Jun 11, 2024Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game is an absolute blast and an asymmetrical horror title that leans brilliantly into its ridiculous source material by creating an experience that prioritizes chaos over being overly competitive. The new player experience may not be the most welcoming, but it’s worth preserving through the initial struggle, as what IllFonic has created is an entry to the genre that takes some of the best elements from the studio’s past work while putting an original spin on tried and tested mechanics. In a genre that has arguably become oversaturated, this is a video game that has done the unthinkable by making Killer Klowns from Outer Space seem relevant again in 2024. Here is hoping the relatively niche nature of the IP doesn’t turn new players away, as with the right support, this is a title I cannot wait to dedicate many more hours to going forward.

Jun 6, 2024Many contenders have tried to take the asymmetrical crown from Dead by Daylight, and while Killer Klowns from Outer Space might not necessarily be better than DBD, it's a fun alternative that can stand on its own two (Klown) feet.

Jun 24, 2024For fans of the original film, this game is a true love letter to the original through wonderful sound and character design. Brilliant and innovative additions to the asymmetrical multiplayer genre and strong and unique map design help make this game stand alone in a plethora of available titles. Whilst the game can be frustrating at times due to balancing issues, its overall package is strong enough to overcome this. A relic of the past with a fresh twist. Send in the Klowns!

May 27, 2024Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Game takes a good premise from a bad movie and makes it into a mediocre game.

Jun 11, 2024With an interesting take on the core gameplay of asymmetrical horror and a clear love for the franchise, Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Video Game is dreadfully unbalanced and unforgiving for solo players. Whilst the game has great art direction, the animation and overall movement feels dated. If you like the franchise or indeed Illfonic’s asymmetric outings you can probably dig this, but otherwise it’s not all too memorable.

Jun 5, 2024Killer Klowns from Outer Space serves up a sum total of five maps and a single game mode of launch. Those maps are a decent size and feature some randomization, but after only 4 or 5 hours, I felt I’d pretty much mastered them. I give IllFonic credit for not stuffing the game with microtransactions at launch, but with the lack of content on offer, $40 is a big ask, particularly given how thin the source material is. While IllFonic has vaguely promised some post-launch content is on the way, I question how many scarves they can pull out of their sleeves.

May 27, 2024Most disappointing is the lack of clown comedy. Their shoes squeak when they walk and there are some jokey lines of dialogue, but no hilarious kills. As a human, sometimes a funny cutscene will play when you die, but that doesn't translate to combat. There’s no clown cars or circus tricks, no killer klown spaceship to fight in. Just rural, small town American levels littered with guns and melee weapons. Without the film’s silliness, there’s little reason to play Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game over other popular asymmetric horror titles.
