The first attempt clearly failed, i can partially agree, that discord store was a bad choice, but also shutting off their community by giving them complete silence was the worst decision ever made. As long as devs have learned from that and won't just run off again and leave everyone with dozens of questions, then i'd really like to recommend this and for ppl to support that.
Besides that, i think the game has a very fun gameplay concept and i think that needs to be recognized first and foremost, we can't review bomb games with negative reviews constantly and not giving them the chance to actually gain a playerbase, it's absolutely the opposite of trying to get a game to succeed actually. DBD wasn't built in one day, not even in one year either, it took dbd a LONG time to actually gain the platform they have now, so let's not be hypocritical.
So please people going into this, consider these few things and actually help a game to succeed that has a concept, that doesn't exist in this form and shape in the asymmetrical horror genre atm. Having just one game on top of that list constantly gets extremely tiresome and boring after a while, so something fresh and new besides dbd would be great for everyone who's a fan of the genre. I see similarities with l4d immensely, but overall it is definitely it's own concept and game and also original in what it does, so why not increase the size of games in your library in the horror genre with this addition?
I can see a future of both dbd and last year being successful together, without it taking away anything from either community, because these two games are so different and if you'd want something more fast paced, but also highly demanding in teamplay and coordination, then last year would be your choice, but dbd is the more slower paced and thrilling game, with a lot of big horror moments, that requires more map awareness and timing. Therefore i can conifdently say that both of these games can exist together and be successful. Let's stop the childish hate and comparisons.
If you love a class system with a little side crafting mixed, a fps that is fast paced and exciting, team communication, coordination and you overall just love horror and the idea of surviving the attack of a killer on different maps with 4 other teammates, then i can absolutely recommend it. Fun dialogues between the characters included and graphically it's very nice as well, it takes some time to get used to certain mechanics and figuring out what is the best way to take out a killer, but dbd also has a huuuge learning curve, so don't expect you'll be pro right off the bat.
A few more additions: The voice acting is really well done, definitely more professional especially by actors, where some of them got a history of voice acting for a big list of other known titles and i gotta give props for that. The atmosphere of the game with the music choice, the sound effects etc. are also very well picked in my honest opinion and contribute a lot to the horror vibes and feel, while playing.… Expand
