Escape Dead Island
About the Game
Escape Dead Island is a spin-off from the main Dead Island series, outside of the main canon, and it is done by a different developer. Unlike the main series it is played from a third-person perspective. The visuals are changed to a cel shaded look with action words that appear on the screen similar to comic books. In this survival action game the player controls Cliff Calo who travels with two friends to the Banoi archipelago, mainly the Narapela island, to investigate the reports about strange events there.
Story & Setting
Many locations are blocked off until a specific point in the story.
Gameplay & Core Systems
Calo's mental state causes him sometimes to quickly move between locations or shows strange events. As an action game Calo is able to attack with melee weapons along with minor gunplay with a pistol and a shotgun because of the scarce ammunition. Groups of enemies cannot be attacked at once, so stealth has to be used regularly to sneak up and stealth kill them. Infected react to movement and sound. For melee attacks a fast and a heavy attack can be used, and these can be combined into combos.
Presentation & Atmosphere
Many familiar elements return, such as the ravaged tropical setting with infected humans wandering about. Infected react to movement and sound.
