![]() Amongst all of Dead Space 3’s new features, including cooperative multiplayer, an impressively deep weapon crafting system, and great side missions, the most notable change to come to the series is its approach as an action game with frightening monsters. At times the amount of Necromorphs thrown at you seems almost unfair as limbs cloud the screen and it really looks like an ocean of alien bodies. Here stress is created through combating hordes of Necromorphs. In the previous two entries tension was built through anticipation in Dead Space 3, the horror approaches players in a different style. It originally found its reputation through the amount of tension established during its missions. Amongst the crowded shooter market, Dead Space found its home as a great horror series. For action junkies, there’s bound to be more excitement than the normal difficulty, but that’s just right for the casual player like I am.The Dead Space series is renowned for its inventive approach to the survival horror genre. Floating around in space is an enchanting experience (coupled with a limited amount of oxygen on Issac).ĭead Space 3 is a fine, thrilling experience that will please fans of survival horror, if they can survive a little mindless objective completion tasks. Issac Clarke looks worn out from all of his adventures, but the world around him is a well-detailed wonderland, especially so when you reach the ice surface of Tau Volantis. Do you craft some much needed bullets out of scrap metal, mix that in with other materials to make a torque bar to grant you access to special locked doors, or use it to upgrade your suit for a little bit more oxygen when floating around in space? It won’t be long before your limited resources will start to make you reconsider what you make next. Players can create a standard machine gun or a plasma cutter or the combination of both, with a whole slew of other weapons waiting to be found, or unlock through blueprints that bring your favourites back from the previous games. Seek out a workbench and weapons or weapon upgrades can be fashioned out of spare parts you find lying around or using resources as ingredients for additional parts. ![]() And you’ll want to scrounge all of those if you want to have the nicest things.Ī new feature on Dead Space 3 is Weapons Crafting. It’s also one of the ways to really extract any hidden goods from them, be it med packs, or precious resources you fashion upgrades or other items from. Stomping on dead enemies is not just a good way to ensure what you were shooting at is really dead or just major stress relief. Out of bullets? Slow them down with some Stasis before you use your fancy telekinetic skills to throw their severed claws back at them for some major damage. But the general rule remains the same, aim for dismemberment. The rest of that horror takes the form of the Necromorphs who have some new forms they come in since the events of Dead Space 2. But soon, you kinda know when the Necromorphs will pop out while knee-deep in some… mud and being prepared for it when you can most of the time takes a little of that element of horror out of it. It’s hectic yet exciting to be all up in panic mode when a dead corpse reanimates and you just forgot to reload. I say Metroid because it loads you with a task, which you eventually complete amidst some mad panic-shooting and frantic corpse-stomping to make sure the life of them has really evaporated, before you’re faced with another task and then you’re in trouble, trapped in a room with a broken tram system that needs time you don’t have.ĭon’t get me wrong. If you, like me, haven’t actually played the first two instalments of Dead Space, it’s very much like a Resident Evil meets Metroid. You eventually get your feet on (or off) the ground on board the derelict ship Roanoke which is riddled with Necromorphs in search of Ellie. ![]() Your extraction is met with some trouble before you manage to shuttle off and meet with more trouble then because nothing really goes your way on Earth or in space. Human exposure to the markers cause humans to be infected with an alien virus and turns into Necromorphs upon death, waiting to violently slaughter the uninfected.Īfter the events of DS1, Issac finds himself in a Titan asylum and in the middle of a struggle between EarthGov and the Unitologists, who both want the information implanted in Issac from a Red Marker in DS1. A Marker was eventually built by human hands, causing total devastation by-Necromorph to the colony on Saturn’s moon, from which Issac manages to avoid before going into hiding. A Black Marker was discovered by one Michael Altman, whose discovery and subsequent assassination spawned the underground religion of Unitology who revere the Marker.
