Strange Brigade

fun game, played solo and beat it easily. hoard mode is fun too. i'm not the biggest fan of puzzles, but only a few puzzles were required to advance. smooth game and good graphics. on sale, it's a good deal.

I enjoyed playing this game. It has a good story and gameplay, the narrotor is funny, it has puzzles and collectibles, some multiplayer modes and the achievements are kinda easy to get. I recommend the game, 10/10!

Do you know what? I heard a lot of bad stuff about this game; "It's a cheap nazi zombie army", "it's a sniper elite ripoff with half the features missing" etc. etc. but it was just a nice fun game. Very campy, reminiscent of the adventure movies of the 30's, good old "Good vs. Evil" plot, the characters have personality, the gameplay is pacey and fun. Also it's like 20% of the price of a sniper elite game so...

Normally,I don't like puzzle-type games.But Strange Brigade really has a different experience.After playing this game,I started to love puzzles.The game is really funny and very beautiful.It is a better game,especially with friends and a full team of 4 people.I would definetely recommend the Extreme challenge,and those bulls that were constantly running at you had me throwing a tantrum.I would not recommend buying the game at its current price.But if it goes on sale,I suggest you buy the full version.Good games

Strange Brigade is fairly brief at around 8 or 9 hours, so while I wouldn't recommend it at full price, it's on sale for 90% off pretty frequently. At a tenth of the cost, it's a no brainer. The same goes for the Deluxe Edition, Season Pass, or the three Thrice Damned DLC missions (another ~3 hours of playtime that continue the story of the base game) with similar discount. I can't speak to how useful the DLC characters or weapons are since I didn't try them; they didn't seem to offer anything game-changing so I just stuck with the standard ones.
The design of the game, from the setting to the environments to the old-timey narrator, just oozes with quirky character. It looks phenomenal and plays really enjoyably. There are some great cinematic moments, action that keeps you on your toes, challenging boss fights, and in my recollection it was entirely bug-free (scorpions and scarabs notwithstanding). Worth noting is a clever mechanism that tells you when there's an enemy behind you: a ghostly hand reaches up from the bottom of the screen, giving you time to dodge away or spin and shoot.
The story isn't anything to get excited about (BBEG plans world domination, so you go around destroying artifacts that would facilitate said rise to power) and in fact has several even weaker points, but the gameplay is fun and there are numerous puzzles and collectibles along the way (very few of which we collected because evidently we're really bad at that?). Oh, and it's coop, which is entirely the reason I played it. All in all it's a really fun third person 1930s action adventure and made me wish there was more, even after the DLC missions.

It's literally just a more puzzle focused Indiana Jones/The Mummy themed re-skin of Rebellions previous Zombie Army games.
Except now T-rated, so no blood or gore. This means no X-ray shots, which are the biggest staple of Sniper Elite and Nazi Zombie Army. Without that gimmick it's just a mediocre shooter. Not bad, not great.
Is it worth playing? Not for what it goes off sale for, $49,99. If you can get it under $5, it's a fun pass time.
Also, be warned, this is from near the start of Rebeliions egregious DLC practices of locking almost all content behind a paywall, and yes, a ton of things are re-used from Zombie Army and Sniper Elite, including weapons, animations, etc., INCLUDING some of the DLC content, just like their newer games all do.

A game that you don't hear much about but is really fun. A bit like Left For Dead and Nazi Zombie Army in 3rd person game play. A good coop game to play with friends. The graphics are nice and looting is addictive. lots of action and enemies to kill. Some really nice screenshot views of jungle landscapes and even the pyramids. It's got that classic Indiana Jones type vibe. Treasures, mysterious crypts and dungeons to explore and discover. Surprisingly nostalgic and an overall good time.
