Just like in the movie, zombies move in massive groups, which is horrifying and intimidating, but makes for some of the game’s coolest and tense moments. Luckily, you’re not alone and your arsenal includes heavy firepower and unique skills that help combat the rush of flesh-hungry fiends. Like Left 4 Dead, it seems like the zombies never stop – and that’s because there are so many of them. The runners are everywhere, flooding in like a plague and blocking your global expedition in this undead world. Set in the same universe as the 2013 film starring Brad Pitt, World War Z actually does a good job of capturing the helplessness of living in a zombie apocalypse. The game also lets players see things through the eyes of a Zed in a 12-player competitive survival mode.ĭeveloper: Saber Interactive Publisher: Mad Dog Games

Killing Floor 2 is bloody and a fantastic exercise in teamwork, as only the most organized fighters survive. Luckily, the cure is bullets, blades, and blunt objects.

Select a perk, grab a weapon, and head into the fray of an outbreak that spread across Europe. If you quite love the chaos brought by an incoming zombie horde, you’ll love cutting through wave after wave of Killing Floor 2’s Zeds, squishy meat sacks ripe for the exploding. With a name like Killing Floor 2, it’s pretty easy to guess what you’ll be doing a lot of during your time in Tripwire’s six-player co-op experience. The overall experience is like Left 4 Dead, just set in a fantasy world and with a ton more customization.ĭeveloper: Tripwire Interactive Publisher: Tripwire Interactive Build your perfect hero and cut through swarms of the rat-like foe to salvage the war torn lands and save the Empire from being completely eradicated. Vermintide 2 is packed with content, different weapons to tinker with, and skills to try out.

Five playable characters allow you to customize the experience and either take the horde head-on with a powerful blade or hide in the back and volley off arrows and magic. Prepare for mayhem, Mayflies, as you and three other friends venture into Warhammer’s Fantasy Battles world to take on hordes of Skaven in Vermintide 2. From its enemy design to an assortment of weapons, Earthfall is a slightly different take on the four-player co-op model popularized by Left 4 Dead, delivering heart-pounding action through procedurally generated alien hordes, though it must be said that it wasn’t a great success. Luckily, you have some help from advanced firearms and constructible defenses that keep the threat at bay. Earthfall pits you against an onslaught of aliens big and small, and you’ll have to work together to survive. Gear up, gather some friends and prepare for one hell of a fight. When an extraterrestrial threat makes contact on Earth, there’s only one thing to do. If you’ve played anything from Rebellion’s most recent third-person shooter releases, then Strange Brigade should feel very familiar and welcoming.ĭeveloper: Holospark Publisher: Holospark With those treasures, though, comes a price, and you and up to four friends will quickly find that the protectors of Egypt are nothing to scoff at.Īs the titular brigade, players will need to work together to solve puzzles, battle malevolent forces of Ancient Egypt, and quell the wrath of Seteki the Witch Queen. In Strange Brigade, you’ll set out to ignore everything we’ve learned about mummies and tombs to explore ruins and find hidden treasures. What awaits in the depths of Egypt’s most secret tombs? Only death and despair, of course. A carefully carved out path may be the logical route, but who’s to say drilling right to the bottom doesn’t have its own merits? Using an assortment of delightfully destructive weapons, players will mow through alien threats on the way to their goal, each one deadlier and uglier than the last.ĭeveloper: Rebellion Publisher: Rebellion Players select from four unique classes and navigate winding caves, choosing how they’ll get to their objective. Hordes of extraterrestrial beasts looking to tear you limb from limb? This certainly sounds like a good time to us, and we haven’t even told you about the procedurally-generated caves and up to four-player co-op.ĭeep Rock Galactic is way more than Left 4 Dead in space.
