You know what? I am laughing at the people that compared KF with L4D. I know, L4D has better graphics, but KF is a totally different game! There are no zombies, there are specimens, a lot more weapons in KF than in L4D,L4D is too linear,KF isn't linear at all! I had a lot more fun playing KF than playing L4D(although to some people it gets repetitive), and KF is much more cheaper! And it's one of the best games ever to play with friends! Overall:KF is a very fun game with fine graphics assuming that it's made using the unreal engine 2.5, a lot of weapons available, a great non-linear game, but sometimes repetitive, very cheap! 8 word summary: A non-linear, underrated game, it's a true bargain.… Expand

After played over 100 hours within the first weed, i would have to agree with the other user comments on the subject of reviewers not knowing how to rate games. While it does get "repetitive" there are a number of ways to enhance your playing experience. From different guns, to different positions, this game has hours and hours of fun playing time! Get together with 5 of your friends and try out different perks and see which gun suits you best. Great Friday night fun!… Expand

This game was simply amazing, i have spent hours playing it, why? Because of its simple addictive game play that keeps me coming back for more. And of course im going to compare it to L4D, L4D has great graphics, great sound, but it only has 4 characters and is extremely linear. Whereas Killing Floor as about 10 or so characters, it has several levels that are not linear, both made by the developers and made by the players. L4D only has about 8 weapons total, Killing Floor has so many weapons, but im to lazy to name them all, hah. KIlling Floor is a great game, and for the $20 price tag, it is just a better buy for anyone looking for some good ol' co-op shooting action.… Expand

I tried killing floor out when they had a free weekend on Steam, I wanted to get my moneys worth out of free, so i played the shit out of it, 30 hours of free later, i bought it on monday. 6 Player classes mean you can easily adjust your playing style if its not working. $15/232 hours and i'm gonna play some more tonight ;)

This is indeed a very underrated game. Sure the graphics are outdated and the objective can get a bit repetitive but that aside Killing Floor has a superb and addictive gameplay, especially in multiplayer. To compare it with L4D or L4D2 is not really fair in my opinion. I love both those games, but Killing Floor just gives you so much with so little effort. It's a bit like in some games where you can almost sense the scripting kind of guides you through the game or dictates what you need to do. Here the premise is much more simple: "I'll throw a bunch of weapons and zombies out there - you just stay alive, I don't care how". It's primitive but immensely satisfying and it still get's updated with new and cheap content.… Expand

Not a bad game, occasionally fun to play, but not so good as certain say. Graphics are low quality, which would not have been a problem if it had been better optimized. I was obliged to min almost all the specs to have an acceptable framerate (which is odd for a game using such an old engine). The enemy AI is really crappy, so there is no real tactic in this game, they only spawn and walk ridiculously to you. Also I really don't like the perk system, which seems to me a cheap way to increase replay value. So, fun to relax killing zombies from time to time, but nowhere as good as L4D (sorry to put this comparison once more). Another thing: I thought that the levels where open at first, but they are much smaller than I thought, you quickly know all the Map, and they don't seem to be huge. Turning around farms outrunning zombies, occasionally killing one or two who arrived near you, is quickly getting old.… Expand

Despite this game having the lowest metacritic score on my games list, it's undoubtedly my most played. The game is simple yet addictive. Killing Floor doesn't hide behind shiny graphics or a carefully crafted backstory to get you "entertained", it throws you in a map with guns, friends, and a horde of mutants and says "enjoy". If you're more concerned with how well wet rocks reflect light than blasting that monster gnawing on your arm, then the game isn't for you. There's a ton of servers even after you put on plenty of filters, so there's never a worry about not finding a server to play on, the only downfall is that you never know what wave the server is on; joining matches where they're a round from the final boss or already killing it happens way too often. Overall, I give this game a 10/10 simply because the ratio of the hours I've played verses money I spent exceeds 10; in fact, it exceeds 20. eat that L4D.… Expand

Nice game, odesn´t have the best graphics but it really works...(You need a 3d artist like me hahahah) Good job Tripwire!!

Extremely fun game that deserves more recognition. It can get pretty difficult at times unless you have a good team

When I first played this I thought it was a bit rubbish, but after getting past the highly annoying character voices, and weird feel to this game I actually found it to be amazingly good fun, in my opinion much more fun than l4d2. Better weapons, the melee weapons for example are actually varied and have different effects. Iron sights/scope with all guns, flamethrowers, auto-shotguns, medics with medic guns. No friendly fire which is much better than l4d - mainly because of my lame aim. You can change the music easily to .ogg's of your choice, custom maps, mods etc. It is great, like a mix of call of duty world at war nazi zombies mixed with l4d.… Expand

