This taste of the studio’s behind-closed-doors ambitions will offer a dungeon to explore, new weapons, and hellish enemies to encounter. Most interestingly, the content description says the add-on is a new game mode “based on Techland’s unreleased first-person fantasy slasher” of the same name. Hellraid has since been given a Steam page, offering up more clues on what Techland has planned for the surprise DLC. When Hell freezes over? More like this summer!ĭying Light – Hellraid DLC is coming soon to PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Techland took to the official Dying Light Twitter account to debut an ominous teaser video that features a demonic arcade cabinet and plans to launch the DLC for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One this summer. Sure, it takes some work, but damn, does it pay off indeed.The original Dying Light is getting some interesting paid DLC called Hellraid more than five years after the game’s launch. One of the most impressive and smooth ports ever released for the system, and proof that it is possible for impressive games to work on the platform. Which wouldn’t matter if it was a bad port, but it’s somehow the exact opposite. It takes the whole base game, its main expansion, and every other bit of DLC, big and small, ever released. It’s just a fantasic port, and a perfectly acceptable way to experience this incredibly fun game.ĭying Light Platinum Edition is the ultimate edition of an amazing game, now on a handheld.
There’s also some motion controls and aiming as well, which, while not critical, are definitely fun to play with. Best of all being touchscreen support, a feature of the console that is criminally underused. It runs smoothly, maintains a decent level of graphic fidelity, and comes with a whole host of Switch exclusive features to sweeten the cake. It might even be more impressive then the Switch’s Witcher III port. Surprisingly well, beyond any of my wildest expectations to be honest. How does it run? The answer? Very, very, very, well. No matter the action onscreen, the performance holds up.īut this is a Switch port, so there’s the question. Hellraid is especially impressive, it’s literally a whole other game inside of the game. There’s so much game here that I guarantee even people who thought they finished the game will find something new to experience here. The base game was huge, the expansion was big, and then there’s all of this other stuff. As well as a large collection of DLC quests, bounties, weapons, and outfits to discover. But there’s also an arena mode called Bozak Horde and an entire fantasy roguelike inside the game called Hellraid. Sure, there’s the expansion The Following, which added a combat buggy and crossbow for even more badass possibilities. And to be honest, I had no idea 90% of the stuff ever came out. Dying Light Platinum Edition also comes with all released DLC for the game. All of this came together when it came out for the best zombie game ever, and none of this is lost on the Switch. Once day ends and the terrors of the night are let loose, the already fun game becomes a tense and nightmarish beast.
The titular mechanic however, the day/night cycle, is what takes the game beyond. Combat is fun and weighty, and enemy variety is surprisingly varied for a zombie game. It manages to nail first person platforming and movement in a way almost no other game manages. It’s the kind of game where the minute to minute gameplay just never gets old. You venture across an open world, completing quests, collecting materials, and dropkicking zombies. It’s a first person survival horror game, with a focus on parkour movement and melee combat. It’s not as pretty as the other versions, but it’s not an obscured mess.įirst, a quick summary of Dying Light.
