Dead Island

Dead Island is an open world action role-playing game set in a holiday paradise gone mad because of a zombie outbreak. The story starts in the island of Banoi, a tropical paradise in the South Pacific, which is the ultimate getaway for vacationers. But this holiday paradise falls into ruin when a mysterious and contagious zombie outbreak plagued the island. The zombies in the game have different abilities. There’s the Suicider for instance, a zombie whose objective is to kill the player and explodes to cause damage to surrounding enemies. The game is played in the first-player perspective and is about combat and completing quests. Players earn experience when they complete quests and kill the enemies. It is an experience-based gameplay where players level up when they earn enough XP. And as players level up, the character’s health and stamina also improves and players also get to earn a skill point.
