The one thing you can't change is their special amulet-powered attacks, which can be anything from pulling an enemy close before punching them away to lunging forward with an explosive ground strike. Only the pistol remains the same for each member of the brigade, but if you don't like their starting weapons, you can buy new ones if you have the coins to do so. Throwables are also different, so you may throw a grenade, a bundle of dynamite, or a Molotov cocktail. One character is equipped with a high-powered rifle, while another has an assault rifle. For example, their starting weapons are all different. The game starts off with the character selection, and there are a few differences beyond their appearance. It can all seem cheesy to those who have never seen an old serial before, but for those who have, that addition alone will have them grinning every time the narrator speaks or a new monster is introduced. With each chapter presented as a serial, the charm comes from the use of old black-and-white film for cut scenes, complete with dust and film scratches, and a narrator designed to make a big deal out of any new discovery, lucky break, or feat of wonder. In the 1930s, a group known as the Strange Brigade is assigned to hunt down evil supernatural activity and stop those who are about to unleash it into the world in the first place. The story follows an Indiana Jones-esque blueprint. Strange Brigade is the latest game to try and capitalize on what the classic zombie shooter established, but there are enough changes here to make it more than just Left 4 Dead with mummies. The series, originally developed by Turtle Rock Studios, provided an excellent blueprint for how a modern, co-op, first-person shooters should function, and that formula is still being copied to this day with games like Warhammer: Vermintide II. Ask a PC gamer to name their favorite co-op shooter, and there's a good chance that either of the Left 4 Dead games get a mention.
