A first-person action RPG set in a zombie-apocalypse version of Los Angeles (renamed “Hell-A”). You play as a “Slayer,” one of the few people immune to the zombie pathogen, which means you can get bitten, clawed, and generally wrecked without turning. Your job? Survive, smash, slice, and uncover what happened to the city—while looking ridiculously cool doing it.

The game concludes with Axel facing off against Director Arlo in a final showdown. Axel emerges victorious, but not without sacrifices. The game ends with Axel, Luna, and Jesse escaping the ruins of Los Angeles in a makeshift vehicle, with a glimmer of hope for a brighter future.

Dead Island 2 leans heavily into the "Looter-Slayer" subgenre, popularized by games like Borderlands and Destiny , but adapted for melee combat.
