Summary
It’s a co-op survival horror game. Up to 6 players in online co-op mode, or just you, on your own, playing the Solo mode. The aim - cleanse each area of zombies, in waves, until you get to the last one. The Big One. The Patriarch. Then exterminate him, too. Actually, they aren’t "zombies". They are the left-over "specimens" from a cheap and dirty government program to clone soldier-monsters. The basic ones will just munch on your arm and try to disembowel you. The bigger ones were the first ones they tried arming. Nothing much. Just a chainsaw or a blade for starters. They had just got on to the chain gun and rockets when the government tried to secretly shut down their secret program. But, in the typical way these things go, the program didn’t want to be shut down. The specimens got loose. No-one was left alive to turn off the specimen-cloning equipment. And now they are running amok. Well, some of them are running amok. Others are shambling amok or even jumping amok, but you get the idea. The police were sent in, but that wasn't even a challenge for the specimens. The first army units hadn't been warned what to expect. The screams of its got a bloody chainsaw!" over the radios probably didn’t do much for morale, as whole units were chewed up. Quite literally, in some cases, of course. And now, there is just you. And a few friends. The few survivors from the first police and army units thrown in. Of course, you can’t tell anyone anything, because that would be a breach of the Official Secrets Act 1911, 1920, 1989. And that would be a disciplinary offense. So just get in there and do your bit for Queen and Country. Zombies. Lots of them. Big ones, little ones. Armed and Dangerous. JUST MAKE THEM ALL GO AWAY! [Tripwire]

If you've enjoyed zombie games of the past and want to see a different take on what cooperative zombie horror games should be like, then I think you will enjoy Killing Floor too.

For the price, fun and challenging enough. Except for Patriarch. [July 2009]
Total PC Gaming
We were already armpit-deep in the dead, but we've still found room for more slaughter on the Killing Floor. [Issue#24, p.50]
Boomtown
Despite the rough edges, Killing Floor can be considered a resounding success.
Read Full Review >Gamer Limit
Killing Floor is a strong game in its own right. The core gameplay is rock solid and has lasting replayability. The variety and detail of weapons are outstanding.
Read Full Review >AceGamez
Having spent many hours playing Killing Floor, I am delighted to report that it's really, really enjoyable - sometimes even more so than the amazing Left 4 Dead.
Read Full Review >2404.org
Long-term value is one of the many deciding factors in purchasing this game. It’s already receiving more content, it’s cheap, and it’s really good about killing stuff. Buying Killing Floor is easily one of the best purchasing decisions you can make this year.

An enjoyable kill-a-thon then, though sits unsteadily alongside the now-classic Valve title. [Oct 2009, p.98]
PC Gamer
Bloody playable. [Aug 2009, p.77]
Gameplanet
Tripwire Interactives Killing Floor is what you would expect of a polished mod, but doesn’t exceed expectations as a retail game. It’s good, but unfortunately far from perfect. A nice addition to the survival-horror genre though, and it has an attractively cheap price tag.
Read Full Review >IGN
While the single-player experience is pretty much non-existent and there are still a large number of bugs that have to be contended with, there's enough of a foundation here for players to enjoy. Hop online and kill monsters for Queen and Country.

This former Unreal Tournament 2004 mod is more fun than it has any right to be.

A decent little title, and a testament to just how far you can take your hobby if you but try.

For those of you looking to train hard for the zombie apocalypse long predicted by Max Brooks, and not have to deal with any silly cinematic conventions doing so, Killing Floor might very well be the sort of thing you need to sharpen your training regimen.
Read Full Review >PC Games (Germany)
Once a mod now a game on its own, Killing Floor confronts the player with hordes of undead minions threatening his character’s life. While being independent enough of zombie-shooter-king Left 4 Dead with features like sealing doors, character perks and weapon stores, the game itself offers little variety and a flawed AI.

Solid, workman-like zombie slaughter, with a strong hint of amateur mod-making love and enthusiasm. [Aug 2009, p.72]
LEVEL (Czech Republic)
Hectic coop multiplayer game offers no story but straight–forward nonstop mayhem in stylish locations. Rich and balanced equipment makes the multiplayer clashes all the fun. Chainsaw included! [July 2009]
Eurogamer
It isn't perfect. It's not the sort of game that future generations will gather to celebrate, linking hands and singing sad songs of fond remembrance. It is, however, clever, boisterous, faintly silly and relatively cheap.
Read Full Review >Game Over Online
Ultimately though, the sort of plotless killing gets old, or at least it did for me. L4D felt like you were trying to go somewhere and do something. KF fails in that respect and instead feels like just a bunch of deathmatch games with the computer controlling one side.
Read Full Review >RealGamer
Killing Floor isn’t the most polished first person shooter on the market. However, it does offer one of the better co-op experiences, with excellent shooter mechanics, intense action and a good community that will keep you coming back for more.
Read Full Review >GameStar
If you can't get enough of killing Zombies and co-operative play, Killing Floor may be a cheaper alternative to Left 4 Dead. It doesn't come close though and it's obvious that Killing Floor once was a mod for Unreal Tournament 2004.
Read Full Review >PC Zone UK
There are only a handful of official maps to play , although each one is substantial in size. [Aug 2009, p.77]
Eurogamer Italy
Killing Floor is not perfect but its deficiencies are strictly connected to the graphics and details and it's not a problem considering the final result. If you are looking for an interesting and cheap game to put in your collection, Tripwire's last work could be a good choice.
Read Full Review >Edge Magazine
A simple bloodsport, and only a rudimentary level-up system affords any sense of progression. [Aug 2009, p.106]
Hardcore Gamer Magazine
Ironically enough, this might be one to keep your eye on as the modding community gets a hold of it. Despite the flaws, this game has enough potential to end up standing out.
Read Full Review >Gamer.nl
Killing Floor is mediocre on almost every level. The game may be cheap to buy but that doesn't take away the fact that game comes short almost every end. You can have some cooperative fun with this shooter, but this means you will have to ignore a lot of its shortcomings and for many gamers that will be too much of a pain.
Read Full Review >Absolute Games
Even talented designers couldn’t have saved Killing Floor. The game is so low-budget that it evokes pity instead of nostalgia. The visuals aren’t bad for an Unreal Engine 2 game, but they are a far cry from modern shooters. Threepenny lighting and jerky animation are the worst horrors you’ll see here.

Fighter M gave it a10:
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 :)
tuéy k gave it a9:
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.
Gareth K gave it a10:
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.
