How does this compare to L4D2?

Really confused about what this game is, how does it compare to L4D2?

Theres just too much dlcs on this one. L4D2 with mods is much better.

Things you'll recognize as a L4D2 player:
-You have a dedicated start and end point to each map that comes in multiple chapter like stages.
-First person shooter with the occasional melee option
-4 man team vs unlimited number of zombies
-various special zombies with unique powers

Key Differences:
-Boss fights. There's lot more variation than just the tank \ horde finales, and you'll need to figure out the mechanics to defeat them.
-Characters. These are generally a lot less well defined, but there's also a lot more of them you can play as and there's a vastly greater degree of customization.
-Weapons. Again, there's a greater degree of customization here, as well as just a wider selection of firearms to choose from - with the caveat that many are DLC items you have to buy.
-Repeatability \ Replayability. This game is great! The maps are wonderfully designed and an absolute joy to look at-the first two or three times. They take much longer and they can be much more rng randomly punish\wipe heavy than left 4 dead, which gets old fast. There's also no versus mode. Basically you've gotta enjoy the same basic experience and environment slowly getting easier through permanent upgrades, as opposed to each match being its own unique experience in the same environment starting from scratch.

Overall, this is a great single player game experience, worth playing through, but it probably won't have the staying power that L4D2 has.

(I know it didn't for me.)

Cheers!

Played L4D2, didn't like it. Loved this one though, thought really hard on resisting buying all the damn over-priced DLCs lol.
This game feels more elaborate, different setting, art style, the game-play mechanics are top-notch, especially rifles n' sniping. Kinda mixture of a military pseudo-simulator inside Doom/Quake/Unreal/wolfenstein blended in WW2-era universe XD
Rest, Neon Noodles sums it up pretty nicely !
Edit PS : BTW I got L4B (Left 4 Blood) recently and quite enjoy it, has similarities with this one more then L4D2 !

This game is the best you will get since LFD2. Far closer to LFD2 than B4B was. What a trainwreck B4B was.