If you liked Left 4 Dead a lot, but it's gotten old after over 9000 hours of gameplay, this is a must-buy. Lots of zombie types, all with different interesting abilities, 6 "perks" to choose from that give bonuses related to your main playstyle (but do not limit you in any way), and lots of weapons. Glitches and other associated oddities exist (can't pick up ammo from weapons on the ground for example), but infrequent enough that the game is certainly fun. The creators are paying VERY good attention to it, fixing these glitches left and right, so don't let that stop you. This game would be a 10 without those glitches and other bothersome things, but they're going away fast, so if you don't buy now, check it out eventually.… Expand

The best zombie game I've played in years. Left for dead had talent, but the sheer Cockney screams of "Someone shat that b*tch up!" more then overrule. Gameplay is non-pretentious, basically a good old fashioned point into crowd and fire deal, with an interesting trader function. Plus, the teamplay benefit is well enforced- the zombies come from everywhere, even with the biggest weapon in the game a sole player is overwhelmed. The graphics are awesome for an online-built game. The Z-tiem function is probably one of the coolest things I've seen in an online shooter. Full marks, I have no qualms with this fantastically British zombie shooter.… Expand

The main reviews for this game make me laugh. "The game is so low-budget" ... yes it started as a much-beloved FREE mod. Even the mod still has players.. players that have other games but still come back to this _ZERO_ budget game because it's so fun. What does budget have to do with anything? And who cares about the latest developments in DX11 graphics.. it's not about the engine it's about the art. The visceral thump of firing a high caliber round and the intense moment of blasting a hole through the face of a zombie 6 inches away accompanied by a slight zoom effect and an extra loud BANG.. it's supposed to be gritty and blurry and dark and muddy. Not perfectly rendered grit with beautiful blur effects and sharp darkness and flawlessly rendered mud. It's a struggle through a zombie shitstorm and I'd rather have my Winchester and a grenade than some shiny graphic effects.… Expand

Absolute great game! just when you think you're "getting bored of the game", TWI kicks in with more updates, FREE content, and unrivaled support. the 45 score that Absolute Games (never heard of em) gave should have never been counted. absolute bs, period. the same people gave L4D a 93. obviously their intent to slander a game just because it "rivals" a game that they're all fanboys of. metascore, think before you allow crap like that to happen. this game is at least an 84. most rediculous rating i've ever seen.… Expand

Increible, un juegazo. No se le puede comparar ni el L4D, ya que el juego de Valve es un bodrio injugable por el lag ademas de las pocas armas que hay. En Killing Zone encontramos mas armas, una aceptable personalizacion, enemigos muy realistas, "slow motion", accion terrorifica ( perderse mientras buscas a tus compañeros sabiendo k hay decenas de bichos escalofriantes es brutal ) Aunque hay que nombrar, sobretodo, los ESCENARIOS, en mayuscula para que se vea, porque son los escenarios online mas bien trabajados que e visto nunca ( por encima de CoD 4 que no es poco ) los de Tripware son unos Ases… Expand

I give KF a 10, not only because it is 20 dollars and backed with hefty support and oncoming free content, but because its raging fun and l4d..just isn't very fun to me.. not like KF. KF is using a shooters engine which is perfect for what it is. MOD or not it doesn't matter, KF is an example of a great game for little out of pocket expense and this will prove to be a wise move for tripwire. l4d on the other hand is a mod as well .. but was not worth the 49.95 usd when it hit steam..l4d2 is also a mod playing a bit of catch up to kf and adding more melee weapons to make up some slack..to me KF hands down OWNS L4D.. one other thing..it slightly reminds me of doom 3.. to me this is a huge plus bc i loved dooms enemies and i love KF's even better. love the dark gritty level tones and designs & cant wait for the heavy metal pack..get it.. its fantastic.… Expand

Ok id like to address the negative comments. "Threepenny lighting and jerky animation are the worst horrors you’ll see here." you sir fail. The lighting is SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THAT! Its supposed to be dark and gritty you retard! No idea what hes saying about the animation, looks fine to me! This is a brilliant game and for 20 bucks its a steal. anyone who rates this game under 7 obviously doesnt have any friends to play it with. this game + skype/vent/ingame mic + forwarded ports + 1-5 friends = WTFOMGBBQLOLROFLLMAO… Expand

This game kicks butt for 20 dollars it goes a long way. i have left 4 dead also but this game is amazingly different in its own way. Some how it is more fun to play than left 4 dead i enjoy the 6 player co-op as we battle different creatures with odd additions to there body. i mean come on a chainsaw for a hand how cool .

This game is really addicting, fast-paced, and requires the best teamwork to pass and conquer the waves coming at you. It has only one mode and purpose, but many will be surprised how many hours will be spent just killing every thing in sight. If someone doesn't enjoy this game I feel sorry for them. Even if it's a knock-off from Unreal Tour. Killing Floor brings the zombie killing coop I've been aching to have. Also with upgradeable perks and destructive weapons of all sorts, the slaughter of undead specimens will bring you back wanting to play again. 20 dollars for this is a bargain and shouldn't be passed up with an fun game like this. Definitely a must buy.… Expand

I rated this game for two reasons. 1) I'm here, why not. 2) It's score is far too low for a brilliant game such as this. Fun cannot be any more brutal than this, and I would prefer this to Left4Dead anyday, seeing as though it is cheaper and more enjoyable.

