Game modes

Modes: Back 4 Blood features two different modes. The first one is a PvP Swarm mode where two teams of four players each confront each other and have the possibility to choose between playing a Cleaner or a Ridden - which also modifies their abilities and weapons. The second one is a cooperative multiplayer where players will have the possibility to team up with four other players (four in total).
Replayability: Thanks to the rogue-lite card system, players will be able to enjoy each level multiple times, without ever going through the same session twice. This is also possible thanks to the dynamic Game Director that adjusts to player actions.
