The game is thoroughly pleasant to look at, from the lively shop-laden streets to sleepy little villages and the misty mountains. In this aspect, the game's design truly shines. In addition to ghost and zombie-hunting, DreadOut 2 lets you occasionally roam the city before you set out to a new location. It employs more hack-n-slash gameplay with its gory simplicity. But, despite its honest attempt to become a true horror game, DreadOut 2 isn't spooky. The other one is fighting supernatural entities using melee weapons, usually an ax. The first one is to banish ghosts by snapping pictures of them using Linda's phone.
There are two types of missions in the game. Luckily, DreadOut 2 managed to counterbalance its poorly-written storyline with an enjoyable mix of action and adventure. The game-descriptive text and dialogues-is riddled with jarring grammatical errors and poorly-worded sentences, effectively robbing the story and character any sort of potential charm. While the plot is serviceable enough, the quality of the writing is subpar. Instead, you must also have good reflexes to avoid the spirits when they attack.ĭreadout really is an excellent horror game that will delight fans of Fatal Frame/Project Zero, and thanks to its superior graphics and spooky atmosphere, you will be sure to experience some genuine terror along the way.However, prepare to be frustrated as storytelling isn't the strongest suit of this game. You can't just rely on the camera to survive. And to make use of it, you must constantly change perspective from the usual third person view for moving the around, to a first person view for looking through the camera. The only weapon you have at your disposal is a camera, with which you can see and photograph the ghosts and demons. Playing the hero, a young high school student, you enter an abandoned town which, despite showing no visible signs of life, is the home of number of otherworldly spirits, which prove to be anything but friendly. The game starts to throw a series of terrifying events at you shortly after you arrive at your destination.
Dreadout is a psychological horror game in the same vein as the popular franchise Fatal Frame, in which you join a group of Asian students who travel to an old abandoned Indonesian city, where they find much more than expected.
