For my second free game of the month it’s going to be the newly released top down shooter from steam. This is probably the best fully free complete game that will be featured on the blog as it’s a well polished fully released game that comprises elements of survival horror and team based strategies. The game itself is a remake of an old mod for unreal tournament 2004 and was developed by the original team after they were hired by valve. The game is a 4 player online coop shooter (with offline practise) where players have to work together to complete various objectives in an alien infested colony which as it sounds takes a lot of references from the film aliens like the infamous motion tracker, smart gun and oh shit moments.
There’s allot of persistent player levelling and stat tracking which is allot more interesting than just a score board showing player movements, kills and all sorts on a mini map at the end of a level which gets played out to you while the next map loads. The levelling and experience point system is what you would expect from a shooter these days ‘thanks to infinity ward!’, levelling up your class and gaining bigger better weapons and special items like machine gun turrets and homing missiles. Although the game is short there is allot of replay value and from what it looks like they are going to release new episodes which I’m sure they will charge for but knowing valve they will promote them with yet another crazy sale. If you liked left 4 dead or another survival coop game, you will get tons of satisfaction from this, but if you’re not into these kind of games and you have a steam account why not try it, it is free!
