Steam had a 75% off sale for Killing Floor the other day, so I decided to buy and try it out. It's quite fun to be honest!
Currently playing this game with some friends

Has anyone else here tried this game? If so, what is your steam id and maybe we can play together :D

VOD from our livestream


About Killing Floor


It’s a co-op survival horror game. Up to 6 players in online co-op mode, or just you, on your own, playing the Solo mode. The aim – cleanse each area of zombies, in waves, until you get to the last one. The Big One. The Patriarch. Then exterminate him, too. Actually, they aren’t “zombies”. They are the left-over “specimens” from a cheap and dirty government program to clone soldier-monsters. The basic ones will just munch on your arm and try to disembowel you. The bigger ones were the first ones they tried arming. Nothing much. Just a chainsaw or a blade for starters. They had just got on to the chain gun and rockets when the government tried to secretly shut down their secret program.

But, in the typical way these things go, the program didn’t want to be shut down. The specimens got loose. No-one was left alive to turn off the specimen-cloning equipment. And now they are running amok. Well, some of them are running amok. Others are shambling amok or even jumping amok, but you get the idea.

The police were sent in, but that wasn’t even a challenge for the specimens. The first army units hadn’t been warned what to expect. The screams of “its got a bloody chainsaw!” over the radios probably didn’t do much for morale, as whole units were chewed up. Quite literally, in some cases, of course.

And now, there is just you. And a few friends. The few survivors from the first police and army units thrown in. Of course, you can’t tell anyone anything, because that would be a breach of the Official Secrets Act 1911, 1920, 1989. And that would be a disciplinary offense. So just get in there and do your bit for Queen and Country…

Zombies. Lots of them. Big ones, little ones. Armed and Dangerous. JUST MAKE THEM ALL GO AWAY!
Killing Floor is a co-op survival horror shooter available for download through Steam.

Product description:

Killing Floor is a Co-op Survival Horror FPS taking place in the devastated cities and countryside of England, after a series of cloning experiments for the military goes horribly wrong. You and your friends are members of the military, dropped into these locations with a simple mission: survive long enough to cleanse the area of the failed experiments. The only problem is, these “experiments” aren’t waiting to be taken out – they’re coming for YOU!
Key features:
  • Co-op game mode for up to six players obliterating multiple waves of specimens
  • Persistent Perks system, allowing players to convert their in-game achievements into permanent improvements to their character’s skills and abilities
  • Over 40 Steam Achievements, including “Dignity for the dead” for killing 10 enemies feeding on dead teammates’ corpses and “Hot Cross Fun” for finishing off 25 burning enemies with a Crossbow.
  • Watch those crucial and violent creature deaths in slomo “ZEDtime”, even in multiplayer
  • Solo game mode for offline play
  • 9 different monster types trying to eat your face off, armed with everything from teeth and claws, through to chainsaws, chainguns and rocket-launchers
  • 12+ weapons for the players to chose from, ranging from knives and fire-axes up to pump shotguns, rifles and a flamethrower
  • Add in a welder, medical tools and body armor to help the players survive
  • Players choose which Perks to play with, so they can best balance out a co-op team to survive the horrors
  • Open, non-linear play areas: choose when and where to fight – or run; weld doors closed to try and direct the monster horde
  • Fully-configurable, allowing players to change things as simple as the difficulty level or number of creature waves, or go so far as to set up their own favorite waves of monsters
  • Support for Steam Friends and other Steamworks features
  • Includes SDK for the creation of new levels and mods


The History of Killing Floor

Killing Floor started life as a mod for Epic’s Unreal Tournament 2004. The mod was first released in 2005 and has steadily grown in popularity. It was featured in PC Gamer and PC Zone magazines back in 2005, plus various sites across the web. A small core team, led by Alex Quick, kept the mod going. As with all mod teams, people came – and people went. School, work, life and being eaten by stray specimens all took their toll on the team. By 2008, the mod was up to version 2.5 and a small but dedicated and perfectly-formed crew of 4 people.


During 2008, Tripwire was the first company outside Valve themselves to put out mods to their games over Steam, with the release of “Mare Nostrum” for Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45. Given Tripwire’s famous background as a mod team, this was no surprise.
Later in 2008, Alex brought Killing Floor to Tripwire’s attention, with a view to moving it on to Red Orchestra and lining up a mod release over Steam. We took a look and decided it was way better than that. So, a deal was done, Tripwire bought the rights to Killing Floor, took on the mod team and set about prepping the game for a full retail release over Steam. Valve, as always, were hugely supportive and all that was required was an insane level of effort from Alex, Myles, Marco and Zynthetic from the mod team, plus more insane effort from the Tripwire crew.


