A first-person survival game with shooter elements. The gameplay in Dreadzone is about surviving inside a quarantine zone for the infected people who turn into zombies. The game forces us to explore the zone, gather resources, build & craft, as well as to eliminate enemies. We can play alone or in online coop.
Dreadzone is a survival game, in which we enter a world overrun by a virus that turns people into bloodthirsty mutants. The development of this game was handled by the independent studio Eshed.
In Dreadzone we watch the action from a first-person perspective (FPP). The gameplay takes place in one of the quarantine zones scattered around the world. We can find ruined houses, abandoned industrial complexes, but also underground or wild areas.
While exploring the zone, we primarily focus on gathering resources that allow us to survive, as well as serve us in producing useful equipment. Apart from food, the main source of which is hunting wild game, we also obtain various natural resources such as wood or ore, used for the production of weapons and tools, as well as for building shelters.
Weapons are important in the game, because the quarantine zone is a dangerous place. The threat is posed by both weather conditions and animals, as well as people living in this area. We get rid of enemies by using melee weapons and firearms, primarily pistols, rifles, and shotguns.
Not everyone from the zone is negatively disposed towards us. Some may trade with us or try to establish cooperation. Among the latter, we will find scientists trying to invent a cure for the virus.
The same virus in question also consumes our body, gradually taking control over us. If we mess up the matter, over time we will have no choice but to the group of monsters wandering around the zone.
Dreadzone transports us to the grim world of 2030, dominated by the Zeno-29 virus. It causes a disease, as a result of which people turn into bloodthirsty mutants. Quarantine zones have been established all over the globe, where infected individuals are placed to spend the rest of their lives, without endangering healthy citizens. During the game, we embody one of the infected, and how our last days will look largely depends on our actions.
We can technically play Dreadzone alone, but the game shows its full potential in online co-op mode.
