Killing Floor vs Project Zomboid
Killing Floor
Killing Floor is an intense survival horror first-person shooter game that is set in the post-apocalyptic and devastatingly ruined country of England where a series of military-sanctioned cloning experiments had gone awry. Play with up to 6 of your friends cooperatively as you attempt to survive for long enough to clear the area you are airdropped into of any zombies or you can simply play solo. Unlike most similar games, Killing Floor has a non-linear gameplay where you can actually weld doors shut to redirect waves of zombies. The gameplay is also more tactically sound rather than the bullet-hell stuff you'd experience in some of the more arcade-like shooters.In addition to having an arsenal of weapons for you to choose from, the game also features a persistent perks system which lets you to convert your in-game achievements into permanent improvements for your character's skills and abilities. The game even has mod support, so you can create new levels and mods for the game and share them with the world.
Killing Floor may be a rather old game, but it's still as fun as it was before. The cooperative gameplay guarantees hours of fun (as well as yelling and perhaps cussing) for both you and your friends as you try to stem the tide of zombies rushing towards you.
Project Zomboid
Project Zomboid takes the post-apocalyptic zombie survival genre to the next level with one of the most realistic gameplay to date. After all, surviving isn't just blowing the heads off zombies or finding food - your mental health is as equally important! In many ways, the game feels a lot like Don't Starve when it comes to the more hardcore gameplay, though its persistent and ever-growing game map can be liken to that of Minecraft while its stats-based progression is somewhat similar to the old Runescape. There are so many skills you can level up, and which one you'd like to focus on is entirely up to you. Of course, you can customize your character's looks as well.Aside from the common Sandbox and Survival modes, the game even has fun and imaginative Challenge scenarios and action-packed "Last Stand" mode which frankly plays out a lot like Serious Sam albeit in isometric view.
Featuring a unique pixel-like visuals and an isomeric perspective, Project Zomboid is a really promising early access game that fans of survival games would really enjoy. It's full of content, be it exploring or crafting, and it's tough enough to keep you hooked.
