That island clearly has a problem with energy. Drink a million energy drinks, you're fine.

Drink one whiskey bottle. Fucked

For about 30 seconds, then instant sober.

My favorite parts:
  • Standing with a machete, decapitating oncoming Infected one by one
  • Throwing anything that winds up killing anything (Generic, but satisfying)
  • Pissing off large groups of walkers, climbing a ladder and tossing a molotov
  • Wandering WAY far away from my mission objective and exploring (Act 1 only)
  • Shooting a well-placed gas tank right as a Tank/Ram/etc walks by
  • Head-stomping a walker before he can stand up

My least favorite parts:
  • My rare, expensive weaponry becoming useless when I level
  • Not being able to save whenever I want
  • Not being able to use the mouse as an analog control
  • Getting stun-locked as soon as there is more than one infected nearby
  • The city.

Of my meagre hour of playtime before my friend went home because it wasn't co-op to get something else, I found that my favorite kills were:

1: a kick to the head, making the zombie backflip and hearing a satisfying crunch
2: a knife to the neck, FACEPLANT
3: hitting a zombie in the knee with a knuckleduster, then it going down onto one knee, looking up at me, just for me to hit it twice in the face and seeing its head separate.

Looking back on it, its not as bad as I originally thought, i'm just bitter about the lack of splitscreen

One thing I don't like is how severe level scaling is.

It's like, holy shit, an Eviscerating Murderhammer of Destruction!  This thing kicks ass!  Hoooly shit, I just two shot a thug!

Level up

Now it does like a tenth of the zombie's health on headshots.  :|

Oddly enough the game has two REALLY easy moments

Having 4 players stick together makes the game much easier once you got elemental weaponry as you can keep enemies down.

Soloing the game is also very easy as you have enough damage to easily kill almost any enemy.

Jump kick zombies in the head like a ninja, knock them to the ground and kick their face or nuts until they die, great way to get rid of one or two zombies as you can just keep alternating the kick to keep them down.

You should all be ashamed of yourselves.  The obvious solution is to chain the baby up at the entrance as a kobold detector.

If you're Sam B (VOODOO MON), get to the end of the 2nd skill tree. YOU GET TO KOOPA STOMP ZOMBIES!

If you know down a zombie, you can instantly do OVER TWENTY THOUSAND DAMAGE.

And it goes up by like a thousand every time you level up. It is supposed to instakill, but combine it with stunning weaponry, and you can take down thugs in a stun and a KOOPA STOMP!

Ah.

Go to the bottom of that tree for everyone, then. Shit's about to go 8-bit.

Of course it's modded. You can't actually put fire and electricity in your fists in the vanilla game.
Can't you upgrade brass knuckle type weapons with elemental effects? I remember reading that somewhere. May have been a mod though.

You probably can.

You can electrify wooden baseball bats, so I think they can taserfy up some knuckledusters. OR GASOLINE FALCON PUNCHES!
