Of course, you also have the standard basic stat bonuses, such extra damage for class-specific weapons. A level 5 medic, for example, can choose between a health or damage resistance increase. You can also time your blocks to knock back specimens.Īs you play matches, your class, or “perk,” as the game calls it, levels up, and you get to choose from some bonuses.
When wielding a melee weapon, you can swipe up, left, down, or right, as well as perform both light and heavy attacks. In terms of melee, the system is not complex, but it also doesn’t feel like something just slapped together. The variety here is appreciated, although some, such as the SCAR-H, can feel a bit gratuitous when other weapons in the same class are perfectly functional. In terms of ranged, you have weapons such as the HMTech-201 SMG, SCAR-H assault rifle, AR-15, rail gun, and even a microwave gun. In terms of weapons, you have quite a few to choose from in both melee and ranged categories. That said, players will likely find enough fun in handling the various weapons in the game and the explosive gore to continue. This can occur due to your medic being taken out, backing into an unseen horde and cornered while reloading, or being taken down by a mutant wielding an arm cannon known as a Husk.Īs you can likely tell, Killing Floor 2 is quite a repetitive game as you play the same challenge time and again while magnetic enemies and some predictable special creatures charge forward to overwhelm you. There are also moments of pure chaos as hulking creatures such as the Fleshpound scatters your team or a demon grabs you from behind unexpectedly.Īlthough the basic strategy of “Stay grouped, conserve ammo, and know when to run” is quite uncomplicated, it is still easy, on the harder levels (and even the easier ones, if somebody is careless enough) to fail out on wave four of ten. There are cautious moments in which players will need to group up, heal each other, ant attempt to take down arachnid creatures and cloaked acrobats bursting through every doorway around. Now, one month after the events, the outbreak has managed to spread beyond the borders of Europe, effectively causing communication systems to fail and governments to collapse.Īs you play Killing Floor 2, you will most likely do so in multiplayer Survival mode, which simply sends increasingly challenging waves of enemies at your group of six or fewer players to see how long you can survive. Between these waves, you will be able to pick up armor, ammo, and other weapons via in-match currency. As a countermeasure, the British government organizes ragtag teams of surviving British Army soldiers and Special Branch police officers to fight back. Though the police continue to attempt to fight back, their efforts are in vain. Eventually, they manage to overrun the internal security forces and break out to the surface, disrupting a peace protest and consuming the civilians despite the best efforts of the local police force. Unfortunately, during the experimentation, something goes horribly wrong, and human subjects start to exhibit grotesque mutations and disfigurement while becoming increasingly hostile. For those unaware, in the original, a biotechnology company known as Horzine Biotech has been contracted to conduct military experiments involving mass cloning and genetic manipulation.
The plot of Killing Floor 2 takes place a month after the original. A bit of a different beast from the titles I normally review, I was given the chance to check out Killing Floor 2. Will slaughtering the hordes of Zeds be as entertaining as it was in the original?
