For example, if you like hand-to-hand combat, you can equip cards that boost your melee damage or speed, or grant you and your teammates extra health when you make a melee kill. These cards have different buffs, perks, and modifiers that can be combined to tailor your own playstyle. Each character comes with their own starting loadouts and roles on the team, but your gameplay will be impacted most heavily by the deck of cards you accumulate and build over time. With up to three other players, you’ll choose from eight characters to battle hordes of the undead through a series of first-person campaign missions.
Back 4 Blood was made by the same creators of that series, but it’s not a direct followup-instead, it put its own spin on the co-op zombie shooter genre. I always hoped there’d be a successor to the iconic Left 4 Dead games of the late 2000s.
