Similar games

[Erika]

I really liked to play this game. But I do not like how it is balanced and the cheaters. I wish this would be fixed but right now it feels like this game is dying and will be forgotten and fade away.

So what I am wondering is if someone knows of any similar games? I already know about dead by daylight but are there any others?

Though if you go in as a killer role imagining you'll do better than in this game. You'll likely rip your hair out even further, since its way easier for survivors in that game. Just find an infinite loop, and watch the killer tears roll down.

I don't think a lot of people realize how balance in these games work, or why it will never be 100% balanced.

wow... 3 years later and they'll still let them infinitely hop through windows or pallets? the only reason that game ever lasted was because there was nothing else int he genre whent hat first came out. if there was, it would probably have been as dead as this game within it's first couple or few months. this genre is pure trash.

Very doubtful. There's a lot of these games on the market now they could jump to, but dbd remains popular because of all of its variety and open-ness. It's a good game for what it is, and the reason its my most played game on steam with often over 30k active players.

If you really wanted to try others there's this, f13, hide or die, gold express, deathgarden, evolve, predator hunting grounds and identity v. Those are just the games i've tried, but there's definitely offers. Just none of them stands up to the amount you can do in dbd.

Infinity loops is scarce. I only know 1 with certainty and is getting removed as we speak by every update, to further ensure making it impossible. You don't win from looping alone, and there's no loop right now that is 100% safe, and most killers can counter it in the few left there might exist.

Also mentioning pallets already showcases your lack of knowledge of dbd. There's barely any pallets anymore, and can be broken. So mentioning it as an infinite is just really silly.

But you're also the person who said they should balance around the 5%. So I assume you're new to this genre.

the only reason they kept playing it is the sunk cost falacy. they invested a lot of time and grind. and some of them money on the dlc that comes out every 2 or 3 weeks. that's the only reason why. dbd was actually the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ one I played in the genre, but it came out first (yes I know not literally first, but evolve had 100 dollars of day 1 dlc and was destined to die immediately) and got the headstart. I've played better ones in the genre though.

Do you actually believe that?

Majority of my friends on steam has dbd as their favorite game, and its certainly not because of the grind.

It is also one of my personal favorite games.

If you really think these games are so bad, maybe you should consider the fact its not a genre for you and move on, and let the people who are into them enjoy them for what they are.

F13 was my favorite one until the devs ruined it.
Gold Express comes second, but it looks (and sounds) kinda cheap, the devs buffed killers too much and it had no playerbase.

Gold express lacked atmosphere, viability and the overall gameplay was just stiff. They're re-making the game though, so i'm interested if it will help.

I absolutely loved f13, because people roleplayed and took it less serious. While I don't think it could ever compete with dbd, it was definitely very fun. It's a shame the lawsuit happened, but I think unless they introduced new killers it would fall under the repetitive gameplay quite quickly too.

Deathgarden was the worst of the genre i've played. Just completely lackluster gameplay and there's no teamwork whatsoever. It was just a matter of spamming drones and jumping from point to point and hope the survivors could hide in time.

Even the killers were just the same with 1 different ability to make them stand out, and it barely did for that matter.

I really disliked deathgarden despite putting 100 hours into it.

Surprisingly the people who often complain about this genre don't play deathgarden. It's the most equal experience out of them all, but its also the reason its so boring because of the lack of variety and same-way games over and over, but it tends to be what people ask for in balance.

F13 didn't need too much content to stay interesting in the long run. The gameplay was just that good. A new map once in a while would have been enough.

The new Hide Or Die got boring after 2 weeks or something despite the devs updating the game several times.

I'm not sure... I did like the variety in objectives, but I don't think the samey killer type of jason would suffice for me.
At least they nailed the atmosphere

and yeah hide and die got remade.... but it's still bad.


I got quite excited for ashland, but apparently dbd copyright claimed it... So that's gone.

Wow, one more reason to hate DbD.

Don't run to get caught. Run to escape the killer and hide. Not possible? Blame developers for butchering stealth.

