Strange Brigade

A rollicking 1930s pulp adventure pits a squad of supernatural specialists against Seteki, a resurrected witch queen whose undead army spills across ancient Egyptian ruins. Strange Brigade mixes third-person shooting with the cheerful spirit of old serial adventures, complete with a theatrical narrator, cursed tombs, booby traps, and an unapologetically over-the-top love of mummies. The mood stays playful even when the corridors fill with skeletal warriors, scorpions, and lumbering monstrosities. Its exotic excavation sites, crumbling temples, and hidden chambers make every mission feel like an arcade treasure hunt with a monster problem.

Players choose from four distinct agents, each carrying a signature amulet that charges through combat and unleashes crowd-clearing supernatural attacks. The basic loop involves pushing through enemy-packed arenas, landing satisfying weak-point shots, collecting gems and relics, opening secret paths, and working through environmental puzzles that often activate deadly traps. Weapons range from conventional rifles and shotguns to bizarre experimental tools that freeze, burn, electrocute, or explode the undead, while upgrades let you tune firearms and magical powers to suit your preferred role. The full campaign supports solo play or online co-op for up to four players, and shared firefights become especially entertaining when teammates lure hordes into spinning blades, flame jets, and collapsing hazards.

What separates Strange Brigade from darker zombie shooters is its bright, comic-book pulp personality and deliberate mix of shooting, light puzzle-solving, exploration, and score chasing. Levels reward curiosity with collectible relics, hidden cats, and optional routes, while Horde Mode and Score Attack add replay value for players chasing higher ranks and cleaner runs. Gunplay is accessible rather than brutally demanding, although higher difficulties and coordinated co-op ask players to manage crowds, prioritize elite enemies, and use their amulets at the right moment. Fans of Zombie Army, Left 4 Dead-style co-op, or Indiana Jones-flavored adventure games will find a charming, fast-moving shooter that suits newcomers and veterans looking for uncomplicated undead blasting.
