So this weekend we found a free game on Steam, Codename CURE, originally a Half-Life 2 mod, the title has now hit Early Access for #Linux, Mac and Windows PC. Using the original source engine, the #firstperson #shooter has evolved into a co-operative zombie game with support for up to five players, providing immersive, fast-paced zombie fragging with full out dynamic/objective based missions. And the reviews on Steam are looking very good.
“As a team of special military operatives utilising a range of powerful weapons and equipment (assault rifles, shotguns, sentry guns, supply chests and more), players are tasked with curing infected areas of a post-apocalyptic world by planting controlled explosives before pulling a short sharp exit.
CURE can be played both on and offline, with or without computer controlled team mates. The game sports a variety of difficulty options which adapt dynamically with the number of players. It includes five balanced player classes: Pointman, Support, Assault, Technician and Sniper.”
Here is a video of some current gameplay Codename CURE:
