Players drop into dreary Pacific Northwest America as up to four different personalities in Holospark’s Earthfall, searching for salvation while fighting off hordes of an alien invasion. The co-op First-Person Shooter (FPS) leads through ten linear levels of extra-terrestrial carnage, innovative defence building, and… not much else.

10 years ago Left 4 Dead graced our screens with a small concept. Satisfying gameplay, easy controls, and a simple narrative contribute to the late 2000’s success. The series consistently inspires the horde-murdering genre including the impressive Killing Floor and Warhammer: Vermintide, both building upon the original idea. Holospark’s Earthfall is the latest game to enter the genre aiming to perfect the formula. Beginning as a premature Early Access title, the game has gone through continued development and is now optimised and running smooth. However, the largest issue for the game is its lack of flavour and content when compared to competing titles.
