I wrote about Umbrella Corps last year when it came out and it really surprised me. It’s definitely janky and low budget but it was one of the most fun I’d had with a shooter in a long time. It’s got so many weird ideas, like the zombie repellant backpacks everyone wears that can be destroyed, to the emphasis on looking at noise on the radar to find enemies as opposed to seeing them clearly. You’ve got sickles with which to chop people’s legs off but you can also do counters and instantly kill anyone who tries to melee you. You crawl at the speed of light. The maps are small but you zoom really fast so rounds typically last around 30 seconds at most. It’s a fast paced shooter about teamwork, setplay, and reads. And no one plays it on PC.
Until today! Everyone buy this for $1 off the latest humble bundle and let’s finally play this thing. Write that check right now!
Oh man, I could actually find matches last night. It’s a miracle!
I’ve got four three keys for Umbrella Corps if even $1 was too much for this game! Let me know if you want one! Ideally we can get a game of 3v3 going on because that’s how the game was designed for and works best with (the game was later patched to allow matches to start with 2v2 due to low player populations).
I am up for this as well. I’d really like to try the 4 Survivors mode, since in the few games that’s still being played, it doesn’t seem to feature as much. I am AlienX on Steam.
i sent a friend request to everyone in this thread i’m not already friends with, except Raziel because there are many AlienXs and i didn’t know which one you were. maybe you can join the SB group, then it’ll be easier to find you.
Il be round next weekend though!
just ignoring the weird beeeehps the computer is making
