If you like a challenge and don't mind a bit of a grind, Road of the Dead 2 will keep you driving for quite some time.Hey people! SickDeathFiend, me and the rest of the team are very excited to bring you our first game: Road of the Dead!Įscape the quarantined city by driving through a highway filled with ravenous undead, carnage and chaos while the military tries to stop you! They just need a bit of tweaking to make failure not quite so frequent, inevitable, or enraging. It's not that these changes or additions are unwelcome, and in fact they add a new layer of challenge and involvement to a familiar formula.
When combined with how ridiculously far apart the checkpoints are, as well as the way you have to wait for upgrades to complete, you have a game that feels like it's actively fighting you instead of merely challenging you, and for some people that's going to make it more frustrating than fun. Zombies take a ridiculous amount of damage before they fall off the hood, even if you're emptying entire clips into their faces, so early on if you get more than one clinger or have to reload, you're basically dead. The downside is that it feels like the difficulty has missed the curve and gone straight off the cliff, with what feels on a greater emphasis on grinding for upgrades over skill. There are quite a few surprises and changes in store, from the way you can use the landscape to your disadvantage and even some new enemy types and beyond, so make sure you refer to your Survival Guide whenever it gets updated.
The cutscenes are animated and fully-voiced, the environments are detailed, and the action is hard and frantic. Make no mistake, Road of the Dead 2 is a game with a massive amount of talent behind it provided by people with a passion for the genre. Not only will your characters' skills improve as you play through basic use, but by stopping in front of certain buildings when the screen prompts you, you can do everything from gather ammo (only the pistol has infinite bullets) to spend "RP", earned through basic play, on new weapons or upgrading your old ones, or even repair or enhance your car to avoid explosions. Road of the Dead 2Don't be afraid if you stink at everything initially. (It's okay, you'll keep any upgrades you bought or points you earned.) When you die, you'll be given the option of restarting at the last checkpoint you passed. You can blast certain obstacles to clear a path, like cars which will explode and damage anything around them, but you'll also need your weapon to, uh, forcefully dislodge any zombies that land on and cling to your hood before they attack and it's game over. Use to control your speed and steer, and the mouse to aim and shoot, hitting to reload.
This time, your heroes are two survivors desperately trying to escape the city, one driving while the other literally rides shotgun (or pistol, or SMG), dealing with any hazards in the way. It's aich-ee-double-hockeysticks on wheels once more when EvilDog and SickDeathFiend join forces again for Road of the Dead 2, the zombie-filled sequel to the 2010 original action game, only now with 100% more shooting and grinding.
