How it feels

A heavy, grim sci-fi shooter where you grind through brutal warfare with distinct soldiers, each fight feeling deliberate and punishing rather than fast or flashy.

About

Killzone is a sci-fi-themed first-person shooter. The game's stand-out feature is the ability to control any of the four different protagonists, each with his or her own strengths and weaknesses. Up to sixteen players could compete in the online multiplayer portion, which includes eight maps and six modes: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Assault, Defend and Destroy, Supply Drop, and Domination. The online servers of the game have now been closed down.
