The survivors need to work together to destroy five hives, while it’s up to the Volatile to stop the survivors from doing so.Īs the Volatile, you’ll be able to unlock a number of skills as you kill survivor after survivor that will make you even more deadly than you were before. If You Can't Beat 'Em, Join' Emĭying Light includes a special multiplayer mode called Be the Zombie, an asynchronous 4v1 game mode that pits up to four survivors against one player-controlled Volatile. There are more infected enemies you can encounter, but you can find those out for yourself when you play Dying Light. Thankfully, Dying Light rewards players with twice the agility and power earning power when you travel at night, although you’ll probably die way more in the process.
The Volatile is the main reason why I felt a bit of real anxiety when I ventured out at night as they’re extremely fast, agile, and ferocious when attacking humans. You’ll fight your standard zombies, known as Biters, Runners, which are much more agile, heavy zombie types that require more effort to take down, and the most terrifying: Volatile. Speaking of killing things, Dying Light has a large number of enemies that you can beat, blow up, and cut down, with an equal variety.
#DYING LIGHT VOLATILE JUMP ON ME UPGRADE#
As helpful as that is, it’s still a major annoyance to have a weapon I worked so hard to upgrade and modify into the ultimate zombie- and bandit-killing machine to only wither away into nothing just because I favored using it. As Crane is upgraded, I was able to unlock a skill that gave me a better chance of a fix not counting towards a weapon’s limited number of fixes. Early on in the game, I was very selective with what I attacked as my weapons were only able to be repaired two or three times, at most. On the other hand, Techland decided to allow weapons to only be fixable a set number of times. This is a great improvement over Dead Island’s methods as there was nothing more annoying than having all of your weapons broken and no workbench in sight. Instead of having to run to a workbench to tweak your weapons, you’re now able to fix, upgrade, and modify your weapons while on the go. In Dying Light, Techland decided to change how weapons degrade and how you upgrade them.
Even though Dying Light attempts to keep its gameplay balanced through these three major skill categories, I still felt using Crane’s parkour skills was the best course of action considering the weapons are even less durable than they were in Dead Island. By unlocking abilities within the three skill trees, Crane will be able to move around at a faster pace, exert less energy when performing melee attacks, and be able to carry more weapons inside of his backpack. When Crane first starts out, he’s pretty weak compared to his evolution into a lean, mean, zombie-killing machine. Survival skills, on the other hand, can be earned through story progression, completing side missions, or completing other tasks around Harran. Both Agility and Power skills can be unlocked as you perform more parkour moves or attacks. Crane’s response? “Wait - you’re responsible for this? You saved everybody’s lives with your lessons!”Īs you make your way through Harran, you’ll be given the opportunity to upgrade Crane in one of three categories: Survival, Agility, and Power. One piece of the story that stuck out in particular was learning your leader used to be a parkour instructor, which is why a lot of members of the group are able to perform it, including Crane. While Dying Light doesn’t offer as many moments that are perfect for eye rolling, the story is still hokey as there were some moments that I gave an audible sigh in response to its story. Techland was largely criticized for their B-movie style of storytelling for its Dead Island series.
Both factions fight for precious resources while Crane himself is torn between completing the mission he was sent for and protecting Harran’s survivors. Crane finds the city has been broken up into two separate factions: Runners and Bandits. In Dying Light, players assume the role of undercover operative Kyle Crane, who has been sent by the GRE to infiltrate the quarantined city of Harran as survivors fight to survive the infected.
