Rather than solving a puzzle or unlocking clues, the entire Left4Dead series is centered upon fast-paced, in your face zombie shooting mayhem! Pitted as a team of four survivors, players embark on a series of quests to fight their way through zombie hordes in hopes of not being one of the unlucky ones who’re quote, “Left for Dead!” Unlike the Resident Evil series that often encompasses a semi open-world environment, the campaigns in Left4Dead typically take on a linear form of progression, with the object of the game being to make it to the next safe room alive, or be eaten alive! One of the really unique aspects of Left4Dead that truly set it apart from the typical zombie titles such as those noted above, was its arcade like game play, easy to learn game play mechanics, and fast paced run ‘n gun rampages. But what was it that made this game so compelling that people would continue to play it almost religiously a decade on, and what does the future of the world’s most famed zombie shooter hold in store for the world of zombie franchises?įirst off, when we think of zombie games, we typically think of the survival-horror genre, especially series like that of Resident Evil, Evil Dead, Dead Island, or Dead Rising.

It’s been over a decade since Valve released the world’s most beloved apocalyptic first-person zombie shooter Left4Dead (November of 2008), and despite its aging status, the game series remains very much alive and well today.
