BuyDead by Daylight (PC)

Dead by Daylight (PC) is an asymmetrical multiplayer survival horror game. A group of up to four survivors tries to escape from a nightmarish place where a supernaturally powerful killer tries to sacrifice them to a malevolent god.Dead by Daylight allows players to play both sides of classic slasher movie stories, and taste the dread and the power of survivors and killers respectively.

Five survivors

The base version of Dead by Daylight features five different people who were pulled into the nightmare realm where they are forced to endlessly run from monstrous killers. Dwight Fairfield, Meg Thomas, Jake Park, Claudette Morel, and Nea Karlsson are people from very different backgrounds, and with very different talents, but the one thing that keeps them alike is being a part of a sick game conducted by a malevolent entity.

Four killers

To counter the cast of playable survivors, the core game offers a daring player a selection of four killers. The Trapper, able to leave snares to damage and slow down your victims, a stealthy Wraith, the teleporting Nurse, and finally the Hillbilly with his chainsaw and vicious hammer.Each of them play on a classic slasher killer trope, and each has its own way of finding and killing its victims. Which brand of killer resonates best with your favored playstyle? Find out for yourself.

Procedurally generated maps

Base version of Dead by Daylight features four different locations, each separated into several maps used as a frame for procedurally generated levels. You will never run or hunt on the same map, but some things remain constant: the sacrificial hooks, the generators, and the feeling of dying hope. Who will have the upper hand when neither side has prior knowledge of the hunting grounds?

Dead by Daylight gameplay: survivor

Playing as the survivor is a harrowing experience. To escape you must fix the generators, but the closer you are to fixing one, the less likely you are to notice the killer closing in on you. The killers are faster than you, so you must outmaneuver them and throw obstacles in their way. You can wrestle free of their grip or from the sacrificial hook, but will you be strong enough after all the traps and close encounters to flee before the Entity claims your essence?

Dead by Daylight gameplay: killer

In Dead by Daylight you can feel like Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees or Leatherface. A brutal killer who can't be defeated and always seems to be closing in no matter how hard the victims run. Track your quarry by the sounds they inadvertently make. Use unique powers and abilities to close the distance, better snare them, or flat out kill them in a single stroke.Do you have what it takes?

Aside from the game itself, Dead by Daylight – Deluxe Edition contains digital artbook, where players can find character and location designs, and see how they change throughout the development process. Deluxe Edition also includes the game’s soundtrack, which will certainly fit any horror themed party. Aside from Dead by Daylight-related content, the Deluxe Edition contains two unique masks for other Starbreeze Studio’s game – PAYDAY 2.  

Gameplay

DbD features two different gameplay styles. As a survivor in the slaughter realm, the player must repair generators to power up doors, that will lead them out of the arena. The player controlling the killer will chase other players and try to sacrifice them to the Entity -  “god” of the game. Survivors are able to use various objects on the arena to stall the killer, as well as hide in the lockers to evade capture.

Story

The Entity, a malevolent deity, is awake again. The cruel monstrosity uses its dreadful powers to summon people into the dimension it created. The innocent become the prey of serial killers, who will do anything they can to sacrifice the survivors, thus quenching the Entity’s bloodlust. Can the trapped survive the night of slaughter and complete the Entity’s trials,  or will they be dead by daylight?

Reception

Dead by Daylight received positive reviews from the critics. Many praised the game mechanics of the game, including the co-op system and different experience between playing as a survivor and the killer. Among the most praised aspects of the game were the atmosphere, created by the ambient sounds of the players’ surroundings, amplified by the horrific soundtrack and the gory design of the realms and killer characters.

Every fan of survival horror video games should consider buying Dead by Daylight. Behaviour Interactive’s product is far more than JUST a game, though. With it ambient music, chilling atmosphere and sense of dread seeping in from every corner, DbD can easily be called an experience.
