Dead By Daylight: Doomed Course Review (Paentimexi)
Legitimately one of the worst chapters introduced. The quality is low across the board.
The Houndmaster is particularly bad on all fronts.
Her design is all wonky, her lore was written in crayon by a kid in elementary school, and her power is extremely buggy.
To make matters worse, she's extremely underwhelming - for the effort one has to put into getting hits with her, just about any other killer is stronger in comparison.
Trickster is stronger, Artist is stronger, Nightmare is stronger - hell, even ambushing people with The Shape is stronger than the Houndmaster most of the time.
She's like The Cenobite with less control and Twins level jank.
Her perks are also offputting. They have a bit of synergy with other perks, but are generally dog-water on their own. (pun intended)
I absolutely do not recommend.
The survivor suffers about as much if not more.
She's just a model, interchangeable with other survivors.
She looks like if Cole from Infamous did hard drugs.
Her voice lines are well acted, but they're basically just her complaining about how unfair her fate is (Boring)
Her lore was also written by the same elementary-school dropout as the Houndmaster.
Her perks are despicably moronic.
- If you healed someone else, in a certain circumstance you can sorta maybe save a little bit of time perhaps.
- If you spend a bunch of time and basically throw your life away, everyone gets the game's WORST information perk.
- In fringe circumstances where you can stop tunneling, you can screw yourself to maybe perhaps make things less bad.
It's D tier garbage.
The Survivor isn't worth it.
The Killer certainly isn't worthwhile.
