Back 4 Blood’s PC Specs and What to Expect!

The hardware specs required for the PC version of Back 4 Blood have been revealed. The apocalyptic FPS developed by Turtle Rock Studios is heavily inspired by the classic co-op shooter Left 4 Dead and has garnered much hype as it has been dubbed a spiritual successor. It is developed by the same team behind Left 4 Dead, who went on to establish themselves as a new studio for the game’s development.

What to Expect

The influence of Left 4 Dead is obvious throughout all aspects of Back 4 Blood, as players are tasked with shooting their way through endless hordes of parasite-riddled infected as they make their way between safe rooms.

The game is a co-op shooter with a lot of promise. It builds upon the foundations established way back when Left 4 Dead was dominating the competition, maintaining a strong and loyal fanbase even to this day.

Back 4 Blood adds to Left 4 Dead’s flawless formula with the addition of a card-based perk system and incredibly satisfying gunplay. It includes an extensive armoury, as well as a variety of perks that can be customised to suit your own chosen playstyle. There will be eight characters to choose from, each with their own strengths and flaws, whereas Left 4 Dead’s character choice was purely for aesthetic purposes.

Alongside this, the game also features a varied cast of “Ridden” – the games infected adversaries. Each type of Special Ridden will have their own special attack, meaning players must be tactical in their approach in dealing with these gruesome monsters.
