Dead Island: Epidemic Steam Charts & Stats

Do you like LoL? Do you like Dota? Then screw you too! This game is beyond the two in a great MOBA style environment which doesn't make you rage as hard as the latter. Zombie mayhem, bloodied bodies flying to the ground all around you leaves you satiated and ready for more. The community is quite small, but when it is released completely, and F2P, there will be more gore than ever! Many characters to choose from, and many more in arrival! Currently there are very few bugs such as: Map glitch: Map doesn't show you as going anywhere. (Fixed with simple rejoining of the game) Lobby Bug: Readying up? Too bad, the button doesn't work sucka! (Usually a one-time occurance) Ready Button DENIED!: Sometimes the game launcher doesn't actually show as launched and you stay in the lobby! (Quite Rare, has NOT happened to me, but has happened to a friend of mine) This game is definently worth the $0.00 I got it for, and I thought that so much, I bought the DEADicated Pack for $40 bucks! So yes, I would buy it for $40.00 and I am happy with my purchase, and I am sure you will be too! Don't let people trick you into not getting this with their bad experiences and probabal continuous loss in a Scavenger game, play it yourself and find out!

This game is a departure from all the cookie-cutter MOBAs out there in several ways: It offers a multi-player PVE experience where you secure supply points, clear hordes of zombies and beat a boss at the end of the map. So far I have experienced 3 different stages in this mode, each one of them selected at random, and there will be more in the future. There is also an innovative "PvPvPvE" mode where 3 (3) teams compete against each other for collecting and controlling supplies and supply spots in the map (similar to capture the flag) while fending hordes of monsters and the other 2 enemy teams. Before battle, characters can be customized with different types of weapons and items; one ranged and one melee (which can be toggled by pressing "C") and consumables which can enhance their abilities or simply heal. All characters have a dodge maneuver activated by pressing the space bar. You have a light and a heavy basic attack using lef/right mouse buttons, plus 4 special abilities unique to the character chosen, similar to other MOBA's. There are extra modes which can be unlocked by leveling up the account. There are no minions following any paths, but Zombies and monsters that spawn and attack players of any team. Aside form in-game leveling, your characters level up individually and permanently, unlocking skill and weapon buffs. Each character has bonuses that usually apply to one type of weapon. For example; Sam-B is good with melee weapons, even better with Heavy-type melee weapons, but has weaker attack with ranged weapons. You can build stronger weapons using in-game loot and your work bench. The weapons can be used by any character. Using WASD keys to move gives it the flexibility and arcade feel that most MOBA's lack, making it more fun and intense but yet simple and fool proof as the player isn't reliant in clicking to allow the software's auto-path function to potentially get your avatar killed. Also, I find unit collision dynamics/physics better than in the currently more popular MOBA's. The game is still closed Beta and it is already showing a lot of potential. So far I am pleased with what I have experienced and cannot wait for more content to be released.

Pros +Not a Pay to win game, all characters, weapons and other items are obtainable by hard work playing the game itself +PVE mode offers a bit of a open world experience +PVE mode offers challenge from deadly difficulty onwards +Characters equipment can be customized depending on the users choice +Has a lot of character in roster to choose from with unique skills and passive abilities +Not so toxic community so far +Daily reward for PVE if you finished a game and PVP if your team wins Cons -Some characters are expensive when purchased using in game money -Duplicate drops of weapons and mods could be annoying to some people -May experience random lag sometimes and Red Ping on Asian countries -PVE could get boring as you play it repeatedly -Long waiting time for both PVE and PVP sometimes -Deadly and Endemic mode difficulty in PVE is sometimes impossible to get all gold because of overpowered creeps -If someone got disconnected in PVE it means your team could either get silver to nothing and there is no compensation (like weakening the creeps) for loosing a player while in game -PVP is currently messed up there is no ranking system of somekind to sort things out since the population of this game is considered small so far -Sometimes there are fixed teams (group/party) in PVP that farms players with teamates who they randomly meet because of the system of the game and the odds of winning against them are quite low especially if your team mates are lowbies even the game mechanic is 4v4v4 -Reports of cheaters in game but they are not widespread at this moment

