Then, where ARPG element in this game? You can find it on various objects that can be found in the game and character skill system. What about the various statistical values ​​that characterize the typical RPG? Whether it can be found also in this game? Yes, statistics are applied fairly well in the weapon you use.

Before starting to discuss more about the weapons and skills, you'll want to get a general overview in advance about the form of the game Dead Island. The game begins with the selection of characters which are divided into four options. You can choose Xi'an sharp weapons expert, champion Logan throws a weapon, Full with the expertise to use firearms, and Sam B were able to make a blunt weapon to be deadly. Each character has its own style of playing and certainly a different skill.

However, a region has a limited area of ​​the game. A warning will usually appear once you cross the line that has been determined.

Your journey is not merely using the legs only. You can also find a car that can be used for various things. For example, some missions require you to carry heavy things that make escape impossible. At that time, the car is the right media. Moreover, the position usually takes the object and the person who requested it quite far apart. In addition, the car also became a fun means of transportation to transport other players. Yes, you can play along with three other players via online connection (Steam).

Why play with other gamers? Whether playing alone is not recommended? Playing solo is actually not a problem. Some areas are very difficult when played alone, but not impossible. However, playing with different characters have a distinct advantage. Therefore, the skill that is in each character will support the ability of the characters around him! More details can be found in the discussion about the skills later.

Variety of weapons and objects that you can find is one of the strengths of this game. Starting from the simple to the sword blade with stunning effects waiting to be discovered. By their very nature, the weapons can be classified into four types, namely sharp weapons, blunt weapons, firearms, explosives and weapons. If you pay attention to character introduction above, any type of weapon as if it was prepared for each character. So, what are the advantages and disadvantages of such weapons?

Weapons sharp when viewed at a glance just sounds more superior than a blunt weapon, right? How not? Weapons can be cut sharply, while the blunt weapons can not. Apparently, not so. Sharp weapon it could cut off the zombie's body and make it part of the body can not be used. However, blunt weapon can also be used to immobilize a zombie body parts in a way to break it! When you immobilize the zombie's hand, he can not attack with his hands. So also with his feet, which would make it fall and crawl. However, you should be aware; zombie can still attack you with how to bite!

Firearms can also be used in the same way. Users are also more secure from attack because he was attacking zombies from a distance. However, bullets for firearms are very hard to get! There are no zombies that carry bullets and only human enemies with firearms are brought! Fortunately, you will be able to create your own bullet. Then, what about the explosive weapon? This one type of weapon is disposable. So, you throw it into the enemy and enormous destruction will immediately scatter the flock of zombies attacking you. You should be careful when using these types of weapons because of the effect of local damage caused. Do not until you get an explosion!

As mentioned earlier, the statistics that characterize a typical RPG can be found on the weapon. Typically, a melee weapon (sharp and blunt weapons) statistic divided into Damage, Force, Durability, and Handling. While firearms consisting of Damage, Accuracy, Rate of Fire, and Reload Speed. Damage indicates the extent of damage from such weapons. This point plays a major role in activities to eradicate zombies and must always be considered. Therefore, the zombies have a level that will continue to increase as your level! So, do not expect to kill zombies with guns level 10 to level 5! Force statistics are very important for blunt weapons. Therefore, a large force would give a great impetus to the enemy and threw her down!

From all these statistics, another point to consider is Durability. Melee weapons will be less resistance every time it is used to attack the enemy! Thus, these weapons can be discharged resistance and loss of strength! Damage Not only are affected, the effects of weapons which you can attach to it also will be lost! Always pay attention to this point!

Weapons that you find can be strengthened through workshops tables! This facility can be used in addition to strengthening the weapons can also improve the resilience of the weapon. Always look for the table this valuable weapon whenever you begin to lose its value. All weapons in the game can be upgraded three times. Every time he improved his ability, the statistics also increased drastically.

In addition to upgrade weapons, workshop tables can also be used to create new weapons. To make it, first you must have the recipe first. Usually, you can find recipes for weapons through a gift from completing the task (Quest) and from the hidden box. Once you have the recipe, then you need to have weapons and materials requested in the recipe. For example, to add the effect of fire on a baseball bat, you need (of course) a baseball bat, fabric, oil, fire. All objects that you need can be found from the enemy, the game environment, and can be purchased. Effects resulting from the attack of homemade weapons is of course more powerful than ordinary weapons! Depending on the effect that you provide, the enemy is exposed to attack these weapons can be electrocuted, burned, and vomiting!

Another thing about the weapons you need to know is the color code. This code indicates the scarcity of such weapons and simultaneously signifies strength. The more rare a weapon, the more powerful. Usually, the weapons that you find white. This color is the lowest level and indicates a common weapon found. Others again when he started the blue and green! Weapons with this color typically have higher stats than similar weapons. If lucky, you can find a weapon with the color orange which is a rare weapon, and you should watch carefully!

Each zombie is killed and quests completed will give you the value of experience. Well, after reaching a certain amount, this value will increase the level of your character. The advantage of the increase this level of course to strengthen your character. In addition to increasing the resilience of the body and increase the attack power, you will also get a skill value. Use this value to buy a skill that will definitely help you to survive. In general, the skill is divided into three parts, namely the skill to Rage, attack skills, and supporting skills. Skill Rage is useful to help you gather rage gained when killing an enemy. Then, the rage is you can use to issue a special attack is very powerful for a limited time.

The next skill is useful to strengthen the attack. Typically, the skill of this section adapted to the character you use. For example, Xi'an will strengthen the attack with sharp weapons and Sam B can make an attack with a deadly weapon dulling. Supporting skills useful to help you in the not fight, such as enlarging the number of weapons you can carry, enlarge Durability weapons, the ability to open the locked chest, and give value to experience more of a conquered enemy.

Skill tree that you can learn is divided into several levels or Tier. To open an existing skill underneath, you must complete in full a skill in Tier before. Points to meet the needs of a variety of skill as well. Normally, you need three points to meet a skill. Although there is also a skill that requires only one point only. Unfortunately, Tier advanced open only when skill in Tier previously had a full course, not based on the number of skill points that have been allocated. So, you have to give up points in skills that are not required to open the next Tier.

Zombies in Dead Island is not only slow and easily killed. Various zombies you will encounter in your journey later. First, a zombie who will accompany you walk slow. However, the longer the line with the increasing level and region, the zombies will run towards you! In fact, they often emerge from unexpected places, such as from behind! To avoid this sudden attack, you should use a headset or speakers are pretty good. So, you can determine the position of a zombie from his voice.

In addition to regular zombies, you will also find special zombies who have power far above the others. At first, you will find Thug zombie that can not be dropped with kicks and blows on the feet. In addition, damage from the blow he gives is also very large. In fact, your character can be thrown far enough to the floor! To fix this, you should immobilize both hands first. Then, you will meet with the other special zombies are more dangerous, as Suicider that can blow away when it dies and Ram which will run towards you crashed yourself!

Any damage resulting high level zombies and special zombies is quite large. Therefore, you must find the right tactics to defeat every enemy. For example, to defeat the Thug with ease, you must often kick him and when he's angry roar, immediately attacked his hand! So also with considerable Suicider thrown with a sharp weapon to make it explode and Ram to be lured to crash into the wall. Variations in the attack and offered a variety of enemies tension makes Dead Island is very interesting to play! Moreover if you can play it with your colleagues.
