Killing Floor (PC) - Steam Cadou - POLONIA

Killing Floor is a cooperative first-person shooter developed and published by Tripwire Interactive.

The game features two modes - Jilling Floor and objective - each with its own rules and victory conditions. The game received solid reception from the critics, who noted that the game wasn't free of flaws, but provided enough entertainment value to overlook them. 

Gameplay

The gameplay mechanics of Killing Floor game are divided between two distinct modes. In the Killing Floor mode, the players must deal with waves of increasingly stronger enemies, culminating in a fight with a boss creature, the Patriarch. In Objective mode, the players are given a series of tasks to complete, for which they are rewarded with money they can spend on weapons, among others. 

KF emphasizes cooperation between the players, with many actions that can help the team survive the waves of monsters, including healing and welding te doors,   working better on the player's teammates.

Each player can choose a specific perk at the beginning of a level, which boosts certain stats such as the effectiveness of healing and aim precision. The player can upgrade their perks by using them often enough or by simply playing through the level and not dying. 

As with other games of the FPS genre, Killing Floor gives the player an arsenal of deadly tools to unleash on the mutated hordes, such as assault rifles, shotguns, flamethrowers, etc. The weapons can be purchased for the in-game money or found throughout the level. Increasing the levels of the player's perks can boost the effectiveness of a given firearm.
