Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Game Review — Nostalgia Over Scares https://www.gameskinny.com/reviews/killer-klowns-from-outer-space-the-game-review-nostalgia-over-scares/ Thu, 30 May 2024 19:07:29 +0000 https://www.gameskinny.com/?p=194697

Killer Klowns is a faithful adaptation, but nostalgia cannot compensate for lacking features that other asymmetrical horrors do better.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game is IllFonic’s video game adaptation of the 1988 movie of the same name. The game is classified as an asymmetric horror, meaning two different-sized teams with opposing goals try to win a match. There have been several video game adaptations of famous horror movies in this genre, so you might wonder if it’s worth playing.

Whenever I play a video game adaptation of a popular horror movie like Killer Klowns from Outer Space, I always compare how well the developers matched the content to the original source material. I do this because I want to feel like I’m inside the movie’s universe, whether by playing unique characters inserted into the story, faithfully recreating characters, or exploring maps that recreate iconic locations from the film.

Here's how to free humans from cocoons in Killer Klowns From Outer Space before they meet an untimely demise!

The primary objective for Humans in Killer Klowns is to escape from the Klowns. However, the Klowns will do everything in their power to stop that from happening so they can harvest Humans by turning them into cocoons and attaching them to Lackey Generators. Every cocoon they hook to a generator will get them one step closer to starting the Klownpocalypse. Luckily, not all is lost if a human is turned into a cocoon, as you have a small window to save them before they suffocate to death inside the cocoon. Here’s how to save humans from cocoons in Killer Klowns from Outer Space.

After a human is turned into a cocoon, you will see an icon of a cocoon appear on your map. When the Klown carries or throws the cocoon, you will see the icon move in the direction the Klown is heading, which is most likely to a Lackey Generator to hook it. In addition, you’ll see a cocoon icon appear on your screen when a Klown hooks a human on a Lackey Generator. This icon will show you the location of the Lackey Generator that the human is hooked on, so you can attempt to save them. The icon will continue to glow until the human dies.

While reaching level 50 may seem daunting, you can do it very quickly by using this quick and easy method. Here’s how to level fast in Killer Klowns From Outer Space to unlock all content for the Klowns and Humans.

The primary objective for Klowns is to turn humans into cocoons and harvest them to bring forth the Klownpocalypse. In addition, they can perform Klowntalities which are funny ways to outright kill humans unlucky enough to be taken down by a Klown. You only have one life if you are killed by a Klown, but luckily there is a way to bring back your fellow humans should you find yourself the last one alive. However, knowing how to find the Resurrection Machine and how to use it can be tricky, especially on bigger maps. Here’s how to resurrect humans in Killer Klowns From Outer Space.

You must use a Resurrection Machine to resurrect humans in Killer Klowns. In addition, Humans can use the Resurrection Machine to resurrect all currently dead players once during a match. Because of this, it is essential to wait to use it until the Klown kills all other real-life players and you are the last human alive to maximize its effect.
