As players progress through each run, they will earn supply that can be exchanged back at base for new cards. Some cards will give the cleaner 15% health, others will provide 10% movement speed but -20% stamina recovery, ones may change the normal bash attack into a knife jab for more damage, etc. These cards are made up of various buffs, abilities and weapons that will aid cleaners on their runs. This is the first decision that players need to make when starting a run in B4B, just deciding which cleaner to play will decide their role on the team and playstyle but that’s only just the beginning.Īs I mentioned above B4B also includes some deckbuilding elements, players will be able to construct a deck of cards that will be played before each level. In addition to the team bonus each cleaner has personal abilities, Doc can heal one player for 25 health once per level and has 20% healing proficiency which makes her an invaluable member of any team. Each of the available cleaners (8 in total) have different abilities, each of them affecting the team as a whole For instance, Hoffman provides 10% ammo capacity for the team, which is invaluable as many will run out of bullets. The folks at Turtle Rock have added quite a bit of depth in this game, mixing in elements of roguelike and deckbuilding they have managed to craft a game that is heavy on action, teamplay and palm sweaty tension.
Platforms: Xbox (reviewed), PlayStation, PCĪnd finding the right mix of skills is paramount in Back 4 Blood, you see, its not just about moving from safe room to safe room and killing undead as fast as possible anymore. While they all run the gamut from seasoned, veterans like the ‘Sarah Conner’ inspired Mom to the charm of and youth of Evangelo the eclectic mix of personalities and skills make for entertaining runs.
#Back 4 blood reviews how to#
Whereas the older game just put everyday people in an extraordinary situation, the team of cleaners that one controls in B4B know how to kill and have no problems with it. In a stark contrast from the L4D games, the characters the players control here are mercenaries of sorts. Much like L4D, a lot of the reasonings to why this is happening, why people are turning into monsters and such isn’t immediately known all that’s certain is that the group of cleaners need to survive it. Try as they might to match the success, no one really came close and with Valve seemingly not interested in making Left 4 Dead 3 the original developers Turtle Rock Studios took matters into their own hands and have returned with Back 4 Blood.īack 4 Blood shares quite a bit with its forbearer Left 4 Dead both games feature hordes of undead but in Back 4 Blood these shamblers are known as ‘Ridden’. Creating a craze that lasted years, where zombies became the main antagonist in so many games. This is not an exaggeration but a provable fact.
Left 4 Dead is a legendary franchise that changed gaming.
