They're all designed to keep things feeling fresh for repeated playthroughs, which is one of the reasons why this will no doubt become one of the best co-op games for coming back to repeatedly over some beers. They can also add optional side objectives to tick off for additional side quests. These cards add real game-changing elements including a thick fog that blankets the area, masking deadly Ridden hordes, and other triggers, along with things like armored, acidic, or flaming Ridden. It's also how the Ridden themselves affect the playing field, with the Director AI using Corruption Cards to tweak every section and every playthrough so that it always feels unique. Once you start creating a custom deck that contains the cards that you know will benefit you, your playstyle, and your crew, there's some serious fun to be had.
There's a starter deck that's available to everyone, but you'll unlock cards by spending supply points that you earn by completing rounds. There are even ones to give the entire team a boost, such as increasing damage by 1% (up to 15%) for every Special Ridden killed. But it's also great at just giving you helpful stat-boosts, such as health or damage output, or buffing the items you can pick up. For example, if you really wanted to create a melee build, there are cards that can support that – especially when paired with melee weapon extraordinaire Cleaner, Holly – including the option to have every melee kill grant you two health points. These decks are the major differentiator between Back 4 Blood and Left 4 Dead, and once you've got your head around it, can allow you to really dial into the type of player you want to be. That's important too, as the card system is where the game's strategic strengths lie – beyond the standard co-op communication of course. There's sometimes nothing better than plopping yourself in a doorway and slicing through wave upon wave with a nail-studded bat. It helps that the gunplay is incredibly satisfying, even if you opt to ditch a shotgun or SMG for a baseball bat or machete. You're not really playing Back 4 Blood for its story, you're playing it for the minute-to-minute gameplay, the onslaught of Ridden massacre, the co-op camaraderie – and all of that's here in spades.
There are some cutscenes, mostly to introduce the characters, but otherwise, you don't really get a sense that there's a strong narrative here beyond just survive. From a section with a jukebox in a pub to a chaotic dash to rescue a scientist's research while a gigantic Special Ridden known as an ogre smashes down upon his house, these are the moments where Back 4 Blood really shines.īut I will say that the story itself is surprisingly forgettable outside of these scenarios. The campaign you'll work through is a brilliant b-movie, with fantastic set-piece moments that you'll want to show anyone who's yet to play them. Turtle Rock's spiritual successor is at its most enjoyable when you gather together three friends and squad up to tackle the game's cast of zombies – or the Ridden, as they're known.
