Back 4 Blood is an online multiplayer game where a group of four players teams up to survive a hoard of zombies in a post-apocalyptic world. The game emphasizes teamwork, shooting, and lots of blood. Besides Back 4 Blood and Left 4 Dead, Turtle Rock Studios were also involved with the development of Counterstrike and Evolve.