Killing Floor was announced to the world through IGN and Voodoo Extreme and a new article in PC Gamer UK. The response was excellent. To quote: “you can never have too many good zombie games…”. And the rest is down to YOU!

You mod bro?

Me and my friend used to be kinda good at this game, but he stopped playing cause he bought a xbox (blegh!) and I stopped playing because he got a xbox.. that and I got a dota 2 beta key.

However, this game was incredibly fun while it lasted, and an amazing time sink, I want to say it was better then left 4 dead, so I might get crucified, but truly, it was a great game, I really enjoyed it for the time that I played with it.

Have to disagree, high level clan wars in l4d with friends back in the good old days before l4d2 is the most fun ive ever had in gaming.
Killing floor is still a great game though, i only paid £5 for it and ive logged 147 hours so far, thats not much money per hour of specimen shredding fun.
Currently suffering from the thompson routers glitch which means i cant play but if i get it working again ill post my steam if anyones looking for someone to play with.

I played it on a free weekend. It's a really fun game, i enjoyed it more than L4D as well.

Although playing it by yourself isn't nearly as fun as having a few people in vent and playing as a group

Its especially enjoyable when everyone has a mic. Communication or just screaming in fear

All my perks are 6 except zerker because I dislike paying zerker, although not being stopped by clots is awesome. I'm a pro medic and obviously a pro sharpshooter (lol broken class).

candlesmoke is really awesome but I still haven't beaten it. I always get stuck as support specialist because of the carry space, though I'd rather be a medic or sharpshooter (medic is my favorite class <3)

Medic is awesome. Back before the xbow nerf I could solo expert farm by just kiting everything, 2 shotting FPs was especially awesome

ps fuck sirens



Also this game is better than L4D imo

I am personally shocked that this game has enjoyed the longevity that it has. I played it for a couple weeks and grew bored with it. I prefer L4D2. I guess this game might be more fun if your playing with friends, but the pick up games i played grew boring quickly.

Edit- I think a mod should move this to the Sports and Games Board. OP is a really good write up deserving of that section.

This game goes nicely with Left 4 Dead. I play both on steam with friends regularly and we all seem to agree that they each have a very nice place in the zombie shooter genre. Killing Floor has no PvP aspect and is slower and more realistic. Left 4 Dead however is faster, more fluent, and better suited for competitive play (versus mode, scavenge, etc.). Killing Floor is wave progression based while L4D is distance progression based. KF maps are non-linear and open while most L4D maps are linear. Killing Floor has no real "story" (just a general idea behind the situation) while L4D has an interesting one (imo of course). They are actually extremely different games and balance awesomely.

Play both is my recommendation.

I LOVE THE AA12

Yeah. I don't see why everyone compares KF with L4D. I guess they are the biggest online zombie games at the moment but they don't have much in common other than that. I play KF because it's a nice change from all the competitive games I'm playing. It's like a singleplayer game really but you play it with others. Just fun and relaxing. But still it's a very skillful game and you can become really good at it. It sucks if you're playing with boring people though.

Yeah, versus mode vs. a co-op game.

... What a fair comparison.

Medic with a xbox and katana was broken before they nerfed both of them, it could do everything. You should get zerk to 6 its the best class now id say

I know. I kinda miss it. I still prefer medic though. Also, a really good demo is awesome, but anyone less than amazing at it will ruin everybody's day :\

I think I'll try it out based on the responses in this thread, Left 4 Dead never really did it for me, but I do enjoy me a zombie-bashing game with friends

Don't let the name throw you Jimmy, it's not really a floor; it's more of a steel grating that allows material to sluice through so it can be collected and exported.

I accidentally joined a Normal server last night, watched my team of level 1 and 2 randoms get rolled, and then proceeded to solo every wave (they thought that splitting up to get the most kills individually and end up being mercilessly slaughtered was the best strategy) with my awesome demo. We had a 0 and a 3 medic, and somehow both of them and the other 3 guys all managed to die within 3 minutes of the round starting. On normal. Come on :\
