About the game
Experiments gone wrong have filled Europe with clones called Zeds. You pick a class with its own weapons and perks, such as a medic who heals the group, and fight them on a map in waves. Each wave is nastier than the last. Heads and limbs fly off, and slow motion kicks in when someone pulls off a good shot. A boss waits at the end.
Up to six players team up online, and you can also play alone. Between waves there is a short pause to spend your cash on weapons, armor and ammo. Groups that last pick a spot to defend, share pickups and weld doors shut. Big Zeds soak up bullets and send everyone running, and on higher difficulties one mistake ends a run fast.
Your class levels up as you play, and new perks change how it works. Co-op is online only. It rewards a group that sticks together and talks.

Backs Kind of game, Sessions, Story, Working in sync, Exploring, Unlocks and progress, Planning ahead.
- Kind of game: Review from 2016-11-30 says the game is built around playing with others and coordinating as a team.
- Sessions: Says there is no campaign. You play rounds of waves and then spend cash on weapons.
- Story: Says there is no meaty campaign, only a bit of lore if you look for it.
- Working in sync: Says the game depends on well communicated co-operation.
- Exploring: Says the maps are large and take a while to learn, but the play is wave defense.
- Unlocks and progress: Ten classes, each with weapons and perks, and you level up each one.
- Planning ahead: Cash buys or upgrades weapons between waves, and a mixed team is better.
