I found my favorite later in the game after unlocking the final tier of monsters. The tickers are crazy and frantic while the larger creatures have a sense of heft. As you would expect, the meaner the creature, the higher the price.Įach monster has a distinct feel and style of play.

As the rounds progress and you kill more and more soldiers, you gain access to tougher creatures. For instance, the Wild Tickers can eat through defenses and swallow grenades, where the Savage Drones can shoot and use cover, but get stuck on defenses. The round starts and I’m faced with choosing a “beast.” Each monster has a purpose and price. I’m not sure if that helped or not but the results were… mixed.Īfter the jump, we put the Bea in Beast mode… I guess I had my full entourage with me, so we decided to try it out four player. From all the early information it sounded like Versus mode in Left 4 Dead, and that roused my interest. I knew Horde mode was going to be good and I’ve played the multiplayer in the beta, so Beast is the only unknown.

The first thing I tried after the co-op campaign mode was Beast mode.
