Difficulty is in the mechanics not the game. 90% of my hits come from waiting on the interact button. I've had zombie hordes spawn directly on me during multiplayer for an instant kill. The bots are worthless. There's about a million guides on how to use them and the improvements are minimum. For whatever reason the bots refuse to shoot at the closest zombie; so you cant ever focus on the objective because you have to fight the horde too. I average per level 750-1200 zombie kills and the bots will have 70-120. The bots also love to walk in front of you while shooting making explosives terrible to use. Its so close to being a good game, but it needs some pretty big updates.

I really like this game, nothing better than facing hordes of Zombies and trying to survive. The characters are varied so you'll find one that suits your play style. Prestige a character boosts your available skills and equipment as does upgrading your weapons for increased damage. There is a good variety of maps and plenty of challenges within. The difficulty levels also provide a real challenge to complete maps on a higher difficulty.

I started off playing solo and soon learnt that it's a slow process levelling but I did get more familiar with the maps and how to succeed. Lately I have opted for public games and especially horde mode which is real fun. Finding groups is not so bad either due to a cross platform system so frequently I will be teamed up with various console and PC gamers. This doesn't really affect things at all. I have had the occasion game crash but not to a point where it puts me off playing.

In all, this is a great game and worth grabbing especially when discounted. I would like to see more maps released plus special zombies. 8/10 from me :)

A bit buggy and very grindy but spectacular horde shooter. If you're looking for endless overwhelming swarms, this game is for you. There are only 3 survival maps, but they are fun, and difficulty scale with number of players. There is no pause but your progress save after every wave you survive. Feel free to quit the game any time. What you grind is skill tree and gun upgrades. Become the ultimate survivor.

Some people prefer Killing Floor, but to me KF feels slower and cringe with their clown theme events. In KF I can pop heads whole game. In contrast, here you can hold full-auto fire mode and fail to stop one direction of swarm. You have to think of a way to cheese zombies around you to slow them down. You can use fences, elevations, windows, electric and razor wire traps to avoid sudden death or failure. Also, you look after turrets that run out of ammo and break. Between swarms you can scavenge area for supplies and heavy weapons.

The essential class for survival at late game is Fixer. You'll need at least 1 Fixer to provide cheap ammo supply with damage boost. And support type Fixer can choose masking gas grenades and protect whole team in a complete disaster.