THIS GAME ROCKS .... in my honest opinion better than L4D just a bit .... I like the gameplay and the weapons are pretty fun ... perks are quite useful and each lvl helps you attain to the next ... the difficulty of the game is pretty well balanced hard is pretty hard and it requires good communication of players to defeat the patriarch overall nice game and only 20 bucks

Now Im not usually one to enjoy a game just because it's fun, as I am an eye candy junkie and a "good story renders good game" kind of person, But for killing floor I have to make an exception. It is absolutely THE most fun and replayable game I may have ever played. Where Left 4 Dead lacked in challenge and just pure grittiness, here it is, in a convinient $20 price tag. weapons are hella fun to use (shotgun packs a blow never before seen in a video game) Classes are fun to level, but in the end you'll find the support class the obvious choice for a standalone defense agianst the specimens. Although, the game focuses on cooperation and therefore a variety of classes IS important. For instance, the firebug class is great for cooperation as he can efficiently weild a flamethrower which greatly weakens and suppresses enemies to be picked off, and also rarely requires a reload. Gibbing heads off of specimens with a chainsaw as your teamates pick off enemies behind you by rifle is also a great blast. Overall what really saves the replay value of this game is fast paced rounds, numerous custom maps (as there is currently a very devoted community) And most importantly a true challenge for players who choose hard or scuicidal difficulty, making the numerous achievements very hard, but rewarding to attain. Even on normal the game is quite hard becase of the final boss each round (aka PATRIARCH) which is VERY,VERY HARD to kill and requires heavy teamwork and quick planning (which you have only 30 secs. to a minute to do so) In my opinion He should be one of the hardest bosses of all time, considering how often he wipes out a trained 6 player team no sweat. Overall, a MUST buy for all gamers looking for a gritty, challenging coop "zombie" shooter.… Expand

A little undeserving of a low 70 score I feel. While Left 4 Dead as its main competitor has much better graphics, characters, animations and such, L4D does feel like its in need of a real story that it simply doesn't have. In this way I felt a little let down by L4D, but Killing Floor doesn't even attempt a story, its you and 5 other people locked in with a horde of increasingly powerful specimins where if you don't kill them first they kill you. And ironically because it doesn't attempt a story, you dont feel it needs one. Although an emphasis can be made on teamwork, it isn't absolutely required for play, and there isn't any of that Smoker snatching the sole survivor out of the safe room just as they go to slam the door kind of irritation. It may be low budget, but the vast number of custom maps, great variety of weapons and cleverly balanced perks make it a fragfest that any survival gamer would be daft to miss. You could certainly do alot worse for £15… Expand

This game seamed to of slipped below the radar for me until they released the last patch which I saw on the steam news. I got it for 17.99 on sale, which was a steal compared to L4D which was 49.99 when I bought it. The zombie combat is a lot more realistic than L4D, and the ability to behead the zombies to make them weaker and blind is awesome. The classes make the different weapons much more effective.… Expand

Fun game to play solo but gets very boring. Multi-player is a lot more fun. Tripwire is slow in adding custom maps to their white list of servers for perks so after a dozen or so times on the same maps it gets repetitive. It is a challenge playing on the harder settings because you can get backed into a corner and get mobbed real fast. I'd love to see Tripwire add more maps or add more custom maps to the white list for perks.… Expand

Who doesnt like a zombie killing game? and you can make your own levels and increase the player count? as well as what zombies spawn? not even close the the 71 it got... although the last update with the weapons kinda changed the game to be more easy. Still this game should be in the eighty's.

I normally never bother writing reviews for games on sites like this. But I felt that some things had to be said. Don't listen to the idiotic critics. They probably spent an hour with the game after it released and jumped to a conclusion after that. Also, some of their score %s seem quite low for the amount of good things they say about the game. In the past... almost half a year since this game released, I have put hundreds of hours into it. Literally around 10x the length of time that L4D held my interest. It is really fun, the guns handle much better (there's ironsights!) and there are much more of them, more enemy types, TONS of user created maps, and, best of all, the game is challenging on the higher difficulties without being cheap about it like L4D is. If you're a skilled player you can survive on your own in most situations, instead of getting pinned down by a hunter/smoker the second your other team mates die. It's $20, just buy it and play it for a few days and judge for yourself.… Expand

Great gameplay, awesome graphics for an old engine and great sound effects/music and a good atmosphere to match. For the price they're selling the game, It's a steal!

Only bad thing is bugs and lack of content. But since this is TRIPWIRE we are talking about those will soon be fixed and the game will be flawless.

