“The game is a bit clunky, but still a very solid game if you can get used to it. This is basically as close to an MMO Resident Evil as you can get unless it's officially made by Capcom.”
“I've played this for 6 hours at the time of writing this comment and I have had a blast! I started playing COOP with my friend and then after he went to bed I made another character to play by myself because I was…”
“best underdog mmo and zombie game”

“Absolute blast to play, especially if you find a good group of people to talk to within it.”
“pretty fun ngl. would be a lot of fun with some friends for sure”

“I loved DF1, and spent countless hours playing it over the last 12+ years. DF2 is really everything I wished DF1 was. It's not a perfect game, but it's free to play. The game is a grind. Personally, I love that. Some…”
“Finally decided to give this a shot and glad I did. It's not graphically that great, it's dated in that regard. But the game play is pretty good. It's repitive at times, like anything else but advancing through the…”

“Para ser un juego gratuito es una autentica locura, llevo enganchado con un amigo todo el finde y aunque no es para todo el mundo, y después de 3 horas se convierte en simulador de abrir puertas esta bien, lo…”
“It's pretty fun for a free to play game. You can buy stuff but don't need to at all. That's for people who just want to endgame it or speed things up. But that kind of takes the fun out of it I think. So yah spend money…”

“best 5 hours of my life. had fun playing and will return. all it takes is just one guy to tell me to come back to this”
“Grindy but fun till you got most of it. Be a seasonal player once you have a decent gear for events.”

“I really wanted to like this game, but it falls apart pretty quickly. The first couple of hours are actually decent—you get that classic survival tension, scavenging for supplies, learning the mechanics, and dealing…”
“As a game that presents itself as an MMO the fact that my friend and I cannot group up and are separated constantly upon leaving/joining an area is a dealbreaker. Useful loot is scarce, gameplay is pretty boring, not…”
“Dead (game) Frontier 2, no events, no roadmap update, lack of QoL, very slow update, boring end-game, in-game market supply and demand is very scarce and everything abilities (remove upgrade, reset skill, cosmetic, etc)…”

“was fun for the first bit but then just got really boring. takes like an hour to loot one building and you'll come out with completely useless trash loot.”
“You know what? I've played for 40 hours and it's really quite boring. It takes me 10 minutes, even 20 minutes, to get from A to B if you don't have gas. To get from Greywood to Dalbow, you need to level up and add…”

“The stalker is completely useless, and needs removed from the game. Oh boy an unkillable, running, teleporting, exp booster that 3 hits you, prevents new players from advancing, and gives absolutely nothing to late game…”
“Repeating rooms, boring quests. Repeated bosses, lack of enemy variety. Instantly get rare items but some how still a massive grind fest. Boring skill upgrades. Enemies are basically not a threat at all. Finding useless…”
“Game is super fun ngl, only gripe i have about it is the bs unkillable mf that spawns if you're too idle in an area, what is this, PERSONA?? LIKE CMON! At least in Persona the Reaper is killable when you're a high…”

“It's free, gets old really fast nowadays. the execution needs modern touch.”
“Asset flip. Been out for far too long to warrant this low of a quality. The devs thing flipping a switch of double item rarity or exp for a few days will somehow be enough to make people think the game's suddenly good…”

“Bought credits to sell for some cash in-game, bought when they were at 2.5m per 100 credits. I had to wait 72 hours to sell them.. now credits are 1.3m per 100. The game makes you suffer because of poor third world…”

“was a fan of the original top down game. Wasn't sure if i would like it from the over the shoulder perspective but has me hooked again, only downside is non members stash space fills up quick but great fun.”

“Preface: I played the Dead Frontier franchise back when it was just a 2d browser game, before it ever became a top down MMO. I played the MMO a bit. Was severely turned off right around getting to the end of mid-game, beginning end game, because of how heavily it was pushed to…”
— a player, Steam review · 420 hrs played“The game is honestly amazing and really fun. I enjoyed it a lot, and I don’t really understand why it gets negative reviews. First, it’s completely free to play, so anyone can try it. At the same time, you can buy in-game credits if you want to progress faster. Second, there are…”
— a player, Steam review · 321 hrs played“I am making this review upon spending 200 solid hours in the game. Now, first things first, the game is great overall but it does get boring when you're about to hit endgame and the content becomes repetitive. Second, I was accused of black market "account selling" just a day…”
