Edit: It's FREE !!! Great game. You can get this hidden gem for free. Tons of unlockables, proc. generated levels/items/enemies. Side-scroller roguelike/-lite beat 'em up with huge replay value. Even more fun with friends (remote play together works fine!). The non-family-friendly presentation is the cherry on the cake (gore, finishers, ...).

Nifty rogue-like beat-em-up with lots of over-the-top violence, 1-4 player couch co-op, controller support. great value on sale, ideal for when you feel like playing something for an hour and not ten, I like the artstyle, it can be somewhat challenging, compares favorably to something like Streets Of Rage for example

To earn the Karate Kid achievement, you need to take the Iron fist perk, do not take any pets with you to the boss, pump up unarmed damage, and do not change clothes with buffs for passive elemental damage, in short, so that the boss dies only from your fists.

I thought initially there was more buzz around Infected Shelter. It is a perfect storm of ideas most gamers would appreciate. While on the surface it seems like a plain old hack n slash/beat-em-up there are layers of complexity and a perfect steady drip of rewards for doing repeated play-thrus. It's easy to write it off as a zombie apocalypse version of Castle-Crashers with a goofy sense of humor but that glosses over Infected Shelter's more subtle and unique aspects. For one, the sound track sets an actual "mood". Once you choose your survivor and jump in you will find there are in fact moments the various flutes,guitars,and escalating crescendos do in fact make for a more serious trek through the somewhat randomly generated end-of-the-world wastelands. Even if you are a veteran with a missing leg using your crutch to bring down the law or a grand-daughter using your grandpa in a wheelchair as a wrecking ball the moment to moment compositions can make for a surprisingly somber and unsettling sojourn. Everything beyond that is bat-brain-insane of course! You will encounter everything from a mutant buffalo breaking wind to propel itself across the screen to an AI controlled mecha walker that shoots death beams whilst it teleports. In addition to common human zombies there's also bandits,military fractions,attack drones,and infected animals. Despite the gonzo bestiary the biggest "freaks" of all are you and your friends though! In addition to conventional weaponry you can set traps,control the elements of nature like a demented schizo wizard weather-man,and even summon skeletons or flocks of dive bombing birds as if you had your very own mystic shaman license! Wanna buff your shock damage as an electric guitar wielding goth bard songtress? Go ahead. Want to make your heavy-weight frat-bro a corrosively foul belching tank that hits everything with the force of a colliding refrigerator on wheels? Have at it! Want to make your paraplegic war veteran a dastardly clever land-pirate of demolition destruction? Sure chummer,do whatever you want. The build variety is generous and ripe for cheesing! Another odd addition that works in Infected Shelter's favor is the art-style. When I first saw the game I was put off by what looked like a very post modernist-paint by the numbers Cal-arts template. Yet most every animation and effect is smooth as butter whilst combat has a delightful "crunch" to it that arouses those dopamine receptors! I can't explain why but the game's visual presentation has grown on me in an endearing way. It's a stirred up soup of Samurai Jack,Clone-Wars, and Total Drama Island that just works. For a game I played a little over a buck for on sale Infected Shelter has been an unexpected treat. It's such a delightful blend of contrasting oddities in which the devs were not afraid to be off the wall yet in a sincere earnest way that in no way comes off as snide cynical meta commentary. Pros +Rogue-lite that perfectly balances its' rewards for repeated play-thrus creating an addicting feedback loop. +The visual style is not as "lame" as it initially seems. There's some actual heart in there that will make you reminisce back to the golden age of Cartoon Network. +Combat has that visceral guilty pleasure "punch" of horror movie classics like Evil Dead and games similar to Mortal Kombat, Time Killers,and Night Slashers. +The character build variety is a good motivator to press on just to see how much more of a carnage-and-mayhem-merry-go-round you can become! (Don't let your dreams stay dreams! Just do it!) +Soundtrack is surprisingly melancholic and somber. It is a bittersweet gift for the ears! +Despite being a brief jaunt Infected Shelter does offer replayability via loot acquisition,upgrades,unlockables,pets, gradual character growth,and co-op. +Control lay-out is simple and sublime! Neutral -/+ Though the exploratory collect-a-thon and skill tree set ups add welcomed layers, Infected Shelter is still on the brisk and short side. If you are expecting a 20+ hour story campaign to shock and awe you around every turn you will end up feeling short changed. This is a quick fun diversion to return to when you need to unwind after a hard day at work or need an excuse to invite your friend over for some co-op mayhem. Don't take this the wrong way. Infected shelter is a modest marvel for what it is! Yet neither Beat-Em-Ups or Rogue-Lites are meant to be long drawn out affairs.

- 4 player local coop - 1 Keyboard and 3 controllers - Plays very similar to Rampage Knights - Roguelike: you die and try again in a randomly generated mission set - Fun bosses and enemy types - As you unlock new powers/relics/weapons you become more powerful each round making each play bring you closer to becoming a death machine - Hilarious execution animations (you can execute enemies when stunned) - Lots of pets/curses/consumables that make each play-through unique - easily worth it when discounted - Build your freezing powers for an easy win :)