It seems Killing Floor is destined to be that rare gem of a game, loved and played by those who accidentally discover it, as opposed to having advertising and review sites forced down their throats... which all in all is probably better for the game and its community but still, its a shame that Killing Floor has flown under the radar. Killing Floor is to UT what Counterstrike is to Source. A Raw mod with a few maps and a lot of potential, and that potential is very quickly being realized by its community, with 32 Community made maps in its first 9 days, Killing Floor looks set to have as illustrious a life as the engine its based off. I lost more hours of my life to UT2004 than I care to remember, and Killing Floor is becoming an equal obsession. besides, nothing quite beats the feel of fighting an epic boss on a 100 man server who has more hit points than god... and actually taking him down. Killing Floor is an amazingly fun and addictive game, with whats shaping up to be a highly talented and creative modding community ported over from the Unreal Modding community... and all this for a price tag of $20? Killing Floor, Its Unreal Tournament with Zombies... it should be a no brainier.… Expand

This is a great game in my opinion i have to admit it isnt the best in the area of non bugginess (if there is one??) but its a really fun and addictive game i cant get enough of the slow motion and the trader is a fresh injection into the co-op survival horror (L4D would have been great if they somehow incorporated this) anyway its a great game for only US $20 and is well worth the money and the download. i would buy this game just for the sheer fun of shooting zombies in slow motion (its actually really satisfying in a wierd way)!! well anyway 9 out of 10 it would have got 10 out of 10 but their are limitations with the game and there are a cpl of bugs which will hopefully be fixed.… Expand

I see people say this game is too repetitive, it's just a copy of l4d and it's just a retail version of the ut4mod... To all of these i say... TRY THE GAME! There's no single player, but what the hell, multiplayer is awesome enough!! You wont stop playing, also after 3/4 hr of consecutive gaming. And if you find some friends to play with in a very co-op team (not like the ppl you often meet in public servers) the fun will grow exponentially!! And the price... just 18 Euro... something like 13 Pounds! A must have!!… Expand

This game makes is so fun it combines the thrill of survival that left 4 dead and the ezp and lvl based play of call of duty into a thrilling survival based game only weakness is that there in no competive based game mode but still this game is great.

This game is just plain fun. Its got a decent ok gameplay by yourself but it truly is amazing when it comes to co-op. This game rules and truly stands out by itself. It feels like a good old TD on WC3 in an FPS environment. Left 4 Dead = Point A to Point B Killing Floor = Don't die, kill the boss (Also don't die)

Incredibly great co-op, good in Single Player, looks amazing for being on a five year old engine, and has high chances of constant updates. In general, a amazing zombie shooting game

It gets more and more addictive. I consider this to be on par with Counter Strike Source in terms of replayability. I love it and I can't wait for further updates.

Killing floor the game is far superiour to what the UT 2004 mod was, with better graphics, gameplay and content. Tripwire not only hired the core mod team but did not forget the mod fans and ensures the title continuation with various updates and free add-ons, for a low budget game and a game that comes from the modding commuity it does deserve praise as its fun, diferent and a bit hardcore (in a good sense). Oposing most recent zombie games that are simply dumbed down and more casual, not offering the hardcore gamer a enthusiastic experience.… Expand

it's a very fun game that is waaaayyy better that left 4 dead. theres no cross hair, but it has iron sights, it has differnt types of "zombies" and all are threats and it even has a story, wich is somthing that L4D doesn't. not to mention the cheap price of $20.00 this game deserves a 9 out of 10

Freakishly fun game though I wouldn't call it a "horror" game - more like splatter or hack n slay or something like that... though survival certainly fits ^^ The only drawback is the repetition. Each map play mostly the same. Also some of the shops are placed in a manner that courses the entire team to die in a massacre if there is even one player who hasn't finished shopping in time to get to a better place... I like the game!… Expand

This game when it first started was a surprisingly fun little gem of gameplay. It certainly doesn't come off as being the year's best zombie survival game or claim for anything higher than a general sense of fun in slaughtering zombies (Hence the name killing floor). As a mod turned game I've found that since it's latest level update patch that the graphics have become crisper and the newer perks and weapons have brought on more interest in the game from veterans and new weekenders. My wife and I actually play this game together and ever since she realized she could set specimens on fire with a flamethrower she's been a regular maniac. I myself give this game a 9 for it's replayability and for the fun that it has given me. The only detrimental thing that came into consideration was the near korean mmo experience (IE: 3500 stalkers and 5.5 mil in damage with a bullpup/AK47/SCAR to get rank 6 commando) in grinding out the perk requirements. Other than that there's solid modder's joining the steam community and new maps are being posted and enjoyed constantly. Thanks tripwire for the fun and relatively cheap game that's proven to be more than I had bargained for.… Expand

