Honestly... When I managed to nab a copy of this, admittedly from a live streamer (from who I am eternally grateful for, if only for giving me a free copy of a hidden gem) , I was a bit skeptical as to how much I'd enjoy it. I'd actually played it for a few minutes, or at least tried to through a steam share and it kept crashing. So... I uninstalled it and had given up.

Fast forward to much more recently, and I've now played through the normal difficulty co-op campaign and... I really can't help but recommend it at any cost. You can usually find Scourge:Outbreak in bundles, but I've seen it on sale on steam, so either way, give it a try. It's also got a demo if you're not comfortable picking it up without giving it a try.

What can I say about it... I mean, it seems kind of basic at first glance, your weapons feel rather weak compared to your enemy health and well, some of the abilities are a little underwhelming, and yet it's got this kind of charm I never really thought would hit me this hard. And yet, despite everything the system of leveling up in different categories, fighting through hordes of enemies and watching unique cutscenes for each character makes it a very fun co-op experience.

So yes... Grab this game as soon as you can, it's worth every penny, especially if you're playing with a friend.
