Or, you’ll land in some heavily modded, experimental nightmare concocted by inept modders or just trolls with too much time on their hands.
#LEFT 4 DEAD CLONE MOD#
Often you end up in an innovative but disorienting mod where all the rules have changed. It can be very hard to even find a straightforward co-op or PvP game, and you’re never guaranteed of a good experience. While you can still play Left 4 Dead (as I occasionally do), Valve long ago abandoned any further development of it. So while you might catch a break now and again, if you start kicking copious amounts of butt you may find the next encounter riddled with bosses and more ‘special’ aliens (see below). Like Left 4 Dead, Earthfall is also driven by an adaptive AI that randomizes and directs the action to help ensure every playthrough is different. Aliens clawed at the barricades as we rained a frenzied bullet storm and painted the walls and landscape in alien guts. Bracing for the coming onslaught, we grouped up.
#LEFT 4 DEAD CLONE GENERATOR#
Like Left 4 Dead, Earthfall missions are generally objective-based, punctuated with segments where you must endure an alien horde and one or more boss monsters.Īt one point, having activated a generator and alerting the horde to our presence, we quickly holed up in a large storage building where we deployed barricades to block entrances and used propane tanks to create some firewalls. A horde of alien drones with a Sapper and Enrager in tow.

The sky is the limit as to where Holospark could take things if they decided to. More interestingly, the technology has larger implications for future development for Earthfall.

You can even combine barricades with generators to create electric fences, or propane tanks to create literal firewalls. There’s also a moveable, deployable (and devastating) turret, and a larger variety of grenades available such as smoke grenades, frag grenades, and napalm grenades.Īnother addition is the 3D ‘print-anything’ printer, which is essentially a weapon crate of goodies. Some of Holospark’s additions include things such as deployable barricades that can be used to block doorways and fortify temporary strongholds against alien onslaughts. The mission I played felt very much like a Left 4 Dead level, with large, open areas and places to explore for ammunition, health packs, and other supplies. There are always multiple paths and avenues of attack and defense, so you definitely need your teammates (AI or otherwise) to watch your six-and all the other hands of the clock, too.
#LEFT 4 DEAD CLONE FULL#
The weapons feel good and distinct, from the satisfying blast of a shotgun to the raucous clack-clack of an AK47 and the powerful 1-2 punch of twin Desert Eagles (yes, you can dual wield Desert Eagles!) And because this is an alien apocalypse, who knows what other weapons may lurk beyond the realm of standard human technology? An Alien Drone is about to get a face full of bullets. Built in the Unreal engine, Earthfall looks beautiful and (most importantly) nails the fast-paced gameplay of its inspiration with some modest innovations that freshen the gameplay without (ahem) alienating Left 4 Dead players.