Fantastic game, only gave it a 9 because leveling perks is so repetitve. If they'd been more creative for perk requirements, i'd have given it an all out 10. Eg: Get 500 headshots, then get 1000, then get 5000, etc etc. Other than that, fantastic game, the voice acting sounds a bit cheesy at first, but it grows on you... And with free content regularly coming out, it's stupid to miss out on this fab game. Don't compareit to L4D, and don't play it with L4D in mind. For a start, you're not killing "zombies" these are clones armed to the teeth with anything from claws to a huge minigun...more than 8 or so enemy types, around 20 weapons, not including those you can dual wield...crossbows, fire axes, shotguns, you name it... Fantastic maps and awesome features make each round a different experience. There's the run and gun, which usually gets you killed, or the weld the doors and direct the horde approach which goes down a treat. About 60 or so achievements which gives you something to aim for if the perk leveling system isn't enough...Just a fab game, and a low price too.… Expand

The game is fun, that graphic are good, unless you compare it to crysis, and other high end graphic physic games. It great to play with friends and other people because it so addictive and almost happins twice in the game but sometimes does.

I didnt expect much from this game, but after downloading it and playing it, it was completely worth it. get it, its amazing.

It's a great game if you got a few good friends to play with online. Love the tactics given by sealing doors and fortifying a farmhouse. By the way, there are well over 200 user made maps! Sure, they aren't all developer-quality, but they alone add much replayability! The graphics look great, whacking the head off a zombie with a fire axe during slow motion couldn't possibly be more awesome! Although yes, the flashlight is quite displeasing. But gameplay is very much more important than graphics - as long as the graphics meet a minimum standard, people need to just stop caring so much. Though they won't... and never will. At least Blizzard has that figured out.… Expand

Its not the new L4D2. HOWEVER, when you want to get out of L4D for a while this is the game you want. You aim for the level 6 perks to get better with lots of awsome fire arms on the side. " The Trader " adds what I wanted with every original zombie FPS shooter. Even if L4D2 is better - thats only ONE step. I love L4D2 and one but if you wanta game other then L4D, get killing floor. You will love every second of it… Expand

Can anyone actually give this a review without mentioning left 4 dead? it seems all of the users who couldent play / or didnt like left for dead came to Killingfloor and now hold it as either in the same tier or higher than l4d. KillingFloor has the qaulity that would you find in a Mod , which is what this game essentially is. This game features only one mode, which gets repetitive after you have played it several times, the AI nothing special, its all scripted. the weaponry seems to be the most developed section, yet you need to buy your weapons from a vendor, the vendor is a female women with quite a repetitive stereotypical english accent with poor dialogue that gets annoying the first time you hear it. the graphics are sub-par , but from a mod why would you expect more? i'l tell you why; because this Mod makes you pay for it, and it is certiantly not worth it. Killingfloor should essentially be free, or it should drastically improve. its no Garrry's Mod, its no Team fortress ( which was orignally a mod ) I cant understand the fuss being generated over this mediocre peice of work. If you like an extremely limited game with alot of weaponry, one reptitive mode , under-developed features and graphics that maby back in 2003 would have been good - then get this game. If you enjoy something which actually feels like it was developed by proffesionals , get something else. Paying for this game is simply appauling.… Expand

A great game. Reaches good zombie killing standards and is great for giving a cheap well enjoyable experience. Most do not enjoy the patriach and wep system; but with more content added practicly every month... this is one im getting my left for dead freinds.

killing floor is an amazing game and deserves respect. its replayable and fun , yes the game can become a bit of a perk grinding but its alot different from L4D reasons why: 1. The Original Mod base for this came out long before L4D 2. L4D's Screamer that was going to be introduced was almost identical to the screemer but was scrapped. 3.Boomer is based on Bloat obviously 4. this game is soo much better for co-op not only is this worth the money its worth for he co-op experiance and all those wingers complaining about not beating the patraich. Tips to killing the Patraich" 1. Trap him in a 2 door weldable room like KF-westlondons church 2. Get enough money to buy a SCAR, AA112 Shotgun or the M14LBER Rifle and just shoot the hell out of him/ 3. go as medic and run and shoot while healing. 4.get to level 5 or 6 perk and kill him with standard weapons. i used tactics like this to beat the game on Normal and hard on my own and defeat the Patriach. problems: 1. most of them dont seem to occur on my computer like the supposed long loading times 2.some of the lighting and enviroment effects need to be tweeked a little. 3.they need to balance out the number of enemy types online, too many Husks can get annoying.… Expand

The game has vastly improved since its last update. Just a great game to play with your friends

a game that is promiseing in both premise and exicution and only let down by it's tri colour outlook (brown red and black) and lack of lighting

I had so much fun and the Game was just a fun aborsion. It wasent the most detailed game. Neather was DOOM! but we still enjoyed it. So to trip wire please Keep up the good work, Besides the epic game play with the Wide spread of weapons

Killing floor is a enjoyable and cooperative game. This game takes "Playing with Friends" to a new depth in online coop gaming. The gameplay is extremely good with random specimen spawns and texture editing. Bravo Tripwire And as for the people who do not see how good this game really is, I seriously doubt you have much friends either online or in real life nor the capability to cooperate with players properly.… Expand

