- Players seeking a multiplayer experience may want a game with explicitly described cooperative or competitive play.
Our take on Desert Of The Dead
The sunlight restriction puts a condition on the wanderer's unusual ability, so it is not available at all times. That ties its use to the environment, but limits the freedom to rely on it throughout the journey.
What is Desert Of The Dead?
A mysterious wanderer crosses the Wild West as people vanish and a virus turns residents of towns and cities into zombies.
Rumors point to government involvement. The journey involves fighting bandits in the desert, shooting from a train, surviving encounters, and facing zombies in narrow corridors. The wanderer also meets the people living in this world while uncovering its secrets and trying to save them. The main character has an unusual ability that can be used only in sunlight, making the time of day a constraint on its use. The game presents a succession of challenges across desert, train, and enclosed settings, with survival and combat at the center.
