You can now hunt survivors on mobile too. Not in Dead by Daylight, but in a clone game that works exactly the same.
The asymmetrical horror genre enjoys great popularity on PC, with titles like Dead by Daylight leading the way. However, the genre is also trying to establish itself in the mobile market – led by the Chinese giant NetEase, which has now released “Identity V” for iOS devices.
The game calls itself a “Dead by Daylight” clone and there is now also a collaboration between Behaviour, the creators of Dead by Daylight, and NetEase.
Familiar game principle 4vs1: In Identity V, you either take on the role of one of four “Hunted” or the “Hunter,” who must first knock down and then sacrifice the other four players. The Hunted, on the other hand, must repair various generators (or something similar, the principle is identical) to escape the map.
Minor differences. There are a few differences from Dead by Daylight, though. The graphics are a bit more childlike and comic-like, and the killer controls are from a 3rd-person perspective. This way, you can see what is happening behind and next to your character and react accordingly. Unlike the PC version, the Hunter is significantly faster and has more options to track down the Hunted, which speeds up the rounds considerably.
If you are interested in Identity V, you can download Identity V here from the Apple Store.
Doubts about the “collaboration”: The circumstances under which the collaboration between the developers of Identity V and Dead by Daylight occurred seem mysterious to many players. Identity V had long been released in China before talks between the two developers took place. Fans suspect that NetEase practically forced the small developer Behaviour Interactive to enter into a collaboration and thus enable global release.
Will you take a look at Identity V and try it out? Or would you prefer to stick with the original on PC, since something like that is not suitable in the mobile sector?
