So far, Back 4 Blood just seems like more Left 4 Dead. The Game Director mixes things up by randomizing item and enemy placement every run, meaning what may have been an empty building on one run is filled with undead on the next, or that first aid kit that saved your life may not be there the next time. Moment to moment gameplay is controlled behind the scenes by a “Game Director” that acts in a similar fashion to Left 4 Dead’s “AI Director”. Players wield a variety of guns and melee weapons in their fight against the undead, with primary and secondary slots.
These levels are interconnected by safe rooms where players can rest and gear up before venturing out again. Across a lengthy campaign mode made up of 4 Acts, players must choose an avatar (called a “cleaner”) and traverse a series of levels, fighting and surviving waves of zombies (called “Ridden” here) and special zombies who have larger health pools and various special abilities, with the occasional environmental objective thrown in for good measure. Back 4 Blood is a first-person, 4-player cooperative multiplayer game with a structure that exactly mirrors Left 4 Dead.
