Left 4 Dead has generic zombies, Tank, Boomer, Smoker, Witch, and Hunter. Yet it's one of the highest rated games last year winning a lot of awards. This is clearly a Left 4 Dead clone so it's not the number of different enemies what will say if this game is good it depends on the gameplay, which they seem to want to make different but the same as L4D. |
Based on the current description, features this game has over L4D:
- characters have different skill sets
- some kind of leveling system
- NPCs to rescue
- some focus on melee combat, at least for some characters
Features L4D has over this game:
- versus mode
Did I miss anything?
I have a lot of beefs with L4D, including the very repetitive gameplay, so there are quite a few things that HVS might do to improve the formula. This game looks like it will have a longer dev cycle than any of their other games, so I think they have an actual shot of one-upping L4D. Of course, it helps that Valve already broke ground on this FPS concept.