This isn't L4D. I don't get why people keep comparing it to that. This game worth every single dollars. Fun gameplay, 6 perks, awsome free releases. The best co-op survival game I've ever played. Also this game recieved 71/100 points in reviews. I don't know where did those guys put their brains, they either played 10 minutes or have no talent in gicing a rightful score. This game deserves at least 80 points. Just look at the user score, they know better.… Expand

A pure joy to play. Great replay value. Highly customizable for those with the skills to do so. A step above L4D in my opinion. Sure the game may not be as "pretty" as L4D but it's no ugly ducking either. The games graphics are quite nice but the gameplay is where it steals the show and that's far more important to someone like me. I really can't see how you can't enjoy this game for hours on end. If your into hardcore Co-Op gaming then you have got to play Killing Floor. Great job Tripwire! 10/10!… Expand

This game is by far the most addictive and dare I say enjoyable game I've ever played. And I'm ashamed to say I have played a fair few games.

This game is very impressive. I will have to admit that it is not as much fun playing Single Player, but as you can see it's through steam so there is a great community to play with. I highly recommend this game to anyone who loves CO-OP as much as I do. As far as the gameplay goes, very well-developed, great use of Z.E.D, and has a very well-made HUD as far as Gun interface, merchants, and that you can outrun most monsters. The monsters are very well-made, however, the Patriarch, whom is the only boss, becomes repetitive. Killing Floor is very easy to learn and can even get intense at times when your teammates are dead. Overall this game receives a 9/10 for great gameplay, fun online action, and great interface.… Expand

The Game Rock's there's alot of action even though i am a girl it's fun for me...

Most interesting game last years. None of currently released games keeps me occupied more that this one :)

It`s a great Game and everyone has too enjoyed it. But if you play longer then will be the Game boring

Gritty coop survival game. This game has its own style and feel. Id rate it higher than l4d series. This game deserves more attention.

LFD2 dident haw a sec of a chanse killing floor wiped the floor whit lfd2 and not ewen funny ow much better it is

Amazing freakin game! Its cheap and its content in unlimited. One problem with L4D, its a microsoft game. they cheap out on content and support just like every other console game. i love l4d, but the killing floor takes the win for me. great, great community and endless fun. Absolute Games is a foreign crap website that shouldnt be allowed to have an opinion. no way should their vote have counted. you cant even read their stuuid jibberish website. anyways, definetly buy killing floor. any type of shooter or zombie fan will love it.… Expand

This game should be a 85+ metascore for sure. i bought left 4 dead a few weeks after it came out played it religiously and loved it!! then it got a bit old i played other games along with it. Killing floor i bought day of and haven't stopped playing religiously. this game is awesome! if you liked l4d or any other zombie game you will love this. this game is as good as any retail game out there! its got a great gaming community its very affordable;e and probably the best purchase you'll make in awhile. i know i have gotten more than 20$ worth of fun out of this game. my suggestion don't rely on these crappy metascores and stupid critics. buy this awesome game ASAP!!… Expand

Can stand the visuals but that's about it. Waste of 20 bucks in my eyes. Just stick with L4D and wait for the second one to come out. I have been trying to play, but not enough people online to do anything, single player is a joke when you get swarmed by 10 creatures you can't knock back to fight and no real tactics to the game unless your in doors. I have given the game some opportunity to show itself but its the same thing over and over again. This game is a waste of your money PERIOD.… Expand

Overly boring and repetitive game, it's all disguised under the facade of leveling up, netplay is somewhat better but it's hard to find a dedicated teamplay as there is no requisite for it built it, just follow your own path and shoot everything in sight until the shop opens, rinse and repeat.

Awesome! Game is much better that others that gave it a low rating said. If you have a good vid card (8800GTX) you can max all the details and it's beautiful!! HDR, specular lighting, water effects, etc and on and on. Well worth the $20 asking price. Very underrated IMHO. If you like zombies, and like shooters.. this game is great and reasonably priced!

This game does NOT deserve to only have 70 of rating. It's probably one of the most addicting zombie survival games I've ever played. Although it may be slightly repetitive, I just never get tired of slicing heads off with my katana :) This game is pure win. Stop bashing it just because it used to be a UT04 mod.

