The British Empire goes to war against the undead
THE FACT THAT the British Empire hosted an international team of paranormal troubleshooters—emphasis on shooters —is unrecorded in the history books. Thanks to Rebellion, then, a developer whose commitment to historical accuracy cannot be questioned, especially after the testical-shooting gratification of Sniper Elite, for bringing it to light.
Strange Brigade is a co-op shooter pitting you against swarms of Egyptian themed zombies, and as such loses something if played solo. It’s also aggressively British, with three of the initial four characters coming from the heart of the Empire, while the fourth, a bit of a stereotype, is from a colonized country. A pre-order exclusive extra character adds diversity, while the first DLC character—an all-American rodeo rider—has already been announced.
The game seems designed to drain your wallet, as the trickle of free extra maps is dwarfed by the “season pass” content, available for a few bucks each.
