Dying Light is a zombie apocalypse-themed game set in an open world similar to South American slums and cities.
The game is mostly melee-based with the majority of fighting using melee weapons. There are more than 100 weapons that can be used, and more when players begin crafting new weapons.
Dying Light contains a dynamic day and night cycle. During the day, the player has to go out and scavenge for supplies to send back to the safe zones. They can also set up traps, save random survivors, and make their way to airdrops. The infected are slow, allowing the player to simply make their way past them, but their danger grows in numbers. The player can stay on roofs of buildings to stay out of harm's way.
When the sun goes down in Dying Light, the infected transform into something much more dangerous. They gain the ability to sprint after the player, and have increased damage, as well as the ability to jump and climb buildings like the player. In order for the player to avoid contact, they need to use their Night Sense to locate zombies in the dark to stay out of their way. If spotted and trying to escape their pursuers, the player can use distractions and traps to lower their numbers. Players can use sound to lure the zombies.
Online multiplayer has been announced for up to 4 players in the co-op mode. It has also been confirmed that the game will offer asymmetrical multiplayer. There will be a pre-order exclusive game mode that will allow the player to play as a zombie and join other players' worlds.
