Melee weapons degrade over time (sometimes too quickly). Not being able to just spam attacks keeps the game feeling fresh long after you’d normally get bored with smashing up zombies. Human enemies will block, kick and attack from a distance and are usually the deadliest monsters around. Zombies are only dangerous in swarms, but more advanced “infected” will dodge your attacks.
As guns are rare in Harran, most of the combat is of the hand-to-hand variety.įirst-person melee combat can be tricky, but Techland gets it mostly right here. While “Dying Light,” is basically one big game of “the floor is lava,” combat is inevitable.

Agility points are gained by free running, survivor points are gathered by completing missions and power is tied to your combat prowess. Toward the end, leaping from rooftop to rooftop, stringing together slides, rolls and grappling hook maneuvers becomes incredibly satisfying.Īs you complete tasks, kill zombies and perform parkour stunts, you’ll gain experience points in one of three areas. As you progress, more complex moves become available. If you want to climb a ledge, you have to manually look at the ledge, grab it and vault over it. “Dying Light,” is much more akin to “Mirror’s Edge,” in that you will feel like your input actually matters to what is happening on screen. Games like “Assassin’s Creed,” and “inFamous,” have aped the discipline, but have usually boiled a complex activity into “hold A and move the stick to climb.” Ever since “Mirror’s Edge” gaming has had a fascination with parkour. Zombies infest Harran’s ground level, so to survive, Crane has to learn to clamber over rooftops, shimmy across ledges and leap from several stories up without dying. The faction’s leader is a parkour instructor, who teaches free running as a method for survival, and he passes that on to Crane. The main ingredient is the basic plot and setting that underpins “Dying Light.” You play as a government operative named Kyle Crane, who has been tasked to find a file hidden somewhere in the zombie-quarantined city of Harran.Īs soon as his feet touch the ground, Crane is nearly killed (some special operative, huh?) before being rescued by a group of survivors who make up one of two major factions vying for control of the ravaged city.
