Its story isn’t particularly memorable either, made worse by a cliche ensemble of characters and the dreaded overacted end-boss, who's frankly borderline comical.Įven in moments where it’s not supposed to, like in midst of searching for your next objective whilst simultaneously fighting off swarms of Zed’s, the humour began to grate on us.

It uses the same rinse-and-repeat formula in nearly every level, and towards the end - despite its fun combat - feels far too overused. Incursion’s storytelling technique goes something like this: go from A to B, kill a few Zed’s in between to progress, and then prepare for the end-level boss. Being able to wield a shotgun one-handed is also an achievement itself, too. It’s a game that is aware of how much you’ll probably get hit too, and playing on normal difficulty, ammo and health pickups are available in abundance to aid with this without too much hand-holding. You'll be playing in places such as Paris and an a-typical horror destination such as The Catacombs, with each map lasting around an hour-and-half each with a few fun mini-puzzles in between to keep you mildly occupied. Its main campaign, which is where we spent most of our time playing, offers up four varied locations as well an introductory tutorial mission. There are two modes on show: the main story and Holdout. This is because the enemies you fight are relatively the same, requiring nothing more than a bullet to the head or a swift slice of an axe to stop them in their tracks. Within its first hours when you’re dabbling with the interface we experienced a few spooks here and there, but nothing prominent thereafter. Though it’s marketed as an action horror game, the horror factor never seems to feel consistent.
