About this game

Escape Dead Island is a spin-off from the main Dead Island series, outside of the main canon, and it is done by a different developer.

Unlike the main series it is played from a third-person perspective.

The visuals are changed to a cel shaded look with action words that appear on the screen similar to comic books.

In this survival action game the player controls Cliff Calo who travels with two friends to the Banoi archipelago, mainly the Narapela island, to investigate the reports about strange events there.

His main goal is to gather evidence by taking pictures with his camera, proving the Geopharm corporation is active on the islands.

The game's tutorial is set slightly before the rest of the game where the player controls the operative Kilo Two who infiltrates a Geopharm facility to discover the identity of the mole, two days before the outbreak.

Xian Mei, from the main game series, also appears as a character in the game.

It does not have the open world design of the main games in the series, but a linear set of objectives.

Many locations are blocked off until a specific point in the story.

Many familiar elements return, such as the ravaged tropical setting with infected humans wandering about.

Calo's mental state causes him sometimes to quickly move between locations or shows strange events.

As an action game Calo is able to attack with melee weapons along with minor gunplay with a pistol and a shotgun because of the scarce ammunition.

Groups of enemies cannot be attacked at once, so stealth has to be used regularly to sneak up and stealth kill them.

Infected react to movement and sound.

For melee attacks a fast and a heavy attack can be used, and these can be combined into combos.

Calo is also able to dodge, crouch, sprint, kick, push infected out of the way, and target specific enemies.

Just like the original games you cannot attack endlessly as they drain a stamina meter near the bottom of the screen.

After some attacks you regularly need to wait a few seco

About Xbox 360

Microsoft's second console, the Xbox 360 (2005), is remembered for popularizing online multiplayer through Xbox Live and for a notoriously high hardware failure rate (the "Red Ring of Death") — which ironically makes well-preserved, working units and complete game cases more collectible today. Physical 360 games are still generally affordable, though limited Kinect-era peripherals and bundles are becoming harder to find complete.

Gamevaro tracks Escape Dead Island for Xbox 360 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Escape Dead Island to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This X360 release dates back to 2014.
