Console Corner: Strange Brigade review

Packed full of charm and style Strange Brigade is a pleasant surprise

Just Strange enough to work.

Strange Brigade might just be one of the most surprising titles of the year.

Strange it certainly is, think Indiana Jones meets Scooby Doo and Tomb Raider with some Last of Us thrown in for good measure.

SB is a cooperative third-person shooter and that’s the key, the true essence of the game lies in the co-op action.

You take control of one of four characters from the Strange Brigade in the 1930s and fight against different mythological enemies while solving puzzles along the way following the archetypal colonial action-adventure storyboard.

You can team up with three other players against mummies, giant scorpions and minotaurs with plenty of customisation at your fingertips.

There is a great inventory of weapons available throughout the game and they can all be upgraded. You also use and activate various traps, such as spinning blades and spikes, to kill enemies.
