The game is very fun as survivors. Dead by Daylight is my most played game ever, idk if this will replace it, but it does offer way more variety as survivor than DbD does, all while not being a buggy boring mess like Friday the 13th was.
I haven’t played as the Demon yet, mostly because it seems pretty difficult, even though I am a killer main in DbD. The controls while you are flying around in spirit form as Demon just don’t seem to be any good. I will try later on though.
Don’t buy the game for the SP content, it’s just a collection of short missions to unlock characters and cosmetics for the multiplayer.

Watched a stream of this for like an hour yesterday and it looked janky as fuck. Reminded me of that Resident Evil MP game that was indefinitely delayed.

My only concern. Can you play as Jake and Bobby Joe? If not I'm disappointed.

little bit of jank here and there but please dont even compare this to that game. This is much more polished and way more fun

A better comparison would be the RE MP game that was never delayed: RE resistance since it's 4v1, not deathmatch.

I really, really wanna try this but...40 bucks for a MP only game that could potentially die in 2 weeks time (wouldn't be the first time for a game of this type)...I just don't know, wish there was a demo for it.
Is the melee fun ? (Hit reactions/feeling/controller vibration etc), are the controls good ? Can you find a lobby easily?

How do short solo missions ruin the mp game?

Survivors with crossplay on get into matches almost instantly. If you want to play as a demon, then you have a bit of a wait, so far it's been average 2-3 min wait for a match in my testings to play the demon side.
Combat is fluid enough, melee is very simple hitting things and every once in a while dodging when needed. Different weapons have finishers, once you deal enough damage with a weapon you can trigger a execution like animation which deals big damage and looks cool. That is the jank part though in my opinion when you got a bit swirling melee, and like multiple players attacking same target, one can initiate the execution move which locks the other player out of hitting anymore cause it puts them in an unstoppable kill animation. Looks cool and cinematic but in big congested close brawls with many players it can get a little messy. Though it's lot of fun

Thanks friend for the thorough reply.
OK, so, there's 2 editions, is the deluxe one worth it for the skins etc ?
Cheers

There's no skins in the deluxe edition, just the season pass, which is 4 dlc packs; none of them are out yet.

Sorry man, I saw Ash and a bunch of Army of Darkness skeletons just mashing the attack button at each other and it just reminded me of seeing Nemesis and Jack Baker doing the same. The other aspects of the game seem interesting, though. I think it's just the combat that looks especially jank
Either way, I'm glad you're having fun - that's what matters.
I honestly thought they were one and the same lmao. Those RE MP games are quite forgettable, to say the least.

Resistance is quite fun, they should've just kept updating that instead of moving on to RE:Verse (and then never releasing it)

lol not even close. crossplay servers are down. Turn it off and you'll get a match within seconds. I had literally 1 second survival queues the whole day. Game is popping

I got a message last night that the servers were overwhelmed so I don’t think the game is dead. Enjoyed what I played.
Only one complaint so far from the 5 or 6 matches I have played as survivor. I wish they gave you the option to quit without penalty after you are killed and your team has made it clear they are not coming back for you. Should be a 2 minute timer or something where you can leave and keep your XP if nobody comes for your soul and they just drive away.

Things needed.
1.) Push to Talk
2.) When you are dead, let us watch the other players or something at all. Just sitting at your corpse for the entire match is super super boring and stupid, if I'm gonna stick around at least let me spectate in some manner.
3.) Faster advancement , dunno if it's just me but it feels like it takes forever to level up these characters.

You can follow other players when dead. Just tap left/right on the d-pad to toggle between other players on your team.

Im on PC, not sure what buttons this would be then, been tapping like everything and there is no onscreen prompts of what to press.

maybe arrow keys? There is a spectate feature

Are you using the spirit points to level up the characters too?
BattleMonkey

Yea the spirit points is what takes the long time it feels to earn. Even at low levels you gotta go through several matches for a single level up on these skill trees which are pretty extensive. Just feels super slow
