Dead Rising 4
Dead Rising 4

Action 06 December 2016

The fourth installment in a series of zombie-themed, third-person action games developed by Capcom. The story campaign brings a continuation to the storylines presented in the first installment. The player assumes the role of Frank West (appeared first in the original game) - a photographer trapped in a town overrun by hordes of zombies. During the Christmas period, he has to somehow survive through a period of several days, waiting for help to arrive. The player explores an open game world and completes many story-based missions and side quests focusing mainly on exterminating large numbers of undead. In combat, the player makes use of everything within the protagonist's reach. However, all the weapons get damaged and destroyed relatively fast, which forces the protagonist to experiment all the time - this means building more and more sophisticated weapons. Apart from the story mode, Dead Rising 4 offers a co-op experience as usual. In this mode, the players face subsequent hordes of zombies side by side.

Action 22 November 2013

The third installment in a series of original action games focusing on spectacular encounters with hordes of murderous zombies. The game was created by the fathers of the franchise - Capcom, though the player assumes the role of a completely new character here - Nick Ramos. As usual, Dead Rising 3 is set in an open environment, in which the protagonist completes a series of different tasks, eliminating entire crowds of zombies along the way. Sophisticated weapons made of various objects found and created on the fly are the hallmark of the series. Both exploration and elimination of enemies are also facilitated by use of different vehicles. In terms of visuals, the third installment presents a more serious art style, though the screen is still dominated by hordes of enemies and gallons of blood. What's important is that the maximum number of enemies that can be displayed on the screen at the same time is now three times larger than before. The graphics fully employ the potential of modern PC hardware and 8th-gen consoles.

Action 08 August 2006

One of the first Xbox 360-exclusive productions from the legendary developer Capcom. The game is characterized by dynamic third-person gameplay enriched with survival horror elements. The plot references the previous titles of the developer (the cult Resident Evil series, among others) and focuses on an uneven fight against hordes of bloodthirsty zombies. In the game, we assume the role of a reporter, Frank West, who arrives at a remote town in search of a scoop. He soon discovers that the local shopping mall has been overrun by the living dead. The protagonist faces the enemies using provisions found in stores and cafes, as well as everything that is currently at hand, starting from a pistol through a chainsaw to metal pipes and even tin cans. At some point, West is joined by non-player characters which makes the extermination of subsequent waves of enemies much easier.
