A review of Killing Floor 2

Disclaimer: Blood and gore ahead

Great Way to pass the time

This game is relatively simple. It is a wave based shooter that kind of reminds you of COD Zombies. The idea is pretty simple, you choose a class, kill zeds to get money, upgrade your guns, and beat the game. The game ends after you completed a set amount of waves, and you beat a final boss on the final wave. You can also set the number of waves and the difficulty.

Let’s start with the classes

There are 10 classes or perks. Berserker, commando, support, field medic, demolitionist, firebug, gunslinger, sharpshooter, survivalist, and swat. These perks are pretty straight forward. Berserker uses melee, sharpshooter uses a sniper, firebug gets a flamethrower etc. These classes also level up the more you use them, making their special abilities better. Now this does not limit you to a certain weapons loadout, because you still have access to the entire arsenal. The only thing that changes is your weapon effectiveness.

Now the buy system

You start off with a standard pistol. And as you get kills, you earn money. At the end of every round, a trader pod opens up in a random location and you can spend that money you earned on new guns, ammo, grenades, and armor. The shop is set up in different tabs too, and they are separated based on class. This allows you to pick the right guns for your class.

Whats the gameplay like

Well, what do you get when you mix 6 people, a hundred zeds, guns, explosions, and rock music? The answer is intense gameplay. Oh boy can this game get intense. You can have 1 to 6 players, along with offline play. From running around trying not to die, to using a welder to keep doors shut, there are a few options for figuring out how to survive. There are even awesome slow motion moments for when you get a headshot and spatter the enemies brains.

What are the enemies like

There are 20 different specimen types, but I am not going to list them all here. These 20 ZEDs are sorted into 5 classes, they are weak, medium, big, elite, and boss. And each specimen has their own special attack style. From invisible hunters, to large vomiting chefs, there is no lack of enemy types here.

So is the game worth it

Yes, depending on your interests. This game is a wave based shooter with tons of blood, gore, and mass amounts of bodily fluids. So if that sounds fun to you then go for it.

Graphics: 8/10 (The enemy models are great, but can freeze at the end of rounds)

Gameplay: 9/10 (The gameplay is fun, hectic, and immersive)

Fun: 9/10 (Great to play with friends, do stupid challenges, and just to waste time in general)

Overall: 8/10 (Is fun, but pretty repetative)
