One of the greatest Fps shooters during its time. Definitely was at its peak between 2009 and 2011 which is where I started playing. You've met some of the friendliest players that were completely badass at the game.
Don't be fooled by the almost 100 hours I've put in this game, Because I definitely have put more into this game as a child, roughly a few hundred more.
Solo is doable even on the hardest difficulty, but I recommend level your perks first before you do that. My brother and I always duo Hell on Earth, absolute madness!
Custom made games are pretty chill, although sometimes it detracts from the actual experience because of all the modded crap that's put into. However if you want more variety in the way you play while having a OP weapons that you can level and increase its overall effectiveness? Its made for you then.
Should you get the DLC'S? Never purchased them, neither should I say you shouldn't. If you want more guns to play with and content, go for it.

The real experience is playing with friends. Get a group of 6 people on the regular Killing Floor experience and you can see why the game is one of the greatest Fps's ever made.
It's simplicity and how the game conveys the message of Ripping and Tearing, except with a butt load of guns, seriously intense recoil, and movement that makes you want to shoot yourself.
Enemy Variety is small, however that doesn't matter because you'll remember every single mutant in the game and recognize their strengths and weaknesses just by killing them 100 times more.
Is this game scary? Yup, you'll get jump scared by mutants who appear out of nowhere, or walk behind you before you notice, or getting stuck in a corner and you can't escape from a flesh pounder or scrake.

Conclusion? Even over a decade after its release, people still play the Original Killing Floor. This game is still active, albeit not like 2010 when lobbies where always full and you could never join them, when you could just make a lobby yourself and get like 5 other players in 10 seconds. Though that doesn't matter because Killing Floor still has an active community, and its still a game that people play to this day. Killing Floor is the greatest example of Co-op survival game and should NOT be pushed off just as a "Generic Shooter", because its way more than that.

Gather 5 other friends, play the difficulty fit for for your group, and shoot your way through objectively one of the best combinations of 1990's Heavy metal and Industrial metal, as I believe the band who songs were featured here were DIRGE (There is also a youtube comment on the Killing Floor Soundtrack who knew DIRGE in real life and was in studio with them when band was just recording, and he said it was a Mind****). Which I googled DIRGE and found they were a french industrial metal band before they moved on to Progressive metal now (not sure if they're still active). Though I believe the rest of the music is probably another composer as the CEO of Tripwire is a religious dude so others say its Christian Metal which prob KF2 would be the case, but for me definitely not KF1, because the music itself is incredibly heavy and sounds like a bunch of dudes experimenting with instruments in a steel factory.

I recommend you don't miss out on this game, this game is incredibly fun, and you can always come back and play a few games and enjoy it even after a decade. Worth the Purchase.
