Players have the option to move through each area in either free or teleportation mode, the former of which may make some players more prone to motion sickness. If anything, the combat is punishingly fun.
That’s not to say the pace of movement and combat in Incursion are unreasonably sluggish. The first time you round a corner in an attempt to flee and find yourself buried under a comically large pile of Zed, you learn to take your time and clear the space before moving along. While we all know the movement issue is a limitation of current graphics and processing hardware, the lesson sticks. How long can you run, though? Would careening into the next room completely blind really be a good idea? No. Sure, you’re in a simulation, and you should theoretically be able to run as fast as you can in real life. Here, it works well to create tension and remind players that their actions have limits. This devotion to uncomfortably slow movement would be a detractor in another game. Stroll in like a boss and take your licks, Sergeant. You’re here for a cheeky fight with a wave of zombies and maybe one good friend. You’re not running, nor fleeing in a particularly concerned manner. Incursion covers a lot of space, though it does so at a pace that feels more like a swagger than a sprint. Speaking of a country mile, you’re going to be walking a few. Killing Floor: Incursion is the better game, by a country mile.
Too often, though, players conflate a shared subgenre with further similarities, and Killing Floor: Incursion suffers for it. Case in point: If there were no zombies, would anyone be comparing Killing Floor: Incursion to Arizona Sunshine? If you’re into zombie killing games, a correlation can undoubtedly be made. It’s not a terrible thing for a game when the worst complaint I have about it is that it is compared to another game too often.
