The core game is insanely fun :
3 Klowns vs 7 humans
Humans have to escape from :
-A barricaded bridge, you need to break the barricade, find a key to open the fence and leave
-A boat, you have to refuel, repair, and restart it
-A bunker, you have to refuel it and find a VIP card
-A Klown teleporter, you have to repair it
The Klowns have to kill the humans and prevent them from escaping :
-Cocoon humans using your ranged gun, and hook them (most safe)
-Down them using melee weapons and execute them (Risk of being outrunned/risk of being killed)
The more cocoons you hook to the hook machines, the stronger you get from unlocked abilities, each cocoon will also spawn a minion which will guard the area and you can throw them cocoon that they will bring automatically near hook machines
Klowns abilities :
-(Every Klown) The ability to teleport to an explored area
-(Every Klown) LOL (Yes it's the name), you regenerate lost health and get a bonus to your stats (Faster, more enduring) for 15s
-Unique ability, there are 4 that you can choose freely :
-Spawning a little balloon dog that will bark in the direction of human during some time
-Getting in a Klown car, you are faster and if you hit an human he is stunned
-Transform into a pizzabox to sneak on humans
-Lure an human to you
A match have a timer of 15min after :
A huge pinky apocalypse will cocoon every human
-Humans can escape from a special pizza truck
If Klowns fills every hook machine, the apocalypse comes before the end of the timer
Why is it fun ?
-You noticed I said "Regen health" for Klowns, humans can battle the Klowns, generally 1 Klown overpower an human but with the right weapons (Shotguns, brick throw), into an ambush, a small Klown (you have 5 different type of Klowns to choose from : a small one that goes fast but not resistant at all) can die. You of course respawn after 30-40 seconds depending of how many cocoons you hooked.
1 Klown vs 2 humans is much more dangerous, as one human can stun you with a baseball bat and the other stab you, shoot you. The huge team fights are extremely funny, when you get 5-6 humans vs 3 Klowns, it goes everywhere.
-Items : You have a LOT OF ITEMS, they are scattered around, it includes shotguns, pistols, baseball bat, fireaxe, wrench, knife, a brick that you can throw to stun a Klown, a tennis ball you can distract Klowns with, heals, stamina regens, objective items, a compass, a fire thing that you lights to signal others humans an emplacement and others that i forgot (a wood stick, for example)
-Death management : Ok one of the funniest part, as an human, when you are cocooned, you are not dead, a fellow teammate can come free you or you can break free by yourself from using a knife for example.
If a Klown down you he can execute you (It can be 15 seconds after the game starts, there is no "hook count")
There is a revive machine that a human can activate one time during a match to revive every dead (Imagine Klowns killed 6 humans on 7, the last one activate the machine, boom ! +6 humans in the game)
When you are dead (or escaped), you can do minigames, it will spawn you an item (it can be everything, from a burger to heal to a shotgun or even an objective item), you can choose to keep the item with you if you respawn or to give it to the human you spectate AND you can draw randomly a "respawn card" and you respawn like this. Often as a Klown you will kill a good 12-13 humans during a game
No penalty for leaving a match, you don't get banned, there are humans bots (they are pretty weird, they don't try to escape), a good 5 maps, maybe 6. Humans can use stealth to escape Klowns or hide, as the "aura reading" abilities are very few (at best you get barked at by a dog) there is no scratches marks but if you make a lot of noise from running a Klowns will get a notification.
And one very funny thing, proximity chat, sometimes you will hear peoples speak, one time i played Klowns, we chased a group of 4 or 5 humans and they ran into a building, we heard them from outside "Ok i'm gonna go against the wall and hit them with the baseball bat, you you throw every bricks you have, if you have gun, fire !" or when i passed near a forest and i heard "Oh my god this one is fat !"
[Devs meter]
The devs are not adding a lot of content, they are not dead but it's mostly skins, i don't believe the base game will expand much but oh god that it's funny
[Finding matches meter]
As of 05/06/2025 i easily find matches, the worst search times i got were 2min, usually it's 1 min and you can do several rounds in a same group, with peoples joining, leaving during a match. It's 20% Steam players, 40% Playstation, 40% Xbox
[Price meter]
For 10€ yes it's totally worth it, 40€ is a quite high, 20€ is a pretty good deal
