Dead Effect – это динамичный научно-фантастический шутер от первого лица, погружающий игрока в мрачную атмосферу космического корабля, кишащего зомби. Вы – член элитного отряда, проснувшийся после криогенного сна и обнаруживший, что большая часть экипажа превратилась в кровожадных мутантов. Основная задача – выжить, исследуя отсеки корабля, сражаясь с ордами зомби и выясняя причины катастрофы. В арсенале игрока представлен широкий выбор оружия, от пистолетов и дробовиков до футуристических бластеров. Улучшение оружия и развитие навыков персонажа позволяют эффективно противостоять все более сильным противникам. В игре реализована система ближнего боя, позволяющая расправляться с врагами в непосредственной близости. Помимо основной сюжетной линии, Dead Effect предлагает выполнение побочных заданий и поиск секретных зон, расширяющих игровой опыт.
