Dead Island Epidemic
Posted: Wed May 28, 2014 5:08 pm
So this is a new MOBA that just came out (BETA). It was added to my steam account yesterday, I'm guessing because I own Dead Island.
Anyways, first glance it is really fun.
There are two game modes, one is PvE, this plays a lot like Left 4 Dead except as a top down.
The other is 4v4v4 supply capture.
The story of the game is you're on a new island, except on his island some people have got the zombie virus except didn't turn zombie. They now use their mutated powers to fight zombies. Essentially, this just gives the game a more wide variety of playable characters.
The game is all about fighting for supplies. In PvE you go through levels, 4 player co-op, and fight waves at supply points with a final boss at the end. Better time/difficulty will give better rewards.
In PvP you have 3 teams of 4 that must fight each other capturing supplies and supply points all while getting assaulted with hundreds of zombies.
After any game/match you get rewards depending on how good your team did. These rewards 'character points', 'gear points', 'unbind xp points', as well as crafting material and blueprints. The points are, like named, used to buy gear and new characters.
Your characters level up increasing your power level (used for matchmaking), unlocking talent points and skills. All your weapons can level up as well as your crafting bench.
***Update, you can apply for beta on their website for a chance to get in, or you can now buy the starter packs on steam store. The most expensive one, $45 includes 4 of everything to give to friends and only cost $5 more than the last.****
