    Do not buy or play this game

    This game is plagued with server issues that cause it to shut down unexpectedly. Compounded with the fact that you get penalized every time this happens. My current penalty for this happening is 24 hours. Customer service says there is nothing they can do to reset the penalty or to refund me the money I have spent on this game. This game is currently unusable. I can play tops three games and then I’m locked out for 24 hours.

    If you love scary movies this game will have you in the edge of your seat with your heart pounding! You can be the victim/survivor if you succeed or the killer which is just as exciting

    Pay to win, completely unbalanced

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This has become one of the worst games I have ever played. Years ago when I started playing this game it was a lot of fun and a good challenge. The balance was fairly good and you could get into a game fairly quickly. All of that has changed at this point. About 2 years ago after some very bad decisions they started hemorrhaging players. Enough so. that they changed their business model to a cash grab. About 2 years ago they started coming out with characters (mainly killers) that completely broke the game. They continued creating more and more of these cheat characters and now the game is a total mess. More recently in order to sell more survivor characters they started coming out with perks that didn't exactly break the game but were over the top balance wise. The most recent addition has completely broken the game from both sides. At this point they have lost the vast majority of their player base. Here are the basics: Pay to Win Killers: Super speed, Insta kill, No Heartbeat, absolute tracking map wide- That is just 1 killer. Other have teleportation and anything else you can think of. The most recent survivor comes with 2 perks that break the game. Quick healing, self-healing, no track marks, undetectable. it is basically god mode and gets even worse with multiple players using it. Ohh and heres the real kicker, the developers have basically decided that fixing the massive number of glitches and putting an anti-cheat system in place isn't worth their time. In order to play this game you have to have cross play on and unfortunately, a significant number of PC players are using hacks/cheats. This doesn't include balancing the game. They have lost so many players that if cross play is turned off you likely won't ever find a game (keep in mind only 5 people are needed). With cross play turned on, expect a MINIMUM 5-minute wait just to start the game, that is assuming you don't error out or someone else doesn't error out, in which case expect another 5-minute wait. If you're lucky and don't get a cheat killer or hacker you can expect an average game to last 10-15 minutes, otherwise if your unlucky expect it to last maybe 3-5 minutes. Pros: At this point there really isnt any, the concept is good but its completely broken. Cons: Unbalanced Pay to Win Pointless gameplay. Rampant Hackers/Cheaters Significant errors Significant glitches. Graphics are moderately ok (ps4 or ps5 version) Massively overpriced for such a generic game One of the most hate-filled communities I have ever seen (largely due to the cons) Developers couldn't care less about the game. Honestly there is more I could go into but i don't see the point. Don't waste your money

    DBD caters to killers, horrible for switch players

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The problem with the Switch version is there aren’t many Switch players. So if you want to play, you end up having to activate cross-play. Cross-play is like taking a tricycle to a motorcycle race. Because the switch, although excellent, is a highly underpowered console compared to what everyone else is using. You might think you’re hiding in a perfect place, but since your screen is dark and your graphics aren’t the greatest, in all likelihood, you aren’t hiding at all and are visible to the killer. As far as the game itself, my husband and I have played for years, and the developers have continued to make changes that give the killer an advantage. If you enjoy playing as the killer, go for it and have a blast because you won’t have fun as a survivor. This game adds up if you want to buy any in-game content, such as additional survivors or killers. But that’s not enough if you aren’t having fun due to the extreme toxicity of the killers, and at times, survivors, the developers have implemented a punishment to the game to stop you from playing. So, if you quit the game, you will not be able to play for 5 minutes, 15, 30, etc. I have heard of people being banned for a WEEK. You are being banned for a week for a game they paid to play and need an internet service which also costs money. The survivors can be very toxic; for example, the last time I played a round, a survivor who was there to torment people in the game was able to corner me. You can’t run through a survivor or a killer. So, it’s very easy for other players to ruin your time playing because no matter how long you’re cornered, the game makes it, so you stay there. If I could, I would get all my money back that I paid for this game because the developers have catered more to the killers as time has gone on, and as a switch player, you’re already dealing with a disadvantage.
