Our take on Outbreak: Epidemic
The page emphasizes a four-player co-op premise, but also specifies that local splitscreen supports two players. Solo play is available, and the campaign, horde, and bonus modes give the game a broader structure than the co-op headline alone suggests.
What is Outbreak: Epidemic?
Outbreak: Epidemic is a survival horror game about leading Gwen, Renault, Kara, and Tom through an undead outbreak.
Campaign Mode combines combat with searching locations, reading logs, finding keys, and solving puzzles. Onslaught Mode pits players against groups of undead with limited supplies, while Experiments Mode offers additional modes with different survival-horror variations. Play alone or in co-op, including two-player local splitscreen and multiplayer for up to four players. Combat uses firearms and melee weapons, and difficulty settings are available. The game uses an over-the-shoulder viewpoint and supports gamepad, mouse, and keyboard controls. The vendor says more content, including scenarios and game modes, is planned during Early Access.
