Game preview
“Dead by Daylight” is a thrilling asymmetrical multiplayer game that involves a ferocious killer and four survivors dreadfully attempting to survive a petrifying nightmare.
It’s a hide-and-seek game where the killer plays in first-person engrossed on tracking and killing the victims. The Survivors, on the other hand, play in the third person with a task to evade getting caught and tortured to death.
In the game, every character possesses its own distinct abilities, skills, and even perks. For instance, The Wraith has the ability to be invisible, however, it will cost the player it's cooldown time before the character is allowed to attack.
In a recent interview with Mathieu Cote, the game director, he was quoted saying that their most recent project of creating the game on consoles gave them the chance to make enhancements and improvements in the game as well as its core systems. This includes matchmaking and user interface. Cote added that the experience gave them a deeper understanding of the way gamers play.
“Dead by Daylight” is a major threat to the recently released horror survival game, “Friday the 13th the Game.” During the Xbox release, the latest game from Gun Media encountered several issues due to lack of day one patch.
