Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game is as wacky and crazy as the name sounds and just as wild and goofy to play. Killer Klowns is a fresh and exciting take on the asymmetrical horror experience. The over the top presentation of the game is excellent, the 1980's vibe is highlighted throughout the game and creates a rich and playful atmosphere. I recently watched the movie for the first time (great btw) in preparation for this review and I was happy to see the game draws heavily on the film. From the outfits to the props and even kill animations, all mimic the cult classic horror movie which adds even more nostalgia to the mix.

The matches are wild and chaotic, there are plenty of laughs and thrills to be had, especially when playing with friends. The team composition is 3 Klowns and 7 Humans which provides plenty of opportunity for mayhem. Escaping as a human is challenging but not overly difficult. Playing as a Klown is a joy, but dont let their looks fool you. They are mean, powerful, and there is a variety of funky classes to choose from. All have crazy outer worldly abilities and weapons, like a popcorn gun or walking balloon dog for example, at your disposal to chase and hunt down the humans. I also appreciated the fact that the human team has a fighting chance when encountering a Klown compared to other games. Shotguns, pistols, and baseball bats, are some of the weapons you can use to pop a clowns nose and send them packing. Unlockable classes and abilities help replayability and there are a lot of cosmetics to collect. However after 25 hours I did feel a lack of variety and repetitiveness in the core gameplay. Some aspects like carrying a cocoon back to the ship and chasing humans felt more laboursome than I would of liked, and escaping as a human felt easy at times. There are mini games you can play as a human when you are killed to help your teammates who are still alive to keep you engaged however it was not enough to keep me totally hooked and dying to come back to the game.

The graphics and silly effects are pleasing to the eye with good lighting and character/environment detail. The Klowns look very detailed and creepy, a highlight of the game. There is a decent selection of maps all of which are fun to play on. The online community has dropped heavily since release, though you can still find matches fairly easily and you can also play custom matches with friends. Overall Killer Klowns is a crazy, exciting, and welcomed addition to the genre. A truly memorable game and one I enjoyed my time playing. It is hard not to smile while playing and definitely worth checking out for its price even though it can become repetitive after awhile.

I love the game. playing klowns is super fun. They have super goofy voice lines and things. I really feel like not much people play this is the problem. I hope it get's more people because it really is a good game besides all the problems it has.

It managed to make me feel spooked in my first few sessions but then overtime it went away since I started to get used to how the games maps were like. However this game can be very fun and never make me feel bored of it. I will say that the maps have these great environments to run around in. The music is also very fitting for these maps

Do not buy.

The number of players (less than hundred for steam but there is crossplay) KEEP dwindling because of bad balancing updates.

IllFonic, Teravision Games, prioritize releasing payed dlc so much so that gameplay balancing rarely ever happens.
When they do however, it's clear they don't play their own game.

I got scammed but you don't have to. I will think twice before buying any games from IllFonic.

Good luck.

bad

fun as hell.
