Dead Purge: Outbreak

Dead Purge: Outbreak won’t win any awards for originality or technical genius, but there’s a fun time to be had here if grinding against hordes of enemies is your thing. It has great eye candy, it looks realistic, and will certainly stress your hardware a bit. It’s one of the finer examples of what can be done with pre-made assets when used by capable developers. The game is a competent effort, but it can’t escape the fact that it’s fundamentally a poor man’s Killing Floor, and at a bit of a steep price for what it is. If you don’t mind a shallow, mindless shooter just to let off some steam at the end of a tough work day, then Dead Purge: Outbreak may just tickle your fancy.
