Themes from a helpfulness-selected sample of Steam reviews, not the aggregate Steam score.
In an outbreak-ravaged Europe, players take the role of civilians and mercenaries fighting specimen clones called Zeds. Play alone or team up with as many as five other players to clear dangerous areas.
Combat centers on surviving successive enemy waves. Players use firearms and melee attacks against different Zed types, earn money during a match, and use breaks between waves to buy weapons and prepare for what follows.
Choose from specialized perks that shape weapons and abilities, then develop them through progression and talent choices. The game also offers a Humans-versus-Zeds mode, where teams take turns playing each side, and Zed Time, which slows the action during combat.
Players often praise the satisfying shooting and headshots, the frantic wave-based fights, and the fun of coordinating with friends. Reviews also highlight the variety of perks and weapons, which gives players room to try different roles and builds, and the replay value of returning for more matches. Some enjoy the gore and soundtrack as part of the game's distinctive combat feel.
