Review

Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game delivers a nostalgic trip for fans of the cult classic '80s film while presenting an engaging asymmetrical multiplayer experience. Players can either join the ranks of the iconic Killer Klowns to harvest humans or team up with other survivors to fend off the alien invasion in the picturesque yet eerie town of Crescent Cove. The game excels in capturing the essence and humor of the original movie, complete with zany weapons and elaborate Klown tactics. The necessity for strategic teamwork makes each match thrilling, whether you’re defending the town or causing chaos as a Klown. However, some balance issues give a slight edge to the Klowns, and players have reported minor technical hitches. Additionally, the game could benefit from more diverse maps to enhance replayability. Overall, it’s a joyride into the bizarre and absurd, perfect for fans of horror comedies and team-based survival games.
