Killing Floor 2

Chasing monsters with reliable partners is a good release and invigorating adrenaline. Such emotions are guaranteed by the game "Killing Floor 2" - a cooperative first-person shooter in the survival horror genre from Tripwire Interactive. It was created as a sequel to "Killing Floor", and the developers tried to concentrate the most successful elements.

Unpretentious plot with intricate monsters

In short, the main canvas is as follows. The Horzine corporation has gone wrong with the invention of biological weapons, and as a result, vicious and bloodthirsty mutants have emerged. Their food is people, very quickly monsters captured London, and then began to spread throughout Europe. There is no government, communications - too, military forces - destroyed. Residents are hiding as best they can. But not all gave up. A group of civilians, military and mercenaries who are trying to destroy mutants in hot spots survived.

Killing Floor 2 Features

The rules are quite simple: kill monsters, earn money on this, which must be spent on supplies and weapons. In the group - 6 people, they are immediately thrown into the point where you need to destroy the monsters together with the boss. The highlight of the game is that the enemies attack in waves - from 4 to 10, and each new one is much more powerful than the previous one. All blows need to be repulsed, and then fight the boss. There are pauses between attacks so that the fighters can run to the Merchant and stock up on weapons, ammunition, and equipment. With each visit, not only money is accumulated, but also experience, which is important when moving to the next level of perks.

There is also a small "ambush". The more players, the more monsters there will be in the wave, the fight is considered over if the boss is destroyed. Well, or fighters, here it is - how lucky.

Modes and settings

You can turn on the single-user mode, but fighting off monsters alone is not so easy, and even less interesting. After all, attacking in a company is still more fun than running away from a monster with a chainsaw along all the corridors. In principle, the game is more "sharpened" for the team, and the settings of the heroes are accordingly selected. One skills are for those who are eager to fight in the forefront, others are for fighters who prefer to keep on the sidelines, helping their comrades. Therefore, it is recommended to select perks, taking into account the preferences of the participants.

There are also battles with real players - in the Versus mode. This is when other participants take on the role of mutants, the game turns out to be much cooler, more interesting and livelier, since people, of course, act differently than bots. By the way, it is a little easier for the defenders of humanity, because mutants have little health, and fighting techniques of damage do not do as much as it seems if you observe from the side. Human participants are able to decapitate, decapitate or quarter the attackers, at the discretion of the player.

Monsters and their attacks in Killing Floor 2

What can monsters do? Bite, vomit, paralyze, so the main thing is to shower generously with fire and try not to let close. The developers also made sure that the mutants were diverse, each with its own abilities and weapons. There are zombies and sirens, which are easier to kill, but there are also more abrupt rivals. For example, powerful Patriarchs with cybernetic enhancements, which are controlled by deadly artificial intelligence. Their attacks are powerful and coordinated, so you need to think carefully about the line of defense and attack. There is also a middle layer - huge monsters with cleavers, soldiers with saws, flamethrowers and plasma cannons.

As for the bosses, they are "packed" conscientiously with both weapons and the ability to regenerate. Therefore, experienced players are advised to think over the line of attack and retreat. It is also important to be able to regroup during the battle.

Weapons and bonuses

Given the variety of monsters and their arsenal, people also need to take care of decent weapons. The choice is huge: from modern machine guns and self-propelled guns to guns and historical pistols. There are even inventions by a mad scientist. But we need to think over so that all participants have different types of weapons to defeat certain monsters. By the way, the developers also thought about such a detail as powerful recoil, players note that it is always felt strongly.

Bonuses are relying on a good game, gamers are allowed to choose 1 out of 10, each of which gives its own skills, powers and weapons. Characters-defenders also differ in appearance, in character and abilities, which can be enhanced by certain bonuses. How to develop a certain play style that helps you move forward.

Worth noting

Critics do not hide that, in fact, the sequel "Killing Floor 2" is not much different from the original. The modification is cooler, it is much easier to play, the battles are bigger. But that's all. They also note the lack of intelligible matchmaking, the ambiguous balance in Versus, and the somewhat archaic structure of the match itself. But in plus, in addition to the already mentioned, a solid arsenal, a bright picture, a varied bestiary. So those who like to drive monsters with any kind of weapon will definitely love Killing Floor 2.
