DEAD RISING®
HORROR CENTRALITY
60 /100

While Dead Rising is undeniably a zombie horror setting with gore and tense moments, its core identity rests on action-driven survival, scavenging, and time-limited sandbox gameplay. Fear and dread are present but not the primary experience; horror elements are strong but shared with action/adventure and sandbox progression.
