Dead Rising 4: 10 Reasons It's The King Of The Zombie Genre

8. Being The Leader Behind A Group Of Survivors

Something Dead Rising built its initial reputation on was allowing you to be the main hero that leads a troupe of survivors to safety. They'd stumble and get caught by occasional zombies that would need fending off, but ultimately, there's no more noble feeling than getting your band of survivors back to the safe zone.

This was fairly difficult, and didn't always sit well with wider audiences - hence why Dead Rising 4 has streamlined the process. There are still a number of NPCs to seek out and save, but rather than worry about escorting them, once you've done your duty and rid their vicinity of any threat, your job's done.

Perfect!
