You can choose a handful of the many on offer going into battle, enabling you to effectively create distinct builds for your characters – focusing on melee or tanking, for instance. Instead, these are cards earned through play and bought with rewards. This is not quite a randomised deck as you’d find in, say, Hearthstone. But you’d also have to ask after a few rounds of the 30-odd missions, why bother? You’re mowing down zoms, frantically backing away from the horde while emptying clips and forgoing much in the way of strategy.Ĭlearly, that thought occurred to the developers too because their twist here is the card system that acts as a gameplay modifier in each episode of the campaign. As a tribute act, Back 4 Blood nails the imitation. Survival is the main priority as you career from safehouse to safehouse but occasionally quest objectives such as planting a bomb or recovering an item come into play. You and three players – bots or humans – are thrust into gloomy, putrid stages seething with angry undead. That game created the ground rules of four players abandoned to fight a massive horde of zombies, juiced up with special-ability demons and an AI “director” that reacted to your skill level.ī4B follows that post-apocalyptic playbook to a T, bringing a modern sheen to the 13-year-old blueprint but essentially leaving the core alone.
They involve much less risk thanks to a recognisable name and an established fan base who will shell out year after year for a mild update of a familiar premise.īack 4 Blood occupies a strange middle ground in that it’s neither a straight sequel nor a completely new game from the same people who created the masterful co-op shooter Left 4 Dead back in 2008.
This co-operative action horror FPS takes you and your friends through the cities, swamps and cemeteries of the Deep South, from Savannah to New Orleans across five expansive campaigns.GAME corporations love sequels as much as Hollywood adores franchises. Set in the zombie apocalypse, Left 4 Dead 2 (L4D2) is the highly anticipated sequel to the award-winning Left 4 Dead, the #1 co-op game of 2008.
