Steam reviews

What players say

Mixed: many players find a playable horde shooter that has improved since launch, but most who compare it with Killing Floor 2 find it weaker in content, performance and feel.

Many players say the game has improved a lot since its rough launch, with better performance on some systems, new maps, weapons, bosses and a steady update pace. Those who enjoy it praise the fast, dodge-heavy movement with dashes and slides, satisfying combat against large waves, the new zed designs and the weapon attachment and perk systems. Many players complain about the small number of maps, weapons and playable classes compared with Killing Floor 2, the loss of the old humour, and online play that runs only through matchmaking, with no server browser, custom servers or mods. Performance is the most common technical complaint: long shader compilation, stutters, crashes and low frame rates even on strong PCs. Recent reviews are more positive than Steam's totals, and several long-time fans say the game is worth buying only on sale.

Praised

  • Improved since launch

    Players say patches have fixed many bugs, improved performance and added maps, weapons and bosses over the past year.

    Many players
  • Fast, dodge-heavy movement

    Dashes, slides and climbing make movement feel modern and fast, and many players like how it changes combat.

    Many players
  • Satisfying horde combat

    Fighting large waves with powerful weapons and gadgets is still fun, especially with a coordinated squad.

    Some players
  • Weapon customisation and perks

    Attachments, crafting of weapon mods and the reworked skill system give players more ways to tune their loadout.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Thin content compared with KF2

    Players say the game has fewer maps, weapons, classes and game modes than Killing Floor 2 and lacks endless mode.

    Many players
  • Poor performance and long shader compile

    Shader compilation takes very long, and players report stutters, crashes and low frame rates even on strong hardware.

    Many players
  • Online play limited to matchmaking

    There is no server browser, no custom servers or mods, and matchmaking queues and waits are long and unreliable.

    Some players
  • Feels less like Killing Floor

    Fans say the humour, art direction, feel of guns and enemies, and class identities have changed for the worse.

    Some players
Who it suits
Suits players who enjoy co-op horde shooters, don't mind a different feel from earlier Killing Floor games, and want to buy it on sale.
Who should skip it
Players who want the content and feel of Killing Floor 2 or 1, expect polished performance, or want custom servers and mods should skip it for now.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with hundreds of hours tend to be more positive and praise the updates, while players with fewer hours more often complain about performance and missing content.
