It is centered on the challenge of surviving a zombie-infested open world island with a major emphasis on melee combat. It was originally announced at E3 2006, but was pushed back to 2011. It was released on September 6, 2011 in North America, September 9, 2011 in the PAL regions and October 20, 2011 in Japan. A sequel, Dead Island: Riptide, was released in 2013. Dead Island features an apparent open world roaming, divided by relatively large areas, and played from a first-person perspective. Most of the gameplay is built around combat and completing quests. Dead Island is an action role-playing game and uses experience-based gameplay and character customization, though options are quite limited, it is more character selection rather than "customisation". The player earns XP by completing tasks and killing enemies. Upon leveling up, the player gains health and stamina, and can invest one skill point into a skill tree and level up one of their skills. • Gameplay: Dead Island takes place on the fictional island of Banoi; a lush, tropical resort destination located off the coast of Papua New Guinea. The night after a high-profile party, the four main characters (hereafter referred to as "the survivors"); rapper Sam B., hotel receptionist and spy for the Chinese government Xian Mei, former football-star Logan Carter, and ex police officer Purna-are awakened by a voice over the emergency intercom system directing them to evacuate the hotel. They discover that the majority of the po[CENSORED]tion have been overcome by a contagious and infectious disease, turning them into psychotic, flesh-eating creatures. Briefly overcome by one of the infected, they are rescued by lifeguard John Sinamoi. the four survivors discover that they are apparently immune from infection, and with "The Voice" out of contact, the survivors are tasked by Sinamoi to try and find supplies and contact the outside world. As it becomes obvious that the resort lacks enough supplies to survive for long, Sinamoi instead has them travel to the city of Moresby to find help. The survivors take along Jin, the daughter of the infected mechanic who modifies an armored car they use to break out of the resort. Zombies in the game have different abilities, such as the Infected being 28 Days Later style running zombies, and Walkers being Romero style zombies. There are also other special zombies being Left 4 Dead style. • Trailer: • System Requirements: • CPU: Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz • RAM: 1 GB • OS: Windows XP • Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 512MB VRAM (NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT) • Free Disk Space: 7 GB • Screenshots Edited January 27, 2014 by Kristopher!#
