The zombie apocalypse would not be a fun time in real life. Despite that, games like No More Room in Hell 2 from Torn Banner Studios (developers of the Chivalry series) keep getting made. This one looks tense and exhilarating, as it challenges 8 online players to find each other and then escape from an area that is riddled with the undead. A freshly released developer diary video reveals intriguing gameplay details and has us eager to try the game when it comes to Steam Early Access in October.
Features:
Eight co-op players spawn across one huge map, deploying their wits and deadly reflexes to unite & survive against the unstoppable forces of the undead. Players must communicate and strategize to survive, with danger lurking in every shadow. Carve your path through the horde with combat - or cunning. There are multiple ways to tackle any scenario, but character permadeath creates huge consequences for every bad decision, as the undead react to every move and noise you make. Draw foes away with a car alarm, lead them directly into the teeth of a trap, or go with a more forceful approach of explosive action. Find your way to your teammates with proximity voice chat and grow together in power. Each match, you’ll go from shaking in the darkness with only a beer bottle, to forming a fully stocked co-op squad with assault rifles and explosives. An ever-present threat remains: if any responder dies, all of their progress is lost. Locate co-op allies, then work together to get to the final objective at the map's center as the difficulty increases. Gather weapons & equipment to survive the rising threat, moving your squad towards the map’s power plant finale. Do you put your character’s life on the line to save a squad member? Rewards increase as more squadmates extract, but the risks of permadeath are ever-present.Zombies are not the most exciting type of enemies nowadays, but this one seems like it could be pretty special anyway. Here's hoping!
No More Room in Hell 2 will arrive on Steam and Epic on October 31. In the meantime, the first game is free on Steam!
