On top of that, there’s over 20 weapons in the game that are a mix of assault rifles, sub-machine guns, shotguns, pistols, and some fun melee weapons like a fire axe, spiked bat, and machete. In total there’s eight Cleaners to learn to play and that helps bring a tremendous amount of depth to an already in-depth multiplayer zombie shooter. Like Mom, who can Instant Revive, or Hoffman (serious Walter Sobchak vibes) who can spawn ammo with kills, or Doc who can heal low health teammates without items. The Cleaners – the characters you can pick to play as – each possess their own unique set of perks to help the group. It’s not just The Ridden or the Card System that can bring a tremendous amount of replay value to Back 4 Blood. Except this one could generate massive boulders of blood and throw them at you causing some massive AOE damage to you and your group. We even encountered a massive Ridden ogre – I didn’t catch its name – that sprung out of the ground but picture the Cave Troll from “Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring” and you get the idea.
Then there’s your masses of basic grunts that continue to swarm you every chance they get, especially when you reach some mid-tier objectives that will create a lot of noise, like turning on a tow truck to help clear the way, which causes them to come rushing at you – or if you happen to disturb a flock of crows feasting on the undead (don’t do it). It was everything we were looking for (and more) from a spiritual successor to one of the all-time great co-op multiplayer shooters. This brief firefight was but a sampling of Back 4 Blood’s multiplayer mayhem that was in store for us, a session that featured numerous hectic firefights, tons of loot, a gigantic undead ogre, puss-filled sacks that had to be popped, pesky crows, and many, many zombies. Then, after a burst of gunfire and laughter, we turned to look at each other to see how absolutely covered in gunk we were as the lifeless bodies of Ridden were scattered about the place. We were covered in blood less than a minute after stepping out of the Safe House turns out there were a ton of Ridden waiting for us just outside the door.
