Heaven Dust 2 Is A Match Made In Zombies

First impressions of Heaven Dust 2 were of Resident Evil 2. That’s a pretty good assumption as this survival horror was inspired by the classic title and conveyed that in a brief trailer.

For once, I watched the trailer before reading the details, and this two-person development team, One Gruel Studio, and publishers Indienova know their source material. Now that I’ve read the deets let me share them with you.

Heaven Dust 2 takes place once your character has woken from a cryogenic pod only to find that zombies have taken over. Fear not, they’ve not taken jobs or rearranged furniture, but they are doing the classic zombie thing of attacking our hero. You’ll therefore learn to fend them off, explore your surroundings, and solve a fair amount of puzzles too.

Key features include:

• Classic survival horror genre: Heavy doses of exploration, action, puzzles, and resource management.
• Enhanced production value: Highly detailed graphics and effects, providing a brand new experience for players of the first game.
• Collect and combine, use various items to solve puzzles.
• Evolved combat system: Fight your way out with a dagger, submachine gun, shotgun, and grenades.
• Choose your weapon to counter different enemies, plan your strategy, seek their weak points, and destroy their defenses. Except for ordinary zombies, all kinds of mutated monsters have joined the battle too: Heavily armored Bone Fiend, regenerating Blood Fiend, approaching Boomlad.
• Epic boss fights. Engaging plot, fun brain teasers. Players need to make an ultimate choice: Two escape routes will lead you to two different endings. Casual, Normal, and Expert difficulties for you to choose, suited to all players.

And here’s the trailer for Heaven Dust 2:

Though the music in the trailer was a little uninspiring, the game has piqued my interest, as I’m sure it has for you, too. It’s available now on Steam and the Nintendo Switch. Steam peeps can click on the link below, Nintendo fans? Just copy and paste ‘Heaven Dust 2‘ and do a little search. Soz.
