However, what warrants fans of the first game picking this new game up is that the developers have learned a lot in the many years developing the original, and they’ve used that experience to create an immaculately-polished follow-up. Or humans depending on what you’re into.This sounds a lot like the first game, and that’s a good thing. It’s a mindlessly fun experience for anyone looking to take a break from life and just put down a few Zed…. While it might only sport two game modes and a few bosses, blasting your way through waves of Zeds in one of the game’s 16 maps with your friends or trying to survive in the versus mode is an overall enjoyable time. Killing Floor 2 might not be a deep “Horde Mode” experience, but what it does is fun, and it does fun extremely well. I did however, pony up the $2.50 to unlock a baseball cap and I think a backpack. I obtained a Horzine supply crate but never managed to find a key for it. The game also supports a micro-transaction pay model which you can’t help but feel nudges the player toward making the a purchase here and there. Survival and Versus are fun of course, but that leaves little variety in what players can choose from. There’s also the lack of content aside from the single player. It also would have been a blast playing through a story mode with Killing Floor 2’s wacky cast. I never had the opportunity to play though the first Killing Floor, so I don’t know much of the lore outside of the fact that Horzine is the one responsible for the Zed outbreak that’s plaguing Europe. My biggest let down is that the single player is just a solo Survival. Explosives will cover rooms in gore and obtaining specific kills will result in Zed time(Translation: Bullet Time) that will allow players to take it all in and line up their next shot. Its easy to be overwhelmed as Zeds come out of every nook and cranny, and you never really know what to expect when you turn around. The rocking heavy metal soundtrack works really with all the action going on within matches. Thankfully, the final wave is a chaotic mess(in a good way!) as Zeds pour in from all sides, chomping at the players bit while the boss bolts around the map trying his best to kill you and your friends. However, there are only three bosses, and I’ve only ever encountered the doctor on the final wave. With the increased waves you’ll start fighting the screaming Sirens, cloaked Stalkers, and some of the bigger bosses like the Fleshpound will show up until the game is over. Players can weld doors shut and booby trap them for some explosively bloody fun. As you slaughter the hordes of the grotesque, technologically infused Zeds, you’ll earn experience for the equipped perk and cash to spend at the trading pod in between rounds where you’ll upgrade your arsenal. With that being said however, it doesn’t really need to. If you’re a huge fan of the “Horde” game modes, you’ll notice that Killing Floor 2 doesn’t really offer anything new. Tripwire also offers more experienced players a chance to earn fun in game rewards by completing weekly challenges. Then there’s Versus mode, where six players fight to survive like normal while six other players have the opportunity to control the Zeds. In Survival, six players cooperatively fight through increasingly difficult waves of Zeds with the final wave being a boss battle. I tended to prefer Rae Higgins, the Australian Rockabilly.Įxcluding offline single player, Killing Floor 2 only has two different modes, Survival and Versus. You can also pick from a wide cast of playable characters and customize their looks. It takes a bit of play time to earn these skills though but it never feels like a grind. Once you hit level 5, you’ll finally earn your first skill, then another at level 10. Each perk will take a bit of learning, and they start out somewhat the same with only their weaponry being their defining factors. If you’re nervous about playing a new perk before going online, you can play through the offline mode which offers a shorter version of the co-op mode, Survival. I don’t know what that guy is but he looks hot.
