What Dead Effect 2 is and who it suits
Dead Effect 2 is a sci-fi shooter for Android, set on the ESS Meridian, where the story returns to the dead space aboard the ship. It mixes third-person-style shooting with RPG systems for building a character over time. The listing gives it an age rating of USK 18+ and shows 4.24 stars from 209,365 ratings, with 10,000,000+ installs.
It suits players who want a story-driven shooter with long campaign play and a lot of gear to collect and upgrade. Those who like picking a character build and tuning equipment will find the most to work with.
Weapons, body implants and gear upgrades
The game includes more than 40 weapons that can be upgraded. Gear comes in sets, and the listing counts over 100 body implants and gear sets in total. Implants and gear are the main way to change how a character handles fights.
Upgrades feed into the character's development, so the same weapons can be used in different ways depending on which implants and gear are equipped.
Choosing personas and training a character
A player picks from three personas, and the listing says each one has a different personality. The personas are a way to choose the character's identity before the rest of the RPG systems come into play.
Character training and development run alongside the gear and implant system, so a persona grows through play rather than staying fixed.
Campaign length, missions and achievements
The main campaign is listed at 20+ hours of play. A separate set of special missions adds 10+ hours on top of that. The achievement system gives you a list of goals to work toward across both.
Together, the campaign and missions give the game a long run time for a mobile title.
Graphics, sound, narration and controls
The developer describes the graphics as console quality and says they use the latest Android and NVIDIA technology. Environments and effects are described as realistic, and the listing pairs them with movie-style sound effects and an atmospheric soundtrack.
The story is narrated by professional voice actors. For control, the game supports full game controllers and lets you rearrange its on-screen controls, so touch play can be adjusted to suit your hands.
