Description

Death Is Not an Escape.


Dead by Daylight is a multiplayer (4vs1) horror game where one player takes on the role of the savage Killer, and the other four players play as Survivors, trying to escape the Killer and avoid being caught, tortured and killed.

Survivors play in third-person and have the advantage of better situational awareness. The Killer plays in first-person and is more focused on their prey.

The Survivors' goal in each encounter is to escape the Killing Ground without getting caught by the Killer - something that sounds easier than it is, especially when the environment changes every time you play.

Key Features

• Survive Together… Or Not - Survivors can either cooperate with the others or be selfish. Your chance of survival will vary depending on whether you work together as a team or if you go at it alone. Will you be able to outwit the Killer and escape their Killing Ground?

• Where Am I? - Each level is procedurally generated, so you’ll never know what to expect. Random spawn points mean you will never feel safe as the world and its danger change every time you play.

• A Feast for Killers - Dead by Daylight draws from all corners of the horror world. As a Killer you can play as anything from a powerful Slasher to terrifying paranormal entities. Familiarize yourself with your Killing Grounds and master each Killer’s unique power to be able to hunt, catch and sacrifice your victims.



• Deeper and Deeper - Each Killer and Survivor has their own deep progression system and plenty of unlockables that can be customized to fit your own personal strategy. Experience, skills and understanding of the environment are key to being able to hunt or outwit the Killer.

• Real People, Real Fear - The procedural levels and real human reactions to pure horror makes each game session an unexpected scenario. You will never be able to tell how it’s going to turn out. Ambience, music, and chilling environments combine into a terrifying experience. With enough time, you might even discover what’s hiding in the fog.

Super game. We need more games like this one. Plenty of fun with friends. If devs makes more balanced maps and stop nerfs a killers, this could be really very playable game for all people and not just for elite.
  • Unique gamestyle
  • Licensed characters
  • Nice graphics & maps
  • Toxicity of players
  • Cheaters
  • Bad game balance
Expected nothing more of this game.

i bought it to play with my friends, since i've been told multiple times that the community is quite toxic and they're all tryharding. I'm still really bad, but it's a super fun game.

The game is very amazing, addictive and fun
  • With New killers game is more fun than ever
  • Some killers are very boring, new content should be added more often
Great game! Since I bought it it was the most played game in my library.
  • Hella fun
  • You can easily spend some hours
  • Sometimes Toxic Community
Interesting game, fun to play with friends
Good prices

Quick activation

Easy to follow steps
Bought the game not being aware of the need for Xbox online/game pass. Only after purchasing it saw that 1) it comes with game pass and 2) game pass is the online subscription needed to play it. So basically buying a standalone copy makes no sense.
  • Game is fun (online mode only)
  • Requires Xbox online but comes with game pass. Buying it alone makes not sense :)
Great game to play with friends

I would like to say that this game can be boring and fun at the same time it depends on which killer you get or it depends on ur teammates so here are some Pros and Cons about whatnis good and what is bad in this game!
  • Fun with friends
  • Reasonable prices in game
  • U should buy it here instead of paying 20$ on steam
  • Poor optimization for low end pcs
  • Toxic community
  • Can be boring sometimes
most toxic community avoid this game

the base game is 10 € but if you want all dlc to unlock all survivor killer and perk its more than 100 €

dev of this game support racism and transphobia

if all of this don't bother you this game is for you
  • the game starting to be fun after 2000 hours
  • when you play survivor with friend on vocal you can occasionally have fun
  • you will have a lot of time to play other game cause you never want to play this one
  • more than 1000 hours just to lean the basics
  • infinit ridicouls grind to unlock every thing
  • the community (toxic player, cheaters ...)
A review of Dead by Daylight

My friends have been bothering me to give Dead by Daylight a try for a while, eventually selling me on the fun 1v4 asymmetric gameplay. Showing off how cool it is to outsmart people as a killer. I purchased the game and gave it a try. It seemed fun at first but the longer I played the more problems started to show.

Dead by daylight is a mixed bag of a game. On one hand it’s got a fantastic game loop and great sound and character design. On the other hand, the core content gets buried under massive grinding and pay to play barriers, toxic mechanics, and bad matchmaking.

First thing bad to mention is the nonfunctioning matchmaking. When I had first bought and played the game within my first few games I was already getting matched up against players at top rank. It made it almost impossible to learn and very miserable to play. Now being somewhere middle in the ranks (rank 9) I get matched up with bottom tier players and top tier. Almost never with people around my rank. So much about this game would be forgivable if it was fun but matchmaking that does not work at all ensures it’s not. There is not causal mode only ranked.

I’ve played a lot of both roles in the game and somehow both are miserable to play. As a killer you are always at a disadvantage. Survivors get a considerable number of perks and built in tools to stop you from achieving anything. Borderline infinite chase loops, bad objective spacing, overpowered perks, and keys are just some examples. While these may be necessary for balancing it’s just not fun. Imagine spending an entire game controlling and outplaying 4 survivors when one of them just pulls out a key and several of them just get away with almost no counterplay. Ranking is also a nightmare for killers, its easy to derank for performing average and hard to rank up without being perfect. The ranking systems also encourages killers to just make the game longer for up to 9 minutes. If survivors are playing together and have an outside voice chat it becomes almost impossible to win. There are additional perks that give less information than what can be gained from voice chat.

Survivor is another story. Its already not fun having to wait 10-20 minuets to queue up for a game compared to the instant killer queue time, but it gets worse. Killers often target 1-2 people in a game just to ensure they won’t derank. Killers depend on running the same perks to just keep up, making the games feel very similar. Bad matchmaking means new players can get into and just destroy the game. Its better than playing killer in my opinion but it’s not the same fun.

