They do not try and reinvent the wheel here. This is a great example of how you do a sequel right.
If you liked what the original Killing Floor offered, you will really love what Killing Floor 2 is bringing to the table. I am a huge metal head so having a rocking soundtrack while I am blasting away hordes of ZED’s just made me even more pumped up and ready for action. The soundtrack that Killing Floor 2 has could not be any more perfect for this game. As a result, the gore and violence are even more over the top than it was before. Yet the different ZED designs and the levels do have a much higher quality look to them this time around. I am not saying that Killing Floor 2 is going to win any awards for the way it looks. One other area that Killing Floor 2 improves over the first game is the presentation. I do think that it serves as a nice distraction and if you can get a large number of people you know playing together then it can be even more fun. While I did not have as much fun with Versus Survival as I did the main game mode. However, if you play as one of the smaller, weaker and dare I say lamer ZED’s it is not as much fun. In theory, playing as a ZED should be awesome and if you get one of the bigger more powerful ones it is. In this mode, one team plays as the humans and the other plays as the zombies (ZED’s) and it is a fun mode, but it could have used a little more effort. One new mode that is added to Killing Floor 2 is Versus Survival. Healing each other and sharing items as well as making use of your special perks once you have them all make the game so much more fun and also rewarding when your teamwork pays off. When a boss appears (there are only two bosses!) you have to work together or else they will pick you off one at a time. Like the first Killing Floor, Killing Floor 2 greatly encourages teamwork. The earlier levels are hard, but manageable as long as you work as a team, even when using basic stuff. I liked to use basic stuff for as long as possible so I could save up my money and get the best items possible. Killing Floor 2 is awesome at always making you feel like the odds are stacked against you and at the end of a wave, your controller will be soaked in sweat!Īs you play the game you earn money and it is up to you how you use this money. The problem you have is the sheer number of them that come at you at once.
You will eventually figure out what is the best way to take out a certain kind of enemy. There is a great variety of zombies such as ones that shoot yucky stuff at you to these super creepy witch looking ones. Killing Floor 2 is still all about surviving wave after wave of zombie (ZED) attack. This can take you a few hours so until then the perks do kind of feel a little samey, but that is not meant as a major criticism of the game. You see you cannot actually unlock your special skills for a perk until you are level 5. I feel that there is a lot of diversity to the classes, but it can take a while to get there. Killing Floor 2 has ten different ones for you to choose from these range from a field medic who is fast and all about healing the team to a demolitions expert that can use C4 to blow stuff up.
These are basically the classes that you get to play as. Killing Floor 2 brings back the perks from the first game.
