With John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando, team up with three other players to defeat the Sludge God and his undead horde in pure co-op chaos. Survive the infected onslaught by perfecting those teamworking skills. Revive your teammates, share the ammo, watch each other’s backs and unleash hell.
There’s a variety of weapons to use, ranging from guns to grenades, and even more devastating weaponry. Plus there are vehicles scattered across the semi-open maps that can be used to race across the wasteland, gunning down the infected and turning them into roadkill. There are different vehicles available, some with serious firepower, some with special abilities, and others feature handy tools like winches.