The biggest problem is the grind. Perks are transferable from one character to another for both survivors and killers. This means going through the process of purchasing the character, getting their level high enough, going back to relevel up the character you want the perk on. It takes about 8 hours to max level up character, even longer for survivor as you get less currency for playing them. You could also get lucky and wait for the special shop to have what perks you need. However, its fully random, only rotates once a week, still takes a considerable amount of time to grind for another in game currency and only has two perks at a time. Is about a 1/21 chance each week for a specific killer perk and a 1/30 chance for a specific survivor perk. I’m also not sure but I believe duplicates are possible within the store.

But the bigger problem here is having to purchase these characters with extra money. Some in game characters can be purchased without by grinding the same system needed for the perk store, but it’s a considerable amount of time to get this estimated around a month of gameplay for most people, and it’s not available for every character. 3rd party characters cannot be obtained for free and must be paid for with actually money on top of the price payed for the game. This all means that for a relevant set of perks on a character it can take around 16 - 40 hours and cost $5-$20. It only gets worse the more characters you have as it takes more levels to find the perks you want as they are randomly given to the player each character level and take 3 levels to fully get. I’m a patient gamer but I’m not that patient.

While it could be argued you don’t need optimal perks, the poor matchmaking makes it feel as if you have to be optimized at any rank or risk losing to a team that will be running optimal perks. You can’t play casual if you are playing killer because of the asymmetrical nature of the game. And as a survivor certain perks are needed to prevent getting camped.
  • multiplayer
  • can be on the evil or the good side
  • cheap dlcs
  • a few things locked behind dlcs
  • too scary for some
  • hard to understand as a newbie
Dead by Daylight's asymmetrical gameplay is a fresh and thrilling experience. It's a lot of fun to play as either a survivor with a friend or a killer on your own. However, the game's balancing issues make it unfair for the survivors, especially against certain killers. Despite these flaws, Dead by Daylight is a genuinely enjoyable game that Starbreeze has created.
  • Unique
  • Really fun coop
  • fun to be the scary thing
  • little janky
  • unbalanced at times
Pretty good, the game have good mechanics and overall for the year it was made good graphics too, the only problem in this game are the try hards but once you get the hang of it its an easy game and fun, especially with friends
I bought this game on another account and i can say that it worked properly and didn't have any errors. I still have the game till this day and it works perfectly. If you look to buy a good game that also has a good price, consider taking a look at Dead by Daylight.
This game is amazing to play with friends, it's obviously better when you're full (5 people) but it's still very fun with 3 or 4 people. I recommend you to play this game, it's a very cool and scary game haha
some times it is hard in dbd but we all get to it. its a gread game you can play withe friends as a surf or as a killer alon. You will see the difrenc really quick bc its not that easy as you think it is
  • Fun withe friends and looping the killer
  • tunnel and camping
This game's like a double edged sword, sometimes it can be fun sometimes it can get to your head, a lot of characters have really high skill caps with really steap learning curves, but all in all the game's very fun
  • Amazing Characters
  • Amazing Gameplay
  • A lot of updates
  • Crazy matchmaking
  • It can get a little bit stale
  • Community is very toxic
Dead by Daylight is a game where you can either play as a killer or a survivor in a horror-themed multiplayer match. It's a lot of fun if you enjoy being chased by a maniac with a chainsaw or hiding in a closet while your friends get slaughtered. The game has a variety of maps, characters and perks to choose from, so you can customize your experience to your liking. The graphics are decent and the gameplay is thrilling. The only downside is that sometimes the matchmaking can be unfair or the servers can be laggy. But overall, I would recommend this game to anyone who likes a good scare and a challenge
i so wanted demogorgonand i only find card things website and this website im wanted but too expensive this dlc to get but back to 2020 i buy dlc 5 dolars but its gone i gona eat someone i watch strangers things so much time and i love dead by daylight i wanted dhis dlcc
  • so good demogorgon
  • i wanted eat some humans with demo
  • i want demoo
  • buges
  • glich
  • its gone 2020
Definitely something you should try, especially if you have some friends to play with. However, if you decide to play with random people, it can still be fun but lets say that the game is easy to learn-hard to master. There are a lot of perks, characters, ways of playing the game etc. For this amount of money it is a must-have.
  • Funnier with friends
  • Well optimised
  • A lot of DLC-s
  • Half-toxic community
yasssss omggggg o ;obeee utttt yassss teaaa sppppppppppppppp hggddddpdodo i looove this game its sooo OMMMMMMMMMMMGGG This gameeee <3 i love this game a lottty o m m mm mm m m mmyy goood this game sooo gogooodd love ittt

  • yeaaaa
  • teaaa
This game is not fun at all it just a big pile of s1it. When you die as a sourvivor you get camped or tunneled and just die over and over. As killer you get redrank survivors as enemys (redrank is the highest rank in the game).
  • everything
  • no fnaf collab
Very easy transaction and help and fun game! Its very fun when you play with a group of friends. and if you dont have anyone to play with, just paying killer can be fun as well. I stream on twitch and you can meet some people
  • Fun
  • Good community
  • Meet cool people
  • No mics
  • Toxic Killers
  • Rare but can be hackers
It's a GREAT GAME, if you love horror stuff definitely recommend you try this game. They keep adding new content so you won't get bored.4 people squad or make your own custom game and play with 5 people.
This game used to be fun now its just literally you volunteering your time to be a body for killers to get. Completely a waste of time for half of the players. The game used to be balanced and fun and now it's not even worth being free.
  • Waste of time
  • Massive killer buff
instant and reliable. I cant wait to finally the play the game i waited to play for such a long time :D

Although i dont know why i have to write a paragraph, its just a good and fast seller, what else can i say rly
  • Instant
  • Reliable
  • Good
