Killing Floor

Six player CoOp zombie survival horror.

I've only played one game and jumped straight onto a server with other 5 other people, most had only played 1 or 2 games but were already getting to grips with the games mechanics.

I lasted till the last of seven waves when we all got wiped out, the next wave would have included the boss I believe. What I've seen so far has some definite promise.

I'll go into greater detail when I can, for now have a screenshot gallery, my graphics settings were all on the highest they could be at 1920x1200.

It's not as polished as I think it should be really but it is reasonably inexpensive, I only played SP last night but that was rather fun. I'll certainly be giving co-op a try over the weekend.

Writing something up on this now, overall it add some nice ideas to gameplay that's like Left 4 Dead but not as good as Left 4 Dead on an graphics engine that cant compete with the quality of Left 4 Dead.

It's something between CS and L4D. Not sure if it has the depth to support longevity, even with lots of community made maps to support it.

The levelling and Perks system which prompts players to take on more specific roles is a nice thing to implement. I would have liked to have seen it do more than just buff certain stats though. Allowing access to specialized equipment as well, would have been better. Maybe even go a bit further and award recharging abilities too.

Was watching my colleague playing this over lunch on his superduper machine here, and it looked alright. Loving the cockney speech that crops up from time to time, and the flamethrower looked mental.

Too shallow for me though. Great for twitch-shooting CS goons but not for me, even with zombies in it
