The verdict

A free, simple Source-engine co-op zombie shooter mixing Left 4 Dead and Counter-Strike. It's fun with friends, but repetitive, janky and nearly empty of players. Skip it if you want polish or busy servers.

Great for

Players with friends who want a free, low-spec, simple L4D-like co-op zombie shooter

Main risk

Dead servers and repetitive, janky gameplay leave you playing alone with bots
