About

Left 4 Dead is set in a zombie apocalypse situation. You play as one of four different characters - Louis, Zoe, Bill or Francis - and try to go to safety zones at each of the levels or leaving the infected areas. The main story follows four protagonists in their attempts to escape the hordes of zombies and other infected mutants. Every single time though something goes wrong.

At every single chapter, players must defend themselves from a horde of zombies as well as completing different tasks in order to leave the location - power up the generator, contact military service via radio or some other objects. Every level you start in a safe room with melee and firearms weapon, like UZI, Katana, AK-47, supplies and medicaments like the first-aid kit which will heal you or your partner and painkillers which will give you some amount of health that you will lose over time. Ordinary zombies are not the only enemies you are going to face, as Smokers, Hunters, Tanks and other mutated monsters are about to stop you from getting to the end of the level.

    Left 4 Dead reviews and comments

    great co-op fun.  alright single player fun.
    This is one of the first cooperative games against zombies. I remember playing it a lot on release in the fall of 2008. Developed by «Valve», this game has become a classic and has left a mark in the hearts of many players.

    Cooperative playthrough:
    «Left 4 Dead» introduces the concept of team play, where cooperative cooperation and player interaction is important. Each campaign features four players united by a common goal of surviving the zombie apocalypse.

    Featured Zombies:
    The game offers a wide variety of zombies, including special infected such as Boomer, Smoker, Hunter, Witch and Tank, each with unique abilities and posing different threats.

    AI Director:
    One of the features of «L4D» is the «AI Director», which adapts the game to the team's play style by changing the location and number of zombies, as well as offering different challenges and circumstances.

    Atmosphere:
    A unique atmosphere of fear and despair, flavored with paced and tense gameplay. The game skillfully combines elements of horror and action.

    Versus Mode:
    In this mode, players can take on the role of specialized infected, fighting against another team of survivors. This adds even more variation to the gameplay.

    So, «Left 4 Dead» remains one of the leading representatives of the cooperative first-person shooter genre, and if you missed the chance to enjoy this game in your time, I recommend you remedy that.

    Great Game. The Campaigns are diverse and Add-ons expand this Diversity. The Special Zombies miss the Game the necessary Spice and the Items (Tablets, Mollie, Pipe Bomb) are also great. It'S fun with Friends as well as in Single-player mode, although the other three Team Members as NPC are a little inept and you have a harder time. It is also stupid that you have to run alone, so that it usually hits you first, for example in the Hunter or the Witch. Nevertheless good Game, you can play again and again.

    In the first Part clearly the Melee Weapons, Grenade Launchers, Adrenals and many other Weapons such as the Colt or THE AK are clearly missing. Too bad, because more Weapons more Variety. Otherwise typical 4-Player coop, where you can butcher your Team through various campaign maps with your team or in Versus Mode (PVP) can make yourself as an Infected person in the Hunt for the Survivor Team. A Game that's Fun when the Team fits! In My Opinion L4D2 BETTER, because there are the Weapons that I now miss in the first Part. Also, in the second Part you can find a few more Infected and Maps, which bring more Variety into the Game. Bought For 1.99€ on Offer, they are all worth it. 19.99€ I personally find something much for such an old but good Game, for the same price you can already get the second Part with more Content. Have fun.
