Killing Floor 2 is a First Person Shooter video game, and
the sequel of the 2009 game ‘Killing Floor’.
Although Killing Floor 2 has already been released on PC, it is an ‘early
access’ version. The full release is
scheduled for release later in 2015 on PC and Playstation 4. Killing Floor 2 can be played solo or coop
with up to six players. The objective is
to fight through waves of monsters, known as ‘zeds’ until you can take on the
boss monster. Each game can be set up
with different wave lengths from easy with 4 waves, up to hard with 10
waves. The game staggers the zed amounts
depending on how many players are competing at the time meaning the game will
be a challenge regardless if you are alone or with five other players.
Each player can choose one of four classes currently.
Support, Commando, Medic, and berserker.
Additional classes may be added once the game has had its full
release. Each of the classes has perks
that can be upgraded if players can utilize the classes’ weapons and skills.
For example, the support class can gain experience from using shotgun weapons
and welding doors shut to keep the zeds at bay.
As they level up there are given a percentage boost to their class. Again as an example, the support class will
have additional welding power and can penetrate more enemies with shotgun based
weapons. As players level up, at certain
levels, they can unlock perks. The game
will consist of ten perks, with four weapon tiers spread across them. Each perk provides the player with a set of
passive bonuses and skills.
Killing Floor 2 currently has 11 different zeds and 1 boss
currently. Each of these zeds has traits
that can cause players difficulty if they do not pay attention. With the larger zeds, like the Scrake and
fleshpound, who charge and players and consistently attack them with their
weapons until either the player dies, or they do.
Killing Floor 2 early access is currently available on Steam
for £19.99. Come and join the carnage.
