It’s LFD3 in all but name. Same dev house is making this, minus Valve as publisher

Reminds me of that skit Siractionslacks did with Gaben during one of the TIs. They try to get him to say 3 and he cant actually say the word.

They should call it Generic Dialogue Zombie Game. But yeah I'm in. I could never get my son to play L4D or Vermintide but maybe this one will be the trick!

Initially, I WAS interested in this…but they lost me at ‘build your deck of cards before each mission’.

So it should just be another repetitive entry into the horde survival genre rather than an attempt at innovating some new angle on the gameplay? The card system is the only reason I'm interested in this at all.

Its a co-op zombie shooter. I want big guns, big explosions, lots of horde, and zero thinking. Not strategy on which cards to spec for a mission.

Strategy element that you grind does give the game more legs, though. Especially if you run harder versions of the non-PVP parts.

Left4Dead the strategy was usually "run really fucking fast so all the infected spawns get messed up and you just yolo past 80% of the map"

What's the card thing about? They taking a zombie shooter and turning into some magic the gathering neck beard shit?

World War Z already exists and is a perfectly fine up to date co-op zombie shooter. It has very clean gameplay and a hook in the semi-stealthy sections between the loud horde sections. Why should I spend money on Back 4 Blood if it doesn't have some kind of unique hook of its own?

If you played FO76, think perk cards

If you haven’t, it’s basically a talent system

yeah, these games become significantly less fun once you "solve" them.

Vermintide tried cosmetics to reward long term play. A kindof terrible item/weapon system. Events/rewards. and winds of chaos to spice things up.

They probably just should have not called it "cards". Afflictions/boons/virtues, etc..
