Dying Light 2 on Android

Dying Light 2: Stay Human on Android

A much-expected follow-up to Techland’s 2015 zombie-slashing parkour action RPG Dying Light, Dying Light 2: Stay Human, is now out and the fans are playing it on various platforms. The game lets you play as Aiden Caldwell, a Pilgrim, one of the few survivors of a zombie epidemic, foolish enough to wander between the zombie settlements in a quest to find his sister, Mia. The quest leads him to the walled city of Villedor, one of the last remaining settlements on Earth.

The city of Villedor is a very detailed place to explore and meet new characters. The city has begun to be reclaimed by nature, thus, there is far more vegetation than there was in the original game. Farming and more sustainable methods of life have become more common among survivors, rather than scavenging for food.

All gameplay takes place from the perspective of a first-person shooter character. The protagonist’s main abilities remain unchanged when it comes to jumping, falling, swinging, and fighting while the players get an immersive, exciting, and at times, quite a cruel perspective of the game’s world.

Visuals

Dying Light 2: Stay Human gives a stunning visual experience even if you are playing it on an android phone. A photo-realistic appearance is achieved thanks to environmental effects. The Facial animation is done really well, making the characters appear incredibly lifelike.

This sequel to Dying Light concentrates upon the concept of day and night cycles, thus, Dying Light 2 keeps its remarkable lighting effects. In terms of sound, many video games include dynamic music, but Dying Light 2 seems to take it to a whole new level, adding some good sound effects. For instance, as you gain speed, the background music reacts to your momentum.

Gameplay

Although it starts out at a glacially slow speed, the impressive visual quality soon gives way to a thrilling gameplay experience. In the very beginning, Aiden’s skills are limited, making it tough to move around the city and engage in combat. He can’t jump or climb very high without quickly exhausting his energy reserves. Also, he can’t use any kind of exotic weaponry to take down opponents.

It’s the side missions and chance encounters that will give you the powers that will make things that much simpler, even if you can just fire it through the major missions. You will be able to significantly improve Aiden’s skills as a fighter and parkour expert by spending a significant amount of time simply performing side missions and exploring.

When the night comes…

During the daytime, running across rooftops is the best way to evade zombies. But when the night falls, zombies such as volatiles — undefeatable zombies that will chase you until you reach safety.

High-rise buildings in the downtown region are where the fun and exploration start up. You can climb these buildings with pully mechanisms and explore what’s inside. The parachute that you can get later in the game makes it exciting to fly over the city. Aiden almost feels like Spider-Man as he unlocks the grapple and starts swinging from skyscrapers and leaping across the tops.

Aiden’s powers – fighting, and parkour have their own separate skill trees throughout the game, each with two levels of difficulty. Experience points can be earned for one or both of these fields through accomplishments. GRE inhibitors can also be found in special boxes left by the covert GRE organization from the original game. As a bonus, GRE inhibitors may be used to boost Aiden’s stamina, allowing him to climb and battle for longer periods of time. With these enhancements, Aiden can run, jump, climb, and battle like a superhero. It’s at this point that the game really shines and rewards players for their patience as they learn the ins and outs of the game.

In addition to attribute enhancements, players have access to a variety of weapons, gear, and clothes that may either be purchased or collected from the environment. It is possible to modify weapons and clothes with materials found in the wild in order to make some really dangerous equipment.

There are several factions in the city. Players are occasionally asked to choose factions that have an impact on the missions they are given. Peacekeepers (PKs) or survivors can be chosen as allies by the players. The renegades are at a fight with both and attack them constantly. Of course, there are also a lot of zombies on the streets.

In each of the city’s districts, strategic places can be found. Liberating these locations allows the player to choose which faction will rule the district. Survivors tend to build parkour-friendly infrastructure like zip lines and bounce mats, whereas PKs stock their automobiles with weapons. Throughout the city, windmills may be activated to open up new settlements and trading hubs.

Up to four additional players can join you in the game online. In addition to a server browser, there is also a “drop-in, drop-out” casual multiplayer option that’s a lot of fun.
