Summary:
In this Survival Horror game you find yourself and some other players surviving huge waves of Resident Evil style zombies with Counter Strike tactics.
Sounds fun right?
More like insanely difficult. You will (more than likely) die the first time you play. You’ll learn what NOT to do far faster than you learn WHAT to do. I had to read the Killing Floor Wiki when I first started playing. This game is not for the weak.
Usually 10 waves of zombies will be fought. Well, they’re not really zombies…
“Specimens are the main antagonists of Killing Floor. While they are widely referred to as zombies they are in fact failed experimental clones created by Horzine Biotech, a biotechnology company in London, England.” -- Killing Floor wikiAnyways, after the “final” wave you will reach wave 11/10. Then you must face a BOSS in a co-op FPS. He has a tentacle that shoots out of his chest when you get too close. A rocket launcher for when you’re too far away. Then, a chain gun for when you’re anywhere in the middle. Many of these moves are near insta-kills. Oh, did I mention he can randomly turn invisible?
What’s this? You’ve lowered his health to near death? Don’t worry. He’ll just TURN INVISIBLE, RUN AWAY, SUMMON A WAVE OF ZOMBIES AND SELF HEAL BEFORE HE SHOWS HIMSELF AGAIN. How many times can he do this? Thrice.
I’ve never had so much fun combating a co-op FPS boss battle.
Class System:
You start out as a Level 0 everything. What you do and how you play (regardless of the current class selected) will level different perks. Because I don’t wish to re-write a wiki, I’ll simply summarize my feelings toward the different perks.
No matter what your play style-- you’ll find something in here you’ll like.
Overview:
For such a cheap game this company services its customers well. It’s 100% free after you buy the game unless you want to purchase DLC. I normally hate DLC but this is DLC done right. You cannot purchase bonuses or maps or better weapons. You simply get a new character to play as. All of the characters have equal stats. So they’re optional and purely aesthetic purchases. Similar to the Mann Co. Store in TF2.
As far as gameplay goes, there are currently no other game modes to my knowledge. Though, there are plenty of maps to play on. Plenty of weapons to play with. Plenty of levels to gain. Then plenty of difficulty settings to advance to.
The zombies have weaknesses and strengths just as the class selection does. You’ll find yourself alerting your Sharpshooter (sniper) of the incoming Scrake while protecting him from the incoming Fleshpound with your fully automatic shotgun.
Pros:
- The holiday events for this game are hilarious
Christmas
Summer
- The weapon selection is beautiful
- The class and leveling system is nicely done
- Fast paced and very intense
- Smooth server browser
- Slow-mo dramatic kills
- Clunky character collision

- Vague in-game explanation of events
GAME FOR YOUR BUCK?
More than worth it
Available on PC and Mac. Click to view.
even though this game seems awesome and worth it i cannot afford it so you should also rate games that are free sometime.
ReplyDeleteBrandon, the game is often on special on Steam for next to nothing. Right now it's on sale for $13, but often enough it's only $5. Just check often :)
