable characters, each with their own personality and dialogues. You can fully customize their abilities using a new skill system that allows for instant re-speccing and trying out diverse builds.
* Cinematic Co-op Adventure: Engage in a proper RPG experience with plenty of exciting quests, a crazy cast of characters, and a thrilling pulp story. The game also offers an over-the-top co-op mode for up to three players. PS4 players can join co-op sessions, while PS5 and PS4 Pro users can host.
* Diverse Zombies: Face dozens of distinct zombie types, each with their own mutations, attacks, and Los Angeles-themed variants.
Dead Island 2 also offers an arsenal of weapons, from the mundane to the insane, which can be customized with mods for elemental effects and perks to alter your slayer's stats. Unlike previous games, it uses a deck-building system for skills rather than a traditional skill tree.