You mean give free guaranteed wins to premades? Even against solos it's incredibly hard to make 4 kills in that game already. Ballance there is pure trash. And thinks like letting last survivor escape via hatch for free because he sucks at game and lost the gen battle only proves that.

Do you actually play dbd? Because it doesn't seem like you do.

With the map pressure dbd has. Hiding is counter efficient.

It is not about greed, but rather what the players wants. It was a highly requested feature, which should be in the game, but adding voice chat or text chat would anger a ton of people. As much as I would like it. You also know people would abuse it. Dbd already has an issue with toxicity and exploits, and 4 player pre-mades only make up for 5% of the players anyway.

Nor is it a guaranteed win. If you're good. You can almost always win. If you suck against solos, you're honestly just bad at the game. I've been rank 1 with both, and its super easy against solos if you know what you're doing and have experience. Pre-mades are really rough, and requires an exceptional skill, but it is possible to beat any group if you're good enough.

Hatch can be closed by the killer. It's just a last stage minigame of who gets to it first for more extra thrill instead of just going 'oh. i'm just dead now'.

Because you can't do gens solo, when the killer can patrol them and just hit them to decrease the progress. Doesn't work. That's why hatch standoffs were added.

Nor do your explaination count for the rest I mentioned.

Had 550 hours in it. Dropped years ago when i realized game only becomes worse with every new update. There is no reason to play this piece of crap, while games like Last Year or Resistance exist, because they offer actual gameplay, and not an object looping simulator.

You 4-kill in almost every game against randoms on rank1? I smell a liar here.

If you fine with 5% of players being premades, you should be also fine 5% of players in Resistance cheating. Because, you know, it's not impossible to win against cheater too. Just will almost never happen, but not impossible.

Hatch punishes killer for playing good by making his suddenly lose the game because of... rng. And it rewards survivors for sucking. Great mechanics.

just googled it, it really did look like dbd visually lol, apparently they're moving it off of steam and the game will still go on and be acquired off of their website or something so if anybody has that info ont heir website and if it has a new name share it since now I'm curious. god bless chinese defiance of international copywrong ha ha ha lmao

Dead by Daylight, compared to this game, is the what Mortal Kombat is to Street Fighter.

street fighter was also good, they're both good, so bad examples since dbd is pretty basic and designed to entertain toddlers. I'm more interested in what the chinese plan to do int heir knockoff, since it'll probably be much better and more fun

I haven’t played much Mortal Kombat or DBD, but as far as I can tell, both games emphasize gratuitous violence. It’s not a bad feature per se, but not for me. I feel more disgust than enjoymend.

Oh, and Street Fighter is still out there, well alive and better than ever.

I enjoyed a lot of the fighting games in my teens int he ealry and mid 90s, mortal kombat was actually popular because of it's violence and fatallities. the first game actually had ♥♥♥♥ feel ont he controls compared to the second one, but the fatalities were pretty cool lol. it was clearly designed to get kids like I was into popping quarters and getting our parents to buy the carts. MK2... that was beautiful and then MK3 ultimate perfected it especially those big ass screened podium styled arcade versions of it. one arcade I went to in 95 or 96 had that big version of it and you could do tournaments there on it. x-men versus street fighter and children of the atom were pretty fun ones in the aracde too along with killer instinct 1. I didn't really take to KI2 but I ran the first KI at the local arcade I lived around at the time. especially using orchid and fulgore. the onyl person who could steadily beat me turned out to be a geeky kind of girl who was also a magic player ha ha. kind of cool for a girl I had thought because of that at the time. not as many girls seemed to be at least openly into that kind of stuff back then.

I have played DBD for a long as time and have over a 1000 hours in it. I still like playing it from time to time, but I'm just burned out after grinding the Rift twice.
I love Resistance and if Resistance got the same love as DBD is getting, i would probably never play DBD again.

As many others have said. Resistance has a lot more interesting gameplay mechanics than DBD.

Also i played F13 way before i started playing DBD. I loved F13. but i moved on to DBD after it got stale and never got updated with new content again.

I haven't played Hide or Die or Last Year.
