What is Dead Effect?
You play a Unit 13 soldier who wakes from cryogenic sleep aboard a starship bound for a colony planet and finds its occupants attacking. In this single-player first-person shooter, you fight zombies through campaign missions, upgrade weapons, and use slow-motion and area attacks. Survive and Biohazard modes add more missions.
For you if...
- +you like dark spaceship settings and sci-fi horror
- +you enjoy upgrading weapons across combat missions
Not for you if...
- −you want an open world rather than separate missions
- −you prefer horror without frequent zombie gunfights
What players say
