Hitler’s hordes are back for more in this spine-chilling shooter from the makers of Sniper Elite 4! Abominable occult enemies, epic weapons and a harrowing new campaign for 1-4 players await in 1940s Europe, as you fight to save humankind from undead Armageddon!
Players can utilize a wide variety of weapons, from bolt-action rifles to fully automatic machine guns, to mow down hordes of the undead. Each shot carries a tangible sense of impact, with a satisfying recoil and meaty sound design. The slow-motion kill cams reward precise headshots, allowing players to watch in gory detail as their bullets tear through the zombies' skulls.
In addition to the standard shambling undead, the game introduces a diverse array of zombie threats. Players must face heavily armored elites that require carefully aimed shots to take down, suicide bombers that explode in a shower of gore, sniiper zombies that pick off players from a distance, and hulking "zombie tanks" that require coordinated team efforts to destroy. Adapting one's strategy and weapon choice to counter these varied foes is key to survival.
Withstanding brutal waves of zombies is a core focus of the gameplay. The "combo" system encourages players to dispatch enemies in quick succession, rewarding them with higher scores. As the horde grows larger and more relentless, players must carefully manage their ammunition, health, and special abilities to avoid becoming overwhelmed. The tension and adrenaline of these horde encounters is palpable.
A robust progression system allows players to unlock and upgrade a variety of weapons, perks, and character abilities. This includes elemental modifications for firearms, such as incendiary or electrical rounds, as well as passive skills that can enhance combat effectiveness or provide support for the team. The depth of customization enables players to tailor their playstyle and create synergistic builds.
While the game can be played solo, the core experience is designed for cooperative play with up to four players. Working together to survive the onslaught, revive downed teammates, and coordinate abilities adds a layer of depth and tension to the combat. Covering each other's backs and strategizing as a team is essential for success, making the co-op experience the true highlight of the game.
