Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game Reviews
Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Game uses an already established formula from a different source material. It's a simple game that can be interesting for those who like asymmetrical multiplayer, but there are numerous balance and variety issues that greatly affect the game itself.

Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Game is, in my opinion, a breath of fresh air for the asymmetrical horror genre. It introduces a lot of new elements, such as the ability for survivors to fight back and the fact that players who are dead can still contribute to their teammates. Additionally, the community, at least at the moment, isn’t too competitive. This gives the game a light-hearted atmosphere that perfectly matches the theme. There are still a few small improvements that could be made, such as a tutorial for beginners and better combat controls, but overall, I think the game has set a new standard for its genre.

Killer Klowns offers an incredibly enjoyable experience that is ultimately marred by game-breaking bugs, constant disconnects, and a general lack of polish. Things such as locking doors not having an animation, and overall jankiness. This prevents Killer Klowns from reaching the heights it should with both the amusing gameplay and quirky IP. Unfortunately, in this state I have to award Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Game the Thumb Culture Bronze Award. I’d love to revisit this review of the game and award it based on the gameplay in the future.
Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game has all the makings of a great asymmetrical multiplayer game, and it could very well replace most of the current fan favourites. Even if you’re only playing with a small group of friends, the random rotation of who plays on what team and the variety of options to escape will help keep it feeling fresh. The different classes, both Klowns and Humans, offer new challenges and hurdles, and no escape attempt will ever feel the same.
Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game has some creative ideas that wonderfully pay homage to the cult classic film. The Klowns look fantastic and the Klowntalities are fun to watch, but there are still just too many issues that keep it from being something truly special. Playing as the Humans feels like a huge disadvantage unless you can get a good crew together that communicates well. It’s a shame that this game feels like it’s so empty right off the bat because there are some fun times to be had if you can get matched up with other real players and not all bots.
Between the random loot, different character builds, and varying maps, the thousandth match feels as fresh as the first. Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game perfectly captures the spirit of the movie, while innovating on the games it takes inspiration from.
A thrilling multiplayer horror game with enough thrown in the cotton candy machine to spit out plenty of fun, unique gameplay moments, and enticing progression that promises to hook us in further. But the overall experience is only good while the community remains active and lobbies fill up, making it a fight for the team to compel new players to stave off the Klownpocalypse!
With an unusual proposal, Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game is a fun asymmetrical multiplayer game. The levels of action and strategy are balanced, providing competitive matches, although very dependent on the other players in the room. The fight between clowns and humans could also have provided more game options, but at least what we have available is a great choice for fans of competitive and different titles.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game nails the tone and aesthetic of its inspiration, and delivers periodic amusement throughout, though also demonstrates the limitations of a gameplay template that’s starting to feel a little stale.
From the moment you step into the game, the nostalgic allure of the '80s film is palpable. A commendable entry in the asymmetrical multiplayer genre that combines a deep respect for its source material with inventive gameplay mechanics, resulting in a game that is as entertaining as it is chaotic.
An extremely polished and thought-out experience, IllFonic and Teravision Games have a clear reverence for the source material that creates a great gaming experience.
As a longstanding fan of all things horror, Killer Klowns from Outer Space brings a refreshing new take for fans of the genre, offering an experience littered in immersion and interactive gameplay.
Killer Klowns from Outer Space The Game, much like the movie, is an acquired taste, and in very similar fashion, if you’re in the right mind and are among a group that knows what they are in for and are game, there’s a very good time to be had with it. The potential is there, same way as other games in the niche, for this to be a hit, and it’ll all fall to whether or not folks will buy into it. I for one will enjoy seeing how it all plays out as it hits retail.
Killer Klowns from outer Space - The Game is a solid asymmetrical horror shooter that lacks polish and sometimes liveliness, but not humor.
