Games like Dead by Daylight?

[Heart of the Sea]

I really love Dead by Daylight but I always felt like another game could do it different and succeed. Is there any alternative out there that stands up to it?

Good luck sadly. Friday the 13th has a very small community. All the others have completely died off.

There was one in 2014 called Damned and it is like Dead by Daylight but a lot more searching for keys. Interesting to check out

Monstrum 2 is looking like a unity tech demo of DbD from like 2015 and Last Year faster than you can say "wasn't this game supposed to come out last year?"

[MisterSpookyGhoul]

Last Year had so much potential but the dev's made a lot of dumb choices. We also had Hide or Die and that is just a dumpster fire that needs to go out.

Not really any other games like dbd that lasted for more then a month so idk what to really say.

There aren't any that are as refined as DBD. And that's a low bar to match. Also why DBD is as big as it is. They effectively have no competition

One that I tried that is very similar to DBD is an early access game called GOLD EXPRESS. It's from a Chinese dev team. The game was fun, but not a lot of people playing. They are currently reworking the game they said.

Identity V.

It's basically a dead by daylight clone with a cartoony anime twist.

It even has crossovers from popular Japanese games like Danganronpa and Persona.

AFAIK, it's mobile-only, though.

I loved Damned it's a shame it had kinda boring objectives for the survivors and the budget must've been what was left over from a Taco Bell run. The killers were a lot of fun to play and booby trapping the random objects for sound cues was a really neat mechanic.

Identity V has a PC client and it's hardly a clone considering BHVR helped work on it. I think they should take some ideas from V.

Soul at Stake but I don't know how well it's doing these days.

There is a game called Deceit that is kinda similar. Last I played it about a year and a half ago, it was quite fun. Steamcharts reports that it still has a healthy player population as well.

There is a mobile game called "identity V"
Very similar to Dbd but
80% of survivor have stunt skill
60% of survivor have more than 1 life
Survivor can tripple sprint
Full of double pallet
None of killer in that game can instant down
None of killer can hide terror radius

Resident Evil: Resistance is the closest I can think of. I would watch some playthrough of it and see if it's interesting though. It has an enormous price tag and if you're only gonna play for a couple of hours then I wouldn't buy it. I would also recommend buying it on a non-PC platform as their playerbase is bigger and they have a few features PC does not.

There were a lot of hackers on pc back when I tried it.

If you enjoy asymmetrical multiplayer then I think it peaked with Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow. They added a classic MP mode to the newest Splinter Cell, Blacklist, but It's hard to find public matches. Go in with 3 friends and you'll have an absolute blast.
