We might not know it but zombie apocalypse has began!..well in video games that is. There are a lot of zombie apocalypse games out in the market which includes the Resident Evil series, Walking Dead the Video game, Dead space and other zombie horror games.These kinds of games are not for the weak hearted as it may frighten the heck out of this gamers. But on the other hand, gamers who overcome their fears will enjoy a lot out of these games.
The zombie game that I'm into right now is called Dead Island. Unlike the Resident Evil Series, Dead Island is a first person survival game with no high-tech guns or fancy martial arts which makes it more realistic. In addition, you are gaining some levels and experiences to place skill points in your skill tree which looks more like an RPG game. The game is set in a resort island in Papua New Guinea where a zombie outbrake occurs where you, along with four other people are immune to the bites of those zombies. There are different kinds of zombies that you will encounter, which includes slow moving zombies(walkers), running zombies(infected), zombies with incredible strength but slow(Thug), ranged type and chunky zombie(floater), and exploding zombie(Suicider), a giant zombie(Ram), and a ridiculously scary and fast zombie(Butcher).
Ok
so here are some of the tips that may be helpful in killing this kinds of
zombies.
1. Try not to get in a horde of zombies.
> Running from a lot of zombies may save you a lot of time but if these guys followed you, it would be difficult to kill them all. If they are in your way, try to kill them one by one by going forward then back so that the zombies near you are only the ones that will attack you.
2. Kicking like a boss
> Kicking causes the zombies to be stunned so you have a chance to attack them, decapitate them or even chop their limbs off. Time your kicks right because if you fail, you'll take a lot of damage from them.
3. Use gas tank wisely.
> In the game, there will be some gas tanks lying around whenever I encounter a tough zombie. This tank can be used as a throwing weapon which deals a slightly strong damage or it can also blow up zombies by throwing knives or blades at it. Carefully position these tanks near the enemy and time it right.
4. Don't be a reckless driver.
> Now that you have a pick-up truck to run over those zombies, keep in mind that you still can take damage from the zombies if you are not moving. Driving these trucks are difficult so practice driving with it so it would take you to far places.
5. When running is an option.
> I mentioned awhile ago that you should prevent running. Well it depends on the situation. If a horde of zombies is after you, run back and attack and repeat the process, stay away from a lot of attacking zombies and run a bit further to have a chance to attack.
6. Be resourceful.
> You are going to find a lot of weapons lying around in the game, some are weak weapons and some are strong. Either way, try to get these weapons because all of your weapons loss their durability so it's best to have the skill where you can smash there heads with your foot while they are lying down.
7. Follow your quest map.
> If you are not sure what to do next, click on your quest and choose the quest that you would want to finish. You'll find it easier as you can just follow you map on where you need to go.
