A fresh coat of paint goes a long way
Welcome to a new series my dear viewer, maybe one of these will be put up every. Anyways, welcome to the first installment in what I hope will be a series of long-winded recommendations by a raving wol… by a wolf that knows what he's talking about. I am your humblest of reviewers, Delta, and today I recommend to you, Into the Dead 2.
Introductions and formalities.
Now, my dear viewer, I hear you asking, ‘Now hold on there one fine minute, ain't that game old and just a runner with no real scenery and just some loss story?’ Why, yes, it was, but I would like to introduce you to the ten year anniversary update my dear viewer.
This update has one of the most intriguing of changes to have gone unnoticed, a complete rework of the game, graphics, set design, and a lot more. Let us get into it!
Graphics & environment
With the ten-year anniversary Into the Dead 2s graphics were bumped substantially, most levels no longer have a very close render fog in the main story for instance, and in general, the game looks sharp. With the updates to into the dead 2s environment in the main story it looks very cinematic. I would even argue this is one of the most cinematic mobile games to date. Let us pull some examples, my dear viewer:
Seeing a helicopter taking off mid level...
Seeing the CDC facility in flames as a presumed fire bombing attempt embers still flying…
And much, much, more.Let's not tarry here for too long, as I don't want to spoil much.
Optimisation.
This game is a runner, so it runs well on all devices on the market really, unless you bought one of those gaming toasters. I hate to be condescending as it isn't in my nature my dear viewer, but it's the truth. Though I will say, Into the Dead 2 doesn't look bad on low in the slightest. So you can enjoy ITD2 even on lower-range devices, oh joy. :3
Gameplay.
ITD2 is a runner, and some of the side stories add interesting mechanics like Walking Dead, Frostbitten 2, and Descent's flashlight/walking missions. So there is not much to say about the gameplay, if this isturn-offoff for you, I'd suggest you stop reading here to save your time. Now for those of you that don't mind runners, the gameplay is simple for the most regard, run, shoot, and dodge, on any level for you but the walking ones the game aims for you, it is simple gameplay. Now let us tarry no longer, and go onto the next subject
Monetisation
One thousand, four hundred characters later, we arrive at the most important part. Leave it to a dumb New English wolf to put it this far into a review.Aside from personal jokes, let's rant on shall we?As the game is five years old it inherently suffers from flaws in design from twenty seventeen, such as energy systems, and loot crates for weapon parts that only cost premium currency. I do not need to explain how these systems are bad, it just wastes both of our time doesn't it? However, don't fright. If you are a new player I would suggest that you pick up the VIP subscription trial, don't forget to cancel it, if you don't know how. Here's a helpful video.
Now what do you do with this shiny subscription? Well play descent and frostbitten 2:, one: because they are well written, though play frostbitten 1 & 2 in this case if you want the lore. Two and most importantly: they give the Railgun and Krumpus respectively with some easy zombie genocide, two of the best weapons in the game with a simple farming session, isn't some eighteen hundreds coal mining. These two weapons will serve you well throughout the entire campaign even at lower levels. Let's move on now.
Lore.
I may have interests in majoring in English, but that's far in the future. So I am not qualified to review this. All I can say is, it's good. The side stories are generally well written, but it wasn't originally a focus of the game for the main story; however, with the tenth anniversary as I said before more environmental storytelling was added making Into the Dead 2 cinematic and actually show Pikpok's team working on the game cares for the story.
Now with all that done, as my paws hurt as I did this all in (nearly - editing) one session on a phone,
We part for now, until we meet again,I am your most humblest of reviewers,
Delta, the Wolf.
