It cannot be understated: FighterZ's visuals flawlessly capture the feeling of watching Dragon Ball. There is no shortage of iconic stances, animations, and easter eggs for Dragon Ball fans to sift through. In a nutshell, if a zombie-shaped hole has been left in your heart since 2009’s Left 4 Dead 2, Back 4 Blood will occupy that space snugly. The gunplay is crisp and satisfying - it makes a clear evolution from Left 4 Dead by incorporating attachments and ADS mechanics without sacrificing the loose, fast, and frenetic run-and-gun action.
There are even special types of “Ridden,” as Back 4 Blood terms its zombies, to contend with on the journey. Up to four players can team up to tackle a mission-based campaign, each of which ends up with the group fleeing into the relative safety of a safe room. Back 4 Blood is an FPS shooter that has been clearly styled in the same vein as Left 4 Dead, which makes a great deal of sense considering Turtle Rock did develop the original zombie-slaying shoot ‘em up. Nothing makes for a great time quite like fending off a horde of zombies alongside your friends.
