Dead Frontier 2

"Dead Frontier 2" is a free to play zombie survival horror game (available on Steam). It's an upgraded version of a browser based game that was released in 2008.

You basically start off in the hub area and then travel around the game world (a bleak post-apocalyptic city) to complete tasks and missions, usually given by NPCs. Upon completing them you'll get XP and cash which can be used to level up your character and buy weapons and items. And as you grow stronger, you'll be able to explore the more dangerous areas of the map and take on tougher enemies.

The missions reset every 24 hours and new NPCs appear at the base who'll give you new missions. But all these missions have the same template.

It's either: A) find a specific object or person in a particular building, B) Eliminate a certain number of zombies from a building or C) Loot a certain number of items from a building.

I have mixed feelings about the game. While fighting zombies is fun, the game feels repetitive: take on mission, go to location, complete mission, return to base to restock. Rinse and repeat. I'm starting to feel fatigued.

Sometimes in search missions you'll have to comb through an entire apartment just to find one object (like an inhaler or an engagement ring). The area is basically a maze of hallways and the object you're looking for can spawn in one of the last rooms you explore.

I've spent 80 hours on it over the last few days and I'm currently above level 30. The game is fun in it's own way and I play while listening to something on YouTube.

So I've decided to play the game for another couple of days. If nothing interesting happens, I'll probably delete my character and uninstall the game.

Garbage and boring when compared to cool first game. However i see they finally added some story missions so it may be a little bit better than just grinding stuff.

I played the original for a while back in 2008 (I remember you could choose to be a cook or a doctor). That's why I thought I'd give Dead Frontier 2 a try.

As for the story missions in Dead Frontier 2, they're interesting but you'll still need to grind XP and increase your stats or it will be difficult to progress.

BTW I just deleted my character and uninstalled the game a while ago. I returned to base after completing an NPC mission and a boss challenge and then after working on my inventory, I just decided I can't do this any more.

I just reinstalled the game. Played it for 2h, seen some improvements but game felt as tedious and not really fun as when i remember. Looting got a bit better, questing made money not a problem but xp is still lagging behind massively behind cash. And there are no variety in guns at low lvl. Melee is way too risky and not worth using as it was in first game where you could easily kite enemies with a katana. There stamina regenerates super slow, it should be removed all together. And boss battles are lame i had to waste 1k smg bullets to kill 3 bosses in same room. What is shit bs, everything has too much hp. You are reloading more often than shooting. Time to go back to enlisted and smash noobs with my gunz and tanks.
