who is the only member of the crew to
not be infected will join the survivors
this time around as the fifth Flavel
character skilled in hand-to-hand combat
for those who decide to carry on with
their favorites from the previous title
they can import their old stats and
continue the experience exactly where
they left off as this horror adventure
begins players find themselves not just
surrounded by the undead but an
unpredictable and violent storm pattern
venturing inland the survivors soon
discover a flooded Church which becomes
the main game hub there the primary goal
soon becomes finding a way to clear the
water out of its interconnected
underground tunnel system and to locate
the town of Henderson a new element to
the experience players must set up
defenses around their base these
defenses ranged from generic chain-link
fences to mini gun emplacements and a
variety of mines the mines range from
poison to Sonic and the conventional
variety that go boom essentially in
Riptide you aren’t just given a safe
haven you have to earn and defend it
water also plays a larger role in this
game much of the exploration takes place
afloat as sections of the island have
become waterlogged this means that you
will eventually have to face submerged
Azam bees throughout your journey as if
this wasn’t challenging enough you will
have to contend with battles during
periods of reduced visibility with the
screen becoming filled with torrential
rain and fierce winds adding to the fun
there are all new mutated zombie types
which will try to grab your boat to slow
you down or force you out of it entirely
these new enemies include such
variations as grenadiers zombies who
have the ability to throw explosives at
you overall there will also be many more
these on screen simultaneously than ever
before to counterbalance this the zombie
respawn system has been dramatically
overhauled wall zombie still reappeared
in areas that you have cleared the game
will take numerous factors into
consideration such as if you are
currently on a mission how recently you
visited the last area your health status
and whether or not you were traveling
alone like before the action once again
still focuses on melee combat over
ranged weapons even though guns now
appear almost immediately there are also
many more schematics and weapons to
experiment with than ever before and you
will be encouraged to switch regularly
rather than horde items the four player
co-op returns as well with several
welcome refinements zombies will now
display their level more clearly to all
players while player level limitations
between co-op partnerships have been
completely removed
moreover the game now rebalances itself
to find a difficulty middle ground so
players a varying experience can still
have a good time together
speaking of which connectivity with
friends has also been made easier as
those on your friends list can now
seamlessly join your party and players
will be prompted when one of their party
disconnects the highly anticipated
continuation of the thrilling zombie
franchise Dead Island Riptide is
