Dead Effect 2 is a sci-fi horror first-person shooter set aboard a derelict colonization spaceship. Stand up to the challenge as an elite soldier and try to seize the control of the monster-infested ship. Will you be able to uncover all dark secrets?
This is one of many mobile/indies reconfigured for a controller & ported; made more 'console friendly.' First, it's FAR better than DE1. If you're new, the concept is a VERY loose mash-up of Mass Effect & Dead Space that--on console--plays sorta like [new] Doom, but with many & more confusing upgrade tiers. It has something for everyone; it's mostly cheeky, but there's still a novel worth of lore, textlogs, journals, etc. to read. The upgrades can be tedious in light of the CLEARLY mobile, bite-sized missions. It suffers some glitches (note this *is* a day 1 review), tiny animation stutters, cringey voicework/BAD English, & I hope you enjoy a very grainy filter on your FPS, 'cuz there are no sliders. I may sound negative, but weigh the aforementioned against this: it's $12, a great timesuck for sad Dead Space fanatics (me 😢), it's objectively just loud, gory fun, great cheev huntin' game, & satisfies bladed melee & shooter fans. MANY modes to grind for loot too! SOLO ONLY, though 😠.

360/Arcade era shooter
It's not bad. Like an early 360 or coin era arcade FPS game. Images about game are misleading in the MS store. Actual game is significantly more 360-era. Here at a new gen of consoles this game is two generations back. It's not bad, just keep in mind that the graphics are NOT what is pictured in the MS store. If you like XBOX 360 Era FPS games you'll enjoy. However NOT 60fps, no next-gen graphics. Even on MOBILE this would look dated. Still fun.

Honestly
Great game, not hard to pick up, solid controls for a port. Only gripe is game is kinda short, would gladly pay full price for new content.

doom+boderlands+destiny but a mobil port. still awesome
you mix borderlands gun variety and destiny class upgrade system with doom's some what narrow linear maps that encurages exploration. The only problem is the feel of mobil/steam port. 12 bucks u cant do better. I LOVE CONSTANTLY GETTING NEW GEAR. You will love it if your 2 fav games r borderlands and doom. IF you r super picky and get annoyed easily with minor flaws u may hate dead effect 2. A ton of content. A ton of different modes that have shared progression, so the same character/gear can be used across all different mission structure (story,survival,biohazzard,lone wolf, etc. )

One Word
Having played the mobile variation of this game, I can say this game will strike many as a downgrade. The graphics are uniquely irritating and i still enjoy the game. And the controls may be clunky at times nevertheless for a mobile dev i cant expect better. In this reguard all i can say is keep UPDATES coming one improvement at a time. BUGS: Game crash minimal, The User Interface is out of visable boundrys and needs a patch. REQUESTS: co-op/multiplayer would undoubtedly go a long way. All in all Thanks for the port game and good work so far.👍
