Dead Effect 2 is a first-person sci-fi shooter set aboard a colonist ship overrun by zombies, mutants, soldiers and machines. You fight through the ship’s environments while advancing the campaign.
Missions combine shooting with rewards such as credits, experience and equipment. Use them to improve weapons, armor and body implants, and unlock or enhance special abilities as your character develops.
Play the story and special missions solo or in co-op, or take on other players in PvP. Additional mission modes include survival and infestation challenges.
Players who enjoy Dead Effect 2 often praise its punchy shooting, range of weapons and RPG-style gear and ability upgrades, with some appreciating its old-school sci-fi shooter feel. Others find missions repetitive and progression grindy; complaints also recur about the story being cut off behind DLC and clunky controls or menus.
