Whilst many fans are eagerly awaiting a sequel to the much-lovedDays Gonegame, there could be a new horror title on the horizon that could just prove to be more enjoyable. The promise of an open-world FPS zombie survival game is a prospect that many horror fans look forward to but when there is a legendary horror director attached to it, then that makes many people sit up and take notice.
Legendary Horror Director John Carpenter has inspired what could be this year’s best horror title inToxic Commando. Aimed at those players who love over-the-top humour and classic 80’s horror cinema, this co-op game sees you team up with friends to blast away the swarms of zombies whose only goal is to eat you.
Could this be the best open-world survival horror game since Days Gone?
The confirmation of the upcoming game from publisherFocus Entertainmentconfirms that the game will launch this year for PS5, Xbox Series S and PC, but sadly there is no official release date at this time. Much likeDays Gone, the game is an open-world FPS however, unlikeDays Gone,Toxic Commandohas co-op action which means that you’re able to bring friends in on this adventure.
Looking at the officialtrailerthere are similarities that can be drawn betweenDays GoneandToxic Commandoin terms of the cinematics and indeed the look and feel of the game. The swarms of zombies descending on players are reminiscent of the zombie hordes that were encountered in the 2019 game.
Despite John Carpenter being well known as a Horror Legend, he has lent his wealth of knowledge to the Comic Book industry and some of his graphic novels have no doubt been used as source material for this upcoming Horror game. Indeed within John Carpenter’sTales of Science Fictionseries, there is a look at the coming apocalypse which could be where the idea forToxic Commandostemmed from.
The background to the plot ofToxic Commandois that in an attempt to harness the power of the earth’s core, the experiment results in disaster unleashing the fury of the Sludge God. In an attempt to right the wrongs, the genius behind the experiment hires a highly-trained group of mercenaries to take care of the problem and that’s where you and your friends come in.
Much likeDays Goneplayers will have the opportunity InToxic Commandoto upgrade their abilities and their weaponry as they take on the undead hordes which threaten existence. With the challenges facing players becoming increasingly hardcore, teams will have to embrace their inner commando to send the horrors they encounter back to hell.
For many horror fans, it has perhaps been a long time coming for a John Carpenter game and many will be hoping that it matches the legacy of the man himself. For a director who has such a rich history in the film industry, it is maybe strange that it has taken this long for Carpenter to lend his talents to the gaming industry and we look forward to seeing what he brings to the table.
There may be similarities to be drawn betweenToxic CommandoandDays Goneand that is inevitable with open-world FPS zombie survival games. The latter did have its fair share of bugs but that didn’t detract too much from the enjoyment of the game and we can only hope thatToxic Commandois as good as the trailer makes it out to be.
