Dead Island will focus primarily on melee combat, with firearms and ammo being extremely scarce. Players bumume the role of an “everyday” character who was on the island of Banoi for vacation when a zombie outbreak suddenly hits. The player characters find themselves immune to the disease and soon they begin their quest to discover what exactly happened.

Fallout 3 comes to mind in terms of the style we’ll be seeing. Players will earn quests from some of the random survivors scattered throughout the island to progress the story. Since you are a normal person – swinging an axe to lop the head of the undead off isn’t exactly second nature, so you’ll be a bit sloppy at first. The game’s skill tree and experience system comes to play here as you can upgrade your proficiency and skills for the games many different objects – anything from an axe to a bat or even a tree branch can be used as a weapon.

It got boring pretty fast solo.

Lasted a bit longer with friends, but not very much so.

But to each their own.
