You can chat with other players over voice, trade items, beat up zombies for each other, and revive each other, but that’s the extent of your cooperation. The campaign mode is identical whether you’re playing alone or with three other people.Īnd when I say work together, I mean it in a rudimentary sense. The main game is built around multiplayer, allowing you and a group of people to work together, beating your way through each mission objective. As far as I can discern, there isn’t any story to Dead Island. If anything, it’s more like a first-person version of Gauntlet. This game is the equivalent of a much more deadly game of Dead Risingwith much less story, a more realistic art style, and a first-person viewpoint.
