Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Game Hands-On Preview – Laugh or Die
American game development studio Illfonic is no stranger to asymmetrical multiplayer games based on popular properties. In the past few years, it has released games like Friday 13th: The Game and Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, which take full advantage of the franchises they are based on to provide fun multiplayer experiences. Following the release of the latter, the developer started working on Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Game, another asymmetrical multiplayer game based on the comedic horror movie released back in 1988, which promises to be great fun.
In Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Game, players can either play as one of the three Klowns or one of the seven humans in 15-minute-long matches. The match objectives change quite a bit, depending on the type of character: Klowns must kill all humans before they escape, while humans must explore the map fully to gather useful items as well as escape tools that grant access to escape routes.

While the basics of the Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Game experience are pretty easy to grasp, the game hides a decent amount of depth beneath its crazy surface. Klowns, for example, have a lot of different weapons and tools at their disposal to kill humans. Alongside the Cotton Candy Raygun, which can be used to trap humans inside a cocoon made of cotton candy to be brought to a special machine to level up and unlock more weapons and tools, Klowns can also use the shotgun-like Popcorn Launcher, or the Boxing Gloves and the Mallet to bring the fight directly to humans. Reducing a human's health to zero will also allow a Klown to unleash a hilarious Klowntality to add some juicy disrespect to the kill. Other tools include the Hypnotic Lure, a great tool to have as it forces humans nearby to go towards the Klown that activated it.
Humans may not have the same number of options the Klowns do, but they are not exactly defenseless.
