Does Dead Space Remake Have New Enemies?
The Dead Space franchise has always been known for its thrilling combat and terrifying enemies. The remastered version of the game has got a lot of fans excited, wondering what new terrors await. Yes, the Dead Space Remake does have new enemies.
The remake introduces a new breed of terrifying creatures known as Phantom necromorphs. [1] These deadly beasts are an enhanced version of the Necromorphs from the original Dead Space. They have more health and increased damage output, making them a formidable threat.
What are these Phantom necromorphs?
To the uninitiated, it can be confusing to distinguish between the standard necromorphs and the Phantom versions. In short, Phantom necromorphs are more aggressive and resilient compared to their standard counterparts.
For instance, Phantom Spitters shoot a more concentrated and powerful splatter of acid, while their level 1 counterparts don’t. Phantom Lurkers charge faster and are more difficult to grab onto. Even the standard Enemies such as the Leapers are significantly more aggressive in the remake (see Table 1.).
