Cooperative shooter games are typically intense and difficult, requiring everyone to work together effectively to succeed. What makes Strange Brigade unique is the fact that it emphasizes a casual, laid-back experience that everyone can enjoy regardless of skill level.

Creative design; Solid gameplay mechanics; Strong balance between combat and puzzles

Poor level design; Mediocre presentation

When I saw the reveal trailer for Strange Brigade in spring, I was hyped. The game was promised to be a fun action adventure drawing its inspiration from the pulp fiction serials of 1930's. Just what I wanted to see!

Mummy trouble

Looks good; Loads of puzzles and collectible; Cool characters and special weapons

Shooting needs tightening; Levels are a touch too long

Welcome to the fun, bizarre and entertaining world of the Strange Brigade and this review would read better if you put on a voice from the 1930's… as players go head to head against the nefarious witch queen Seteki who has risen from the dead to bring madness to the world.

Developed by Rebellion, Strange Brigade is the latest venture into the horde-based co-op territory by the developers following games like the Zombie Trilogy which also similarly grouped up players to take on hordes of enemies in a simple progression setting.

Breathtaking Visuals; Puzzle Varies Up Gameplay; Dated Movie/Tv Presentation; Using Traps Feels Satisfying; Great Fun for Co-op

Repetitive; Not Meant For Single-Players; Overuse of Narration

I wanted to love Strange Brigade , I really did. I played it at EGX last year and had a lot of fun with it. Rebellion, the developers, have built the Sniper Elite franchise up and reached a pinnacle with Sniper Elite 4 last year, and I had high hopes for their new adventure.

brash team shooter that's just a little too dumb

Great
