There is a narrator who explains in-game events and your actions in an exaggerated and hilarious voice that remains fresh throughout the game. Each has their own backstories, personality, motivations and abilities. The base cast includes the professor with some nifty gunplay Archimedes de Quincey, the soldier turned fortune hunter Frank Fairburne, the hardass Gracie Braithwaite with her strong right hook and the witch-warrior Nalangu Rushida. The story is pretty reminiscent of the various Mummy films in the sense that some fool archaeologist awakens ancient big bad and you’re called in to solve the mess. You get to play as 4 agents employed by the agency, who get to go around the world, kill some paranormal stuff and find ancient relics for ‘safekeeping’. Think the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen meets The Mummy. The game is set in the 1930’s and is centred around a secret group of paranormal investigators funded by the British government. As such, the barebones story of Strange Brigade doesn’t drag down the rest of the game, not even for a bit.
I’m with John Carmack when it comes to the story in an all-out action game.
It was released for PC, PS4 and Xbox One on August 28, 2018. Strange Brigade is a third-person co-op adventure developed and published by Rebellion. Let’s see what the fuss is about, shall we? Just when I thought I was satisfied with what co-op games I had, here comes Rebellion with Strange Brigade– a co-op title with a unique 1930’s adventure film vibe. Kicking ass and taking names with a few buddies riding shotgun is a feeling even the perfect cup of coffee can’t bring out. I lost track of the time I spent in games such as Left 4 Dead, Vermintide 2 and Killing Floor 2. Aside from RPGs, co-op shooters are my bread and butter.
