Was Turtle Rock able to capture the lightning in a bottle like Left 4 Dead, or does Back 4 Blood fall short of excellence like Evolved?
Let’s take a deep look and review the thrilling cooperative first-person zombie shooter, Back 4 Blood.
It's another entry in the first-person cooperative zombie shooter genre.
After developing Counter-Strike: Condition Zero and its follow-up Counter-Strike: Source, as well as the Xbox port of the original Counter-Strike, the studio started work on a new cooperative PvE original IP, Left 4 Dead.
Before the first Left 4 Dead release, Turtle Rock joined Valve and was renamed Valve South.
Turtle Rock did develop Left 4 Dead 2, but Valve slowly moved away from video game publishing after that.
Other than Left 4 Dead, Turtle Rock also developed Evolved, an asymmetric PvP title that failed to garner mainstream attention, even after its reboot in the form of Evolved Stage 2.
Back 4 Blood is the culmination of Turtle Rock’s development journey, from the success of Left 4 Dead to the failure of Evolved.
In many ways, the card system makes the game and sets it apart in a marketplace of various first-person cooperative zombie shooters.
