It came quickly, suddenly, and then I just immediately respawned every time, rather taking the sting out of it. The other thing in the preview we weren’t sure about was death. It’s still a work in progress though.” As you can read in our hands-on preview of the game we loved the inclusion of Amulet but felt the actual Powers weren’t interesting enough right now – hopefully Rebellion will give them a bit of a boost. You have to work out the best time to use it. When you have your Power activated you also fire faster and reload faster. Over-the-top, nice and colourful, to make you work towards them. We’re still experimenting with them and making them as fun as they can be. Possibly the main difference between Strange Brigade and Zombie Army Trilogy, other than the humour, is the Amulet Powers that each character gets. It all just feels right!" It does indeed. The guy playing him has worked with us before, and we just gave him licence to go with it and poke fun. "We made him a little sarcastic, tongue-in-cheek, and poking fun at the whole scenario. Of course, having played the game the main source of that humour was the wonderful British Announcer, who comments on everything going on and even makes fun of you if you make mistakes. Zombie Army Trilogy didn’t take itself too seriously but it wasn’t funny in a way Strange Brigade is." The game will offer a lot more replayability. It’s more bright, there are more puzzles. In Zombie Army Trilogy you’re in the dark, it’s just zombies, it’s more horrific, and Strange Brigade is perhaps aimed at a slightly younger audience, set in Africa, it’s in the open, and it’s much more fantastical.

I asked Rob if Rebellion saw Strange Brigade as a successor to the Zombie Army Trilogy, or whether they were counting it as a brand new thing. Of course, being a 4-person third-person co-op shooter the biggest comparison will of course be Rebellion’s own Zombie Army Trilogy, which of course were zombified versions of their own Sniper Elite games. We always wanted to be authentic previously, but this time we wanted to go over-the-top and exciting." We just thought about what’s fun, what scenario can we go to that will be fresh and we can do something a bit different with. We wanted to make it a bit strange and over the top – I mean, how many Lancashire girls have you seen in games?" Rob says referring to Gracie, the shotgun-wielding badass who we actually played in the preview. We thought, no one’s really done a game in the 1930s, it’s all World War 2 or even World War 1. A co-op shooter version of Indiana Jones that doesn’t take itself seriously? How did such a game come about, especially after the excellent but decidedly more serious Sniper Elite 4? "We started to experiment. Strange Brigade is a really odd idea, if you think about it.

We’ve played Strange Brigade! Here are our hands-on first impressions! We sat down (well, stood awkwardly in the corner) with Rob Dale, Community Manager at Rebellion, and had a chat with him about everything Strange Brigade, as well as Rebellion’s plans for 2000AD and the recent release of Rogue Trooper Redux. Strange Brigade is the latest fun co-op experience from the Zombie Army Trilogy and Sniper Elite chaps at Rebellion, and while it’s not out until next year we’ve had an early hands-on with the game and it’s a lot of fun already – like a more insane, more humorous take on the Zombie Army games.
