Quick rounds with co-op friends

Two teams face off in short, punchy matches: plant the bomb, rescue hostages, guard a VIP, steal the flag, or just empty the magazine in deathmatch. You spawn, buy from more than 70 weapons and items, and push with your squad around corners and doorways. Fog of war means you only see what your team can see, so checking angles together actually matters. Playing with buddies is the highlight, and bots fill the gaps when lobbies are quiet.

Zombies, turrets and silly weapons

Beyond the classic missions, the stranger modes are where co-op friends have the most fun. In Zombies you hold out as survivors or spread the infection, while Construction lets you build walls, turrets, teleporters and dispensers before the other team breaks in. The arsenal goes from pistols, shotguns, rifles and snipers to flamethrowers, lasers, RPGs, portal guns, chainsaws, molotovs, gas grenades, mines and snowballs. Medic and stealth armor, medkits and money pickups keep the chaos moving.

Make maps and bend the rules

The built-in map editor lets you draw a map and add entities and triggers in seconds, then play it online, over LAN or against Lua-scripted bots. You can write Lua scripts to change the rules, add mods and custom sounds, maps and sprays, or run your own dedicated server. The look is simple pixel art from above with dynamic lights, and the whole thing stays light and quick to download. It is the kind of game where one friend builds something odd and everyone piles in to test it.

Good to know?

Can you play it solo or offline?

Yes. You can play offline against bots, which use Lua-scripted AI, or set up a LAN game. Bots also work online, so a small group of co-op friends can fill the rest of a match and still get full rounds.

What do you actually build in Construction mode?

You spend your resources on defenses and utilities such as turrets, walls, teleporters and dispensers. It pairs well with capture the flag and domination maps, where one team fortifies a base while the other tries to break through and take the objective.

How does the weapon buying work?

Rounds, kills and objectives earn money, and money pickups add more. You spend it on pistols, shotguns, rifles, sniper rifles, machine guns, grenades, launchers, mines, melee weapons, shields and special armors. Console and buy scripts let you speed up the shopping.
