Killing Floor

Set in the aftermath of failed military cloning experiments in England, Killing Floor casts you as a soldier sent to clear areas overrun by mutated specimens. Play alone offline or team up with as many as five other players. Each match centers on surviving successive enemy waves across open, non-linear locations. Choose where to hold or retreat, coordinate with your team, and weld doors shut to redirect the horde. Earn money during fights and spend it between waves on weapons, armor, and support equipment. Select a perk to specialize your role, improve its skills through persistent progression, and use ZEDtime slow motion during combat.

Fight mutant waves in England as a soldier, choosing your class, weapons, and holdout tactics alone or with up to five others.

Multiplayer Killing Floor supports solo offline play and online co-op multiplayer. Official store text states cooperative gameplay for up to 6 players against waves of enemies, and Steam lists Cross-Platform Multiplayer and Online Co-Op. Reviews repeatedly describe server-based play, joinable matches, and custom/community servers; standard play is PvE, with no normal PvP mode, though some reviews mention PvP only via mods or PvP servers.
Multiplayer & mods The game includes a Windows-only SDK, Steam Workshop support, and a level editor. Reviews mention mods and custom servers adding maps, weapons, zeds, bosses, perks, game types, larger player-count servers, and some PvP variants such as GunGame. Modded servers can change multiplayer rules and scale beyond the standard 6-player format, but the store text only confirms up to 6-player co-op.