I believe that Killingfloor is a great game and should not be compared with l4d becauthe se in all reality the only reason it may have bean so good on the pc is because the c is only 1 person x-box version kinda sucked with tis only 2 for a game with 4 players. on top of the hole 2 for 4 thing its also got a horrible replay value after the first 2 weeks with killing floor i can just Keep playing. secondly the weapon choice in l4d is Terrible to say the least. i meen its fun to to light zombies on fire with a Molotov but really do i only have a choice between that and a pipe bomb and 3 different weapons[seariusly thte starter weps do NOT count]. wile killing floor has a nice amount of things 2 chose from in the weapon a small amount rea of the game. next even tho killing floor has only maps at least its can tern out different allot more than l4d. so to end my little text thing just look at this l4d=49.99 killing floor=19.99 so whats better?… Expand

Killing Floor.... what is there really more to say? over looking the fact there isnt really any real story going on except from what we read on all the maps the game is extremely fun to play the choose of weapons are amazing i mean lets face it. who doesnt wanna blow a zombies head off with a double barreled shotgun :) my only complain to the game is the mount of lag there is on mostly all the servers in the game but still this is one of my favorite horror games in the genre of survival horror and ill give it a 10+ great game great massacre… Expand

When compared to Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2, Killing floor looks puny and not worth buying. Killing Floor offers many things that make the game fun and full of replayability. The game comes with 10 or so different characters that are stuck in certain maps, made by Tripwire or the community. The story line is barely present, but neither was Left 4 Dead’s. The main maps (made by Tripwire) do have a story. The game has a variety of perks and guns that add to the game and overall replayability. The game lacks in graphics, but as more free DLC comes out, the gun textures get better. You can tell it is an Unreal mod. The game is a casual game, and is not supposed to be played all day, every day. The game is supposed to be played 5-6 hours a week. If a gamer plays for more than 15 hours a week on the game, it will get repetitive. The downfalls of the game are made up by the community. The community is extremely nice and will want you coming back for more. The solo play lacks though, and gets boring quickly. Grab 5 other friends and have a good time.… Expand

Very fun game, leveling up with friends and making epic last stands on suicidal mode make this game well worth the money.

Bullettime is great. Downloadable Weapons! The best of all 6 player co-op!

Killing floor first felt to me like a poorly constructed game, but after giving it another go i found it seriously entertaining, Im in disbelief that it only has a score of 71 and yet Modern warfare 2 has a score of 87 on PC when no one likes the PC release? Are you kidding me, at least KF has some fun to it. Yeah its not the best game in the bunch but whos to judge, it was never retailed to be a full game anyway, so to think about it 71 is actually nice, but i think it deserves well over 71. Great game, go out and buy it!… Expand

Killing floor is an intense Co-op game which I admit could've been better. The maps are dull sometimes, Usually you find yourself wandering in the same place the whole time because most are just small complexes. The graphics were at Medium, THe textures could've bumped up a little, The gore was astounding, Meat chunks, small Rivers of blood. When you got a Headshot, You'd get the urge to say: "SUCK IT!" when the mutant gets his head BLOWN apart. The game would've Performed and looked better if it was on the source engine, but since L4D and L4D2 pre-occupie Source Engine Co-op modes, It would be like Having similar games right next to eachother, but they shouldn't be similar. The Co-op is amazing, Teaches you to stay together or your definatley toast, the different kinds of mutants is similar to L4D, But just distorted. Cash System works out well, Kill mutants, Steal their cash to afford amazing weapons like the Katana (chainsaw Fails!) Hunting Shotgun, Crossbow, and other Amazing weapons. Overall i've said I give the game an 8 of 10.… Expand

Even though it can get a bit repetitive, it's fun game and it's definitely not just a rip off of L4D. I enjoyed it, and if you can get a few of your friends to buy it too, it's worth every penny.

wow ppl are dumb. this game is awesome. I'm a zombie fanatic and i've been waiting for a game like this. its better than L4D 1 and 2. its got huge replay value, because you can keep lvling up (even beyound the cap and then lvl when they realease the new lvl cap) they are GREAT about updates. and for the people who complain about the graphics, THROW THE F***ING WINDOWS 98 away. i was reading the bad reviews from other sources and their in german and other languages of ppl i dont give a f*** about.… Expand

Excellent alternative to Left 4 Dead, and i actually prefer it

i've played KF too much in fact in the hundreds of hours and all my syays are maxed along with every achievment and i'm still not bored. ive played pretty much every zombie game but this ranks among the highest just because teamwork is such a vital issue and not many games have that these games as far as i've seen. also advice for other people would be if its boring-get a mic, get some friends to join, and make the difficulty harder than your comfert zone and its a whole new game. when i did this for the first tiem iw as so blown back with how fun the game was i was hooked right there. also if you just play 5 minutes on solo and say you hate it that's really pathetic and you shouldn't be playing anyhow, well have fun to all those people who still play =D.… Expand

I really like this game, think l4d2 but with better graphics and gameplay.

This game was really fun, its simple and to the point but is amazingly fun with friends. I didn't think this game was only $19.99

I even had more fun in this than in Left for Dead. I'd recommend this over that game a well. better play and more fun to be had without a story getting in the way. Just good ol' fashioned zombie shooting.

Fantastic Game, Has a unique feel that no other horror survival game has ever had.

Please don't pay attention to the overall rating from the press, its a pretty damn fun game for the price. Basically imagine if Counter Stike: Source and Nazi Zombies had a baby, that's Killing Floor.

