Back 4 Blood is a cool co-op zombie shooter that gets its inspiration from Left 4 Dead. The action is fast and good, with huge waves of zombies rushing you almost non-stop. I don’t really like the new card system, for me it doesn’t change the game that much, it is just there to make you think it will change something and add some customization. The game is good with friends, but solo not so much. Overall it is okay game it just lacks something that made Left 4 Dead special.
I approached the game with prejudice in the beginning. I found it strange that there was no solo play in the beta, you know, it is not known how good it will be when you play with players you do not know. After spending some solo time in the game, I was hooked. The only thing I found missing was the amount of brutality. Even if the blood is pink and your clothes and head are covered in blood, it’s okay. Level designs are nice. The gameplay feel is positive.
The fact that the levels consist of many parts increases the playability, which is nice.If you are prone to this type of games, I think you will like its dynamics. Since I always like to hit things while moving, it feels very good when I do it with a better feeling of hitting.
First of all, I can’t help but add that I enjoy playing with bots more. At least they can save lives, speak 300 words, and light fire. (Much more skilled than most players on the server)
Since the game is made by the makers of Left for dead, I understand why it’s constantly compared to L4D2, but I don’t understand the negative reviews for it.
B4B can compete with L4D if it wants and pushes a little. For this, the gameplay needs to change a little. For example, the places in the game where zombies spawn or where bosses come should not be the same, or if the place we need to find and destroy does not change and stay in the same places every time you play, the game becomes playable over and over again. It would not be bad if the zombie shelters were not in the same location and we had to sweat a little to find them.
When viewed from an objective perspective, it is a very enjoyable game. The card system, the abundance of characters, the ability to open skins in the game, etc. are all great. I think if they wanted to make the game moddable they wouldn’t have added skins. That’s why I don’t think the game will be moddable in the future, at least in terms of skins.
It was a game with a lot of potential. The survivor mode could be diversified and made fun, such as the defense shelter mode, and its playability could be increased for longer hours. But unfortunately, the development team shelved the development of the game, leaving the scenarios and modes that I have been waiting for since the first day they were released, as if they were incomplete and unfinished.
No matter what, it’s great fun to play with your team or friends. Even though I prefer playing with bots.
I want to give this game a chance. Others consider this game a cheap and half-assed copy of Left 4 Dead 2. I in the beginning stood for that. But while playing I realized some things make the game different and unique. For instance, the perk system is a good novelty. It lets you modify your character’s stats, making it stronger, faster, and tougher, depending on your playstyle. It is useful in hordes and challenging bosses. The guns are another thing I like about this game. Another good thing about Back 4 Blood is the character roster. You can select from various characters according to your style and built presets. If you like to play with friends, there is a coop mode. This mode is for 4 players and all of them can choose their own character and custom them. The single-player mode is also available for those who like to go into action alone. You are not alone as you are accompanied by bots. The game also has PVP, adding some competitiveness.
The enemies are varied too. There are common infected and mutations. Both of them have attributes. Moreover, you can find boss-like mutations that are like special mutations with higher health and special abilities. So you need to prepare your starts to face them. And you don’t get bored from fighting them. The environment also looks graphically good. It helps you immerse yourself in the apocalyptic atmosphere of the game. I would really like this game one day to have mod support so we can change stuff to our liking.
Let’s give this game a try and judge based on what it really offers and not what others say about it. The game offers you everything you need to survive in an apocalypse zombie: boss battles, guns, a good atmosphere, playing with friends or alone, power perks, and of course zombies. For these aspects, I recommend it.
When this game first came out, I got the chance to play the beta version of it. It was great for a beta game, full of bugs as expected but fun, challenging and can offer people who have played Left 4 Dead 2 (I will just call the game L4D2 from now on for short) a refreshing experience with all the new characters, all the new zombie variants, new maps, new mechanics… However, after the game is launched as a full-priced game. The game never managed to fix some problems it had with the beta phase and never managed to capture that charm L4D2 has created.
First of all, the gameplay is about killing zombies. But the AI in this game is simply too dumb, the animation and the gore are also toned down. Making this game feels like a cheap remake of L4D2, even though this game costs a ton more than that. The variant zombies are also lackluster and all the special infected just feel like the same one with a feel of different tweaks.
Secondly, the characters are annoying, I understand that they want us to feel badass when we slay zombies on our way, but you can do that without ruining the characters. None of the characters has any depth at all.
Third, compared to L4D2, this game required a much more beefy PC in order to run and play it smoothly. I have encountered so many bugs even after all this time that its just become a norm at this point already.
Fourth, the Versus mode is just a joke compared to what we have in mind. No one, I repeat, no one thinks that it’s a good idea to change the format, from running through the map combating the other team as The Survivors vs The Infected, to see who can defend the point the longest.
Fifth, the developers just announced that they won’t give us any new content anymore. So basically this game is dead at this point, so I don’t see any point in buying it, especially when there is a better and cheaper counterpart L4D2 out there.
You know the worst thing this game has for it it’s not how utterly broken it is at its very core but how misleading the supposed “creators” of L4D tried to sell it as a better enhanced version of the game. The developers were literally junior or covered in very minor roles on the team that actually worked on Left 4 Dead, and weren’t even a quarter of the original team.
For how bad the game is. Well, it offers the minimum you’d expect from a game sold and marketed as AAA. Not only does it show how generic it looks since they didn’t bothered to make it less like another UE game, but it’s a stepdown from both the gameplay and fine details Left 4 Dead is known for and still holds up today. Moreover, those fine details aren’t just eye candy. They made them so as to make the game more enjoyable and less repetitive. There’s enough detail to go for over half an hour for just the weapons design, different damage done to zombies that triggers various animations and actions zombies do! That’s just the tip of the iceberg.
You could say that’s it not important, and that would be fine if the gameplay wasn’t a disaster too.
Still has an annoying glitch where like five special infected will spawn at the same time. Single player bots are somehow dumber than in Left 4 Dead 1 and 2, so you’ll be able to play multiplayer. The game was bought up by Tencent and has Denuvo DRM. Annoying glitches such as special enemies instantly damaging you and your bullets not dealing any damage at all. Enemy AI seems to glitch out frequently.
Back 4 Blood is a game made by the people behind Left 4 Dead.
The easiest way to describe the game is Left 4 Dead combined with a deck building game.
Back 4 Blood is a game made to be played with a couple of friends. Each character you can choose has its own up and downsides and all of them provide something different to the team. Besides characters who can change the way you play the different stages in Back 4 Blood there is also a card deck system with a lot of different cards to choose from. While experimenting with different card combinations can be fun and making a really overpowered deck is the best feeling ever. The main drawback to this system is that you most of the time lock yourself into a certain weapon class before you even started the game. and the way to obtaining the right cards can feel like a grind. The way you obtain the cards is from a vendor but the things they sell are random and you have to buy out the entire set before they show you a new set you can buy. But this leads to more experimentation with the cards you do have and this is probably the reason why this is implemented this way.
You are not the only one using cards, before each stage the game pulls up random cards, a side objective card, a hazard card and depending on how far you are in the game a bunch of cards to make the ridden (the name of the zombies in this game) stronger.
Unlike Left 4 Dead this game sadly does not have Mod Support (or at least not officially) and the AI sometimes doesn’t attack at all. This seems to be pretty random from run to run and funny enough also seems to keep getting fixed and then breaks again.
Back 4 Blood is at its best with a few friends when you all know what role you are playing for the team.
