What is Killing Floor?

Set in devastated English cities and countryside after military cloning experiments fail, this first-person survival horror shooter pits soldiers against waves of hostile specimens. In solo or co-op matches, you shoot creatures, choose role-based perks, use medical tools, and weld doors to redirect hordes across open, nonlinear maps.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy tense, team-based wave survival
  • +you prefer dark horror atmosphere and slower-paced gunfights
  • +you want both offline solo play and six-player co-op

Not for you if...

  • you dislike repeated waves and punishing difficulty
  • you prefer story-led campaigns over survival matches
  • you avoid graphic violence and gore