Fun and addicting game, online multiplayer is an intense heart pounding experience that will leave your adrenal gland dried up.

not all perks are created equal (i'm looking at you Berserker & Sharpshooter)- but this game is seriously good. Exceedingly few games have been with me for more than 300 hours, but I'm still having a blast with KF aside from some nagging balance issues (which are being addressed right now, if news announcements are to be believed).

Real Good Co-Op game ;-) and it's not expansive, too! so c'mon and go ahead buing it .......

Lots of fun, actually requires players to act as a team inorder to survive. the game may be simple but it is executed really well. over all i think killing floor is totally underrated. im looking forward to any addons in the future.

Very nice co-op shooter with a good range of weapons and enemies. Don't have enough money to buy Left 4 Dead? Then try this one :)

this is a very good game , espectacular graphics and very plays very recomended

I completely disagree with anyone who says this is a great game. It is terrible with bad graphics and horrible game-play. Lucky for me, I got it on steam for $5 on a sale. So at least I didn't throw away too much money.

This game is one of the best to play with friends. Much better than L4D or L4D2. The graphics are neat, the gameplay is amazing (killing zombies for LOADSA MONEYYYYYY, who wouldn't love it?), this game was one of my favorites last year. I think the reason more people don't know about it is because it's not out for consoles. But then again, most good things aren't.

I completely love this game. You really have to play it, because it is really hard to try and explain how exciting and mesmerising the game play is. I can't stop playing Killing Floor and it is incredibly good fun. The action is furiously paced at the higher difficulties; you thought you needed fast reactions for Left 4 Dead 2? Think again. Killing Floor tests your accuracy and reactions to the max. Absolutely brilliant game play. The only reason I am not giving this game a 10 is because the avatars look slightly dated; however the environments are superb and can be quite scary at times. The other reasons I am not giving this a 10 is because you cannot see what wave the server is at before joining and if you join round 7 - 10 and no one gives you any money; you are stuck with a pistol, knife and no body armour and normally die pretty quick. I wish tripwire would add an update so the servers display "Wave X" making it easier to choose a server rather than hanging around in a match because you died early. I will be playing this game for a very long time. There is plenty of life in this game especially with the levelling up of classes. I can never picture myself becoming bored of this game. If you like the Left 4 Dead games you will love Killing Floor. Highly recommended.… Expand

Killing floor is a wave based, co-op, zombie survival game. Its addictive perk leveling system and regular updates from Tripwire, will keep me playing for days and days. This game really shouldn't be compared to L4D. Both are great games but they have completely different play styles.

This is a very good co-op survival game. It requires good tactics and co-operation from all members. So, expect to be frustrated if you happen to play with people that do not know their role in the team. This is also the strong point of the game since playing with a good team is very rewarding. Sure, the graphics look a little dated. The game does not look as shiny as new releases but what it lacks it makes up in gameplay.… Expand

Overall a good game. The graphics are outdated because its been made from a mod. However, the coop aspect is great. There are still exploits being found, but they are also still being patched. New maps are still being added to the game and it still has a challenge for anyone that does not simply try to cheat. Holding one spot works great when you are playing lower difficulties but when you get to hard and above any spot becomes difficult to hold and running is about the only option. Play with friends and you are bound to enjoy this game, assuming you do not only play for graphics.… Expand

Quite a fantastic coop game. This game shines with online multiplayer. An addicting fast paced teamwork intensive game. Well supported by the developers who are still fixing and extending the game. The critic reviews are rather sadly out of date since this game has seen massive (positive) changes since it's release.

Quite honestly this is the very best zombie shooter currently on the market. First off, you actually have to try in order to survive, ammo is not exactly plentiful, you can only take a small amount of punishment before you get shredded to bits, and some of the specimens prey on your weaknesses. This greatly differs from another game I could mention where you're essentially a freakin' tank. The graphics are actually pretty great, things are well textured and the animations are generally smooth. Another thing to add is that you actually have some form of progression (aka perks), something to keep track of how Uber1337pro you are compared to the next guy, and actually help you in battle. I would HIGHLY suggest that you buy this game if you haven't already, it provides thousands of hours of fun.… Expand

Killing Floor has dated graphics and simplistic gameplay (think of Nazi Zombies with a deeper gameplay mechanic) but KF is a rewarding experience for anyone who has enough patience to brave the difficult learning curve and anyone who misses a game that doesn't take itself overly serious or loves wave-based survival games. Lower difficulty games can be like and old-school run'n'gun, and higher level play is heavily dependent on your ability to work cooperatively with your squadmates. The pubgame community is hit-or-miss, so I recommend playing the game with friends over mic. Additionally, Tripwire is a generous developer who is constantly coming out with new content such as weapons, maps and keeps the community active with periodic seasonal events for no cost to current owners of the game. The game can get repetitive and the difficulty between levels can seem non-linear, but to those willing to learn the less-obvious game mechanics through its well-established wiki and forums will be rewarded indeed.… Expand
