We love a ranking list down here at go2games, and things aren’t going to change anytime soon. As January is essentially a horror month when we own up to how much we spent over Christmas, why not delve into one highly successful survival game- Dead By Daylight. It only seems appropriate, doesn’t it?
For the last five years, horror fans have been treated to this multiplayer survival horror experience. Its managed to keep us on the edge of our seats since then, by constantly innovating the game play mechanics and killer characters. The roster of survivors and killers continues to impress us all these years later, and is one of the reasons we’re always so eager to jump back in.
For those unfamiliar with the title, Dead by Daylight sees four survivors play against a killer at the command of a bloodthirsty supernatural being called the Entity. In each game, one killer is tasked with chasing, injuring, and then sacrificing survivors to the Entity before they can escape the map. As you can imagine, it’s quite the intense experience.
If survivors are to evade sacrifice, they must combine forces and try to start five randomly placed generators through a sequence of skill tests. If they’re able to do this, two exit gates will subsequently open, which creates a mad desperate sprint to the safe zone whilst trying to dodge the killer.
Who could this killer be, we hear you ask? Whilst new players only have a limited set of killers to choose from, you can boost your selection with in-game currency or by buying specific DLCs. Moreover, Dead By Daylight has seen some of cinema’s most monstrous foes enter the frame, with the likes of The Cenobite from Hellraiser and Michael Myers from Halloween making their appearances.
Despite this, not all killers come with the same equal abilities. For example, each killer may have different combinations of the game’s key variables. These include map control, danger, perks, add-ons and powers. Therefore, we’ve decided to compile a list of the top five so you know which ones to jump straight onto! Without further a do, let’s jump straight into it then shall we!
5. The Blight- Talbot Grimes
What a worthy start to our list. Talbot Grimes score some bonus points to sneak into the top five due to their versatility. They’re able to rebound off objects to target survivors, which makes them terrifying from any angle. Additionally, when the chain rush skills are mastered, well who can really stop them? Despite the length of time need to perfect it, it’s undoubtedly time well spent.
