Your first priority is to stick together. All 4 types of enemies have their own unique melee attacks and abilities. You are can control 4 different types of the slimy Necromorphs, including the Spitter, Puker, Lurker or the newly incorporated enemy “The Pack.” Your mission is to hunt down the humans in their fight through the Necromorph-infested Sprawl. Let us give you more insight into both parties: Along with 3 other friends you can now team up as the horrific necromorphs to slice up the team of humans with gruesome melee attacks. You either choose the side of the humans or the Necromorphs in 5 objective-based multiplayer maps. So the question remains: are you ready to strategically dismember your friends?ĭead Space 2 multiplayer is set up 4 vs 4. Visceral Games competently shows us that multiplayer elements can be properly incorporated into a traditionally single-player genre without letting the single-player experience fall by the way side. Multiplayer or co-op elements in horror games is a tough thing to accomplish, possibly even something that shouldn’t be done according to many hardcore fans of both horror and the previous Dead Space titles. How does it work? Does it take away from the horror feel? And the most important question: Is it fun? Rely on Horror went hands-on with the Dead Space 2 multiplayer in San Francisco to give some answers to these looming questions. For the first time, the gruesome horror experienced in Dead Space can be shared online with your friends.
