Description

Back 4 Blood for PC is a co-operative zombie shooter game with a new card-based perks system. It is the unofficial successor to Left 4 Dead due to having the same creators who have indulged themselves in producing very similar gameplay.

About the Game


New to this game and something quite different for games of this type is the card deck. You must build your deck to gain as much advantage as you can as regards: health and healing, damage taken, stamina usage and restoration and so on. Meanwhile, the AI director within the game, will issue you with corruption cards from time to time, which work as debuffs, weakening your characters and making everything a bit harder for a while.

As well as occasionally annoying you in this way, the AI can also spawn enemies, create a boggling fog that will send you wandering around in circles and can also boost the size of a horde in the PvE modes, bursting any complacent bubbles that you might have allowed to grow!

The premise of the game is this: a worldwide outbreak of a mysterious parasite has devastated the world, turning those afflicted into creatures known as ‘the Ridden’. They are not undead, but are basically zombie-like characters against whom the survivors must battle.

Survivors are who battle the Ridden are called Cleaners and they consist of various people: Walker, Holly, Hoffman, Evangelo, Karlee, Doc, Jim and Mom – you choose one of these to play as – pay attention to the stats in the opening scenes and pick a character that chimes with your inner you.

You and your companions will fight your way through the story campaign in groups of four, all battling to clear the zombies from one room before moving to the next and doing it all again. The mission-based drops you in at point A with a list of tasks to complete before making your way to point B for some rest and recuperation in a safe room.

The Nitty Gritty


There are plenty of weapons to get to grips with, and they are all colour-coded by rarity, so you know when you’ve got a good one, a nice feature that makes shooting excellence that little bit easier. Each gun ‘fires’ differently, so you will want to come back time after time to try out all the weapons that you can as you acquire and master them.

The end of each level sees the advance of a special ‘boss’ Ridden. These number among them, the likes of the Ogre, an immense monster who lobs meaty cannonballs at you with devastating effect – so keep your concentration high and your ammo handy when the end of the level seems to be approaching!

There are various types of Ridden (detailed below) and you will need to learn how to anticipate and tackle each of these. As well as being to play either as Cleaner or as Ridden, you can enjoy four player co-operative play and 8 player multi-play Player vs Player.

The game has a special focus on multi-play and re-playability, much like the game’s spiritual predecessor Left 4 Dead.

Join the Ridden Family


Whichever side you want to play on, but especially if you want to be a Ridden in the PvP multi-play events, you must learn to distinguish between the following types of Ridden, who tend to travel in similar groups:

  • Stingers – these are sneaky and weakly creatures that sidle along ceilings and walls. They are easy to kill if you spot them, but a real nuisance if you don’t, spitting a sticky goop that anchors you in place until another Ridden or a horde of them can take you out

  • Snitches – about as popular with Cleaners as snitches in schools and prisons – these Ridden sound an alarm if they spot you, summoning the others to come and give you a very hard time indeed

  • Exploder/ Retcher – twins of a sort, these Ridden look similar, but they have quite different properties. One blows up taking out you, your team, and anyone else who happens to be nearby, while the other kind of vomits acid on you – another similarity is that neither of them is very pleasant!

  • Bruisers/ Tallboys – known by both names, these Ridden have one huge arm that is literally a built-in club and they know how to use them. Best avoided!

    • Back 4 Blood for PC is available for purchase on Instant Gaming for a fraction of its retail price. You will receive an official key and be able to play the game in seconds. Play smart. Pay less.

    Back 4 Blood Ultimate Review

    Back 4 Blood Ultimate is a four-player cooperative first-person shooter from the creators of Left 4 Dead. It features a thrilling campaign mode, a variety of competitive modes, and a deep card system that allows players to customize their experience.

    The campaign mode is the heart of Back 4 Blood, and it is where the game shines. Players work together to battle through hordes of infected Ridden, complete objectives, and survive. The campaign is well-designed and features a variety of different environments and missions.

    The competitive modes in Back 4 Blood are also a lot of fun. Players can choose between playing as the Cleaners or the Ridden, and there are a variety of different game modes to choose from, such as Swarm and Campaign Versus.

    The card system is one of the things that sets Back 4 Blood apart from other cooperative shooters. Players can collect cards and use them to customize their character's stats, abilities, and weapons. The card system adds a lot of depth and replayability to the game.

    Overall, Back 4 Blood Ultimate is a great cooperative shooter that offers a lot of content for players to enjoy. The campaign mode is exciting, the competitive modes are fun, and the card system adds a lot of depth and replayability.

    Score: 8/10
    • Thrilling campaign mode
    • Variety of competitive modes
    • Plenty of content
    • Can be repetitive at times
    • Technical issues
    • Some balance issues
    This game is super cool, I can only suggest it to everyone! :3 I was playing it with friends and we had a lot of fun! Maybe it would need some improving, but the DLCs for example is epic! :D Sometimes, some part a bit harder than the others, but you can manage!
    • fun with friends
    • easy to play
    • lot of ways to customise
    • monoton
    • would need some more zombie types
    • more weapons
    a pretty good game its a lot of fun to play whet a small group of friends and not some random peps you find ingame and if you know what you are doing the game gets harder whet time so its not going to be easy
    • fun whet friends
    • its get harder whet time if you are good
    • some nice maps
    • some peps are just brain dead in the game
    • maine game is pretty short
    • dlc needed
    I think it's a very good game.

    Some people say "Yeah but left 4 dead 2 was so mutch better and bla bla bla".

    Listen people Left 4 Dead 2 was diffrent game Back 4 Blood is also a diffrent game.

    Back 4 Blood has a lot of cool cinematics and gameplay is so mutch better than Left 4 Dead 2.

    To me i think price is little to high on steam.But Instant gaming is here to save us from Paying 60 euros.

    So if you love good graphics and awesome cinematics and lets say some kinda story Back 4 Blood is for you.

    But if are old school and don't have good pc to run Back 4 Blood Left 4 Dead is for you.

    Both Games are super good but for me Back 4 Blood is better.
    Definitly not good to buy on begining,but it is ok to buy it now :)

    Lets us hope that they will provide good DLC and support for performance playing and stuff.

    It is suppose to be good like L4D but no.
    • Good with friends
    • price
    No horde shooter can ever follow in the fotsteps of the Left 4 Dead series. I think this game is ambitious in trying to implement stuff from the rogue like genre, by having a card system that tries to mess you up. On recruit and veteran this is not an issue, but on nightmare and no hope you will have a hard time. For a solo player this feels more like a grind game than anything. I would say it's replay value in the campaign is higher than L4D.

    It's a good game for what it is alone, but for us who grew up on the valve games L4D, Gmod, Half life etc, we want this game to be nostalgic which is unfair.
    • Fair grind
    • Fun with friends
    • Challenging on higher difficulties
    Not a bad game, solid graphics, good with friends. Atmosphere is okay-ish, characters are fine event though some of them are "too edgy". This was supposed to be Left 4 Dead spiritual successor but if they did not compare this game to L4D, I think it would have had better reception from gamers.

    For this price, I give it thumbs up.
    • Fun with friends .
    • Nice atmosphere.
    • Solid graphics.
    • Not L4D.
    • Questionable AI.
    • Deck system seems strange.
    A disgrace to the left 4 dead series which they are milking sooo hard to sell even one more copy of this dumpsterfire of a game. Play L4D2 and never touch ANY game of this company. Remember what they did to gaming in general with evolve...
