Strange Brigade is a new co-op shooter that brings a sense of Indiana Jones style adventure and fun to a genre that when played with friends - should always be that. From Rebellion, the studio behind the Sniper Elite series, Strange Brigade is indeed a lot of fun. With the only question being, for how long?

With a cast of likable character to choose from and weapons to unlock in the form of rifles, shotguns, and automatic firearms born from treasure and gold earned after each mission there’s an initial feeling that there might be more to Strange Brigade than the competent and well-executed surface level combat might hint at. There is, and there isn’t. With traps and explosives readily strewn throughout each level, ranging from fire pits to spinning blades, incorporating them into combat adds immeasurably to the fun that comes with taking on a horde of the mummified undead. Also, the improved weapons ranging from powerful shotguns and rifles with added augmentation in the form of gems that can freeze or set enemies on fire in addition to other bonuses, are both well executed and thought out.

The only real problem is that the depth and customisation to the arsenal you can take into battle, in addition to the use of traps and the environment itself during combat, lasts about as long as a single playthrough.
