Throughout the rest of the story players embark on a mission to secure the evidence of what happened, all whilst avoiding the threat of the incoming soldiers. However, after a close encounter with one subject during a test, Professor Wagner was killed, and his failed creations (the zombies) were set loose on the vast ship in order to cause distraction and allow the conscious victims to escape. This is due to the outbreak of the Dead Effect a virus that was in an experimental stage to try and preserve life as we know it, allowing immortality to those affected. After the death of Professor Wagner, the head of the experiments onboard the ship, soldiers are sent from Earth to approach the ship and purge all evidences of anything ever happening.
The story of Dead Effect 2 is a rather simple one to follow. Each character has their own use within the game, with Danette handing out missions and upgrades to the players abilities, Minikin upgrading weapons and selling new ones collected throughout missions, and Doctor Bielik offering upgrades to the player’s armour as well as the implants installed inside Gunnar. For a short while after saving him, players are also given the helpful hand of Doctor Bielik, the scientist who created Gunnar. Joining the player is Danette, another clone born via lab experiments, and Minikin, possibly the greatest mechanic on the ship, who suffers from brain damage caused by the cryostasis he was kept in. Regardless of the character chosen, it is worth noting that weapons aren’t character specific and it seems that choosing one character over another won’t mean you’re unable to switch weapons at any time. Gunnar is one of the many unlawful scientific creations on board the ESS Meridian spaceship. For my initial playthrough, I chose Gunnar, the clone of a once great soldier that has been enhanced with robotics to try and create something unstoppable. In Dead Effect 2, you play the role of either, Gunnar Davis – the heavy weapon specialist, Jane Frey – the shotgun enthusiast, or Kay Reyner – the fan of all things melee.
