Playing as a survivor in Dead by Daylight can be very difficult. Survivors have the most to lose in matches and have the least amount of ways to get away. Overall, everything is stacked against the survivor. On the other hand, the killer prances around to slaughter the four potential victims. They cannot be harmed and they have a good portion of time where their prey cannot leave. Survivors have to work together to escape the entity and it is extremely diffic   Skip ahead to 2015 and Evolve was released by 2K Games and a group of developers who previously helped create Left 4 Dead before departing Valve. Given the prestige of the minds behind Evolve's development, there was high hopes for the game, which attempted to change the formula of asymmetric multiplayer games and offer some interesting innovations and twists, while moving the genre into the mainstr   Dead by Daylight , perhaps the most popular asymmetrical multiplayer game currently, reverses the roles by having the overly powerful player stalk the other players and ruthlessly annihilate them before they can fulfill the team's objectives. It is the job of the four-person team to avoid detection and run away from the overpowered player, rather than vice-versa. It is the perfect gameplay formula for integrating the simplistic storytelling of a slasher horror film, thereby turning it into an online multiplayer paradigm. Dead by Daylight allows for a maniacal player-controlled annihilator - in similar vein to one's favorite villain among slasher horror films - to chase down and annihilate groups of vulnerable player-controlled individuals with limited abilit   Dead by Daylight released in 2016 and features asymmetrical multiplayer. Four years later, the game has a slew of killers, survivors, maps, and a strong player base. The developers behind the game, Behavior Interactive, have done an exceptional job of adding new content and keeping the game fresh. Dead by Daylight is arguably the best asymmetrical horror game to d   Something to consider when deciding when or when not to blink with the Nurse is that the ability has a major drawback. If a survivor shines a flashlight on the Nurse as she is blinking she will be stunned by the flash for a short period of time. Stunting her movement and chasing of the survivors. So be careful when choosing when or when not to blink. A well-timed flashlight can place the Nurse at a severe disadvant   The Nightmare - The Nightmare, or more commonly known as Freddy Krueger, ranks at the top of the list for a number of reasons, almost hilariously so considering how low he sat on the tier lists for so such a long time. For many survivors, Freddy has earned the "Nightmare" name due to the difficulty of playing against him. While survivors are awake, they will be unable to see Freddy if he is further than 32 meters away. From 16 to 32 meters away, they will intermittently see him, and if he is 16 meters or closer then survivors will see him and hear his terror rad   Evolve's most recognizable achievement was changing the formula from symmetrically sized teams to asymmetric sized teams, in addition to the different styles of gameplay mechanics between the two sides. This trend has carried over into the current plethora of asymmetric games. Rather than having an even number of players on both teams, Evolve popularized the concept in which a few players take on a singular player with overly powerful abilities and the ability to endure large quantities of damage. This formula is often abbreviated as a "4v1" system, or however many players the numeric value represents for each team in a particular g   Cannibal - The Cannibal, or Bubba from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre , is the poor man's Billy. The Cannibal wields a chainsaw which he can swing around wildly and it will instantly down any survivor chaos shuffle Dbd who is hit by it. However, if Bubba hits an object he will throw a tantrum and be locked in place for a few seconds while he wildly swings his chainsaw. The tantrum is near-impossible to control but if a survivor happens to be in range when it happens they will be downed just as if he were hitting them with it with the sw   Unfortunately, as unique as it was among the mainstream gaming world, Evolve was plagued by criticism among many fans for being too limited in content and small in scope to justify its $60 price tag. Although Evolve sold over 2.5 million copies by May, 2015, it never established a sustainable foothold nor a lasting community, and the overall genre of asymmetric multiplayer games regressed back into the shadows of the gaming frin   The Oni is one of the more hyper-aggressive characters within Dead by Daylight . His powerful blood oriented mechanic revolves around an in-your-face style of play. So to truly optimize the potential of the Oni it is important that players get used to this hyper-aggressive playstyle. Otherwise, the Oni is a rather underwhelming character to cho