When I first look at this game, I was like "no way it must be a joke right?" then when I played it, I am in love with this game, its really awesome and full of fun, plus we get to move anywhere instead of just click and go there, this is simpler, plus its the FIRST ZOMBA!! I LOVE IT, GET IT OwO P.S: they kinda made Berg sound like a evil crazed fighting dude, I was sort of thinking of his voice would be one of the guys from One Piece, a guy who voiced as Cutting Flam (or Big Bro)

Great Game! addictive but need a little kick to the variety of map. Long to reach good lvl to bring good weps to fight! but its a good game whit a huge variety of funny build wep. But We need more stuff soon!!! (map, loot, event, boss, game mode, etc.) ! At final its really a good start for this game! If the company still evovlving this one, he gonna live old lol:)

I love this game. Seems production has slowed and servers are a crawl now. Literally cannot play North American servers. You're forced to play on EU servers for players. Then if you like range like me, it sucks to deal with the lag associated from EU servers. Then if you do find a North American server going(will be 1 at the most at once going), if you miss rotation on it you will be waiting 12-20 minutes for that match to end, so you have a chance to join(keyword chance). Which sucks.... Besides that this game is very good, I love it. Just wish I could play on North American servers..... Maybe advertise the game better....

Not played a lot of MOBAs apart from a bit of DOTA 2 which I didn't enjoy much, but I really love this. Its gameplay is like L4D(similar zombie types), but also fighting against enemy teams. The PvE is OK to get you started, but the PvP is where the fun is. The idea in Scavenger/PvP(4vs4vs4) is to deliver supplies to your truck, whilst preventing the other teams from doing the same as well as fighting zombies. You capture flags similar to Battlefield conquest, but there is also a boss that drops loads of supplies if you kill him, but the trouble is the other teams will be waiting for you to become weak and steal them off you. There is a lot of tactical and strategic depth to it, and teamplay is essential. If you're a lone wolf, you will lose- you'll either get ganked by the other teams or will succumb to a special zombie. I'm having a whale of a time and have found several regular players to team up with who I gel with. My tip is don't waste time complaining when you're losing(bad for team morale and cohesion). There are many ways to steal a win or at least come second.

Nice one. Reminds me of Dota2 sometimes, but there you have more options and interesting gameplay with your teammates. PvP mode is much fun too. It's good that it's playable without donation. After edit. Have five 20 lvl characters and 31 account lvl. Where the end?

Genre - Horror Isometric MOBA/Action Survival I love all of the Dead Island Games, Diablo, Gauntlet and am a very casual DOTA 2 gamer. I think this game works well as a F2P as it is possible to farm points while still enjoying the game to unlock characters. I got the starter pack when it was on sale so got 4 characters to choose from and enough points to get more. Weapons can be crafted and are upgraded via use. This happens between games, and unlike DOTA 2 you actually get some character progression to carry over. You still level up within game but you will have added perks, more inventory and better weapons. None of which messes with the balance too much but adds a little bit more to come back to. You will either play horde, basically 4 player survival mode (where death means more time taken and a worse medal) or scavenger where three teams of four basically play capture the flag with zombies. Both these modes are fun, although it would be nice if they could think of at least one more balanced mode for variety's sake. I did have a problem where I got some extra character points incorrectly (their fault), and then them and the character I bought were removed. This wasn't my fault and seemed a bit harsh. As yet I haven't had a satisfactory response Despite of this though I still came back for more though, which with my grudge bearing temperament says a lot about the actual game!

No real Contents update since 4 months ago. about 90% of the player base have left the game, and the devs seem to have abandoned the game as well. RIP epidemic! thx for the 800hrs of fun we had together!
