About Codename CURE II

✦ AI summary

Codename CURE II is a free-to-play cooperative first-person shooter where you lead a squad of up to five soldiers against hordes of zombies across procedurally generated maps with dynamic objectives. Choose from five distinct classes, scavenge for resources, customize your gear, and experience visceral combat with a reactive gore system that makes every kill satisfying.

“Stand to attention soldiers! We are looking a harsh new reality right down the barrel - the world is a post apocalyptic nightmare, all that’s left of humanity is pockets of survivors and organised military bases like ourselves. We prepared for this situation, the necessary equipment and resources were stockpiled long ago, knowing it was only a matter of 'when' and not 'if'. But we have a plan, an ambitious plan to wipe this zombie scourge from the face of the planet.

The enemy are no longer human, they are no longer your parents, siblings or friends, they are an organism of pure evil that seeks only to spread, mutate and destroy - its foul stench must be eliminated at any cost! We are looking for five volunteers to execute this plan - five soldiers to step up for what is almost certainly a suicide mission; which of you have the bravery and skills to get out there and meet this challenge face to ugly rotting face?" 

- General Johnson, CURE HQ.

✦ AI summary

Codename CURE II is a free sequel that draws mixed reactions from players, with some appreciating its core gameplay loop of special forces versus zombies and finding the shooting mechanics satisfying, while others feel it falls short of the original game in technical execution, visual polish, and pacing due to changes like the new scrap mechanic and operator-locking system. Common complaints center on dated graphics, cluttered UI, and reduced impact compared to the predecessor, though the game's active development and competent AI teammates earn it some goodwill.

I really wanted to like this game because I was a huge fan of the og codename: cure back in the day, and while i can see that a lot of effort has been put into this sequel, i think it really just doesn't live up to the legacy; although there are moments when you can feel the same tension as in the first game, generally this new one just doesn't live up - the engine runs way worse than the source engine, the gun sounds are all way less impactful, the animations and lighting are just not nearly as good, the new scrap mechanic completely derails the pacing. I want to like it but it just doesn't quite capture the feel of the original game and it's not terribly enjoyable to play even as its own experience.

I would like to recommend this game to everyone. But after the release of the recent major update, it seems like it was out of my expectation, from what the "Codename CURE" suppose to be. At first, when the developers is releasing this game, I was so hyped that I really wanted to grind on this like for like an hours, like I used to do, during the 1st codename cure that has been release almost a decade ago. But after a while, they "locked" the system, which every player MUST use only 1 operator for each class before playing this game. By that means, every 5 player in the lobby are no longer able to choose any kind of operator that they want. Which means, all operator must be included inside the game, unlike the previous game, you can choose anyone you want to play in this game. For example, if 3 people wants to become a Pointman, all of them are able to become as a Pointman. But in Codename CURE 2, if a person already become a Pointman and the other also wants to, the game will automatically putting them into a random operator that has not been choose yet. BUT THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM HERE THE MAIN PROBLEM HERE IS WHEN THEY CHANGED THE TRADITIONAL SURVIVAL MODE SYSTEM. Which means, t…

Gave it a fair shot, but this is straight slop. Looks like it was AI generated in collaboration with Paint.exe

Bad news first, common enemies share the same animations, visuals are very Vaseline smeared, and the menu UI is somewhat cluttered and hard to look at. Well, everything is kinda hard to look at. Good news, it's free. It still carries the Codename Cure spirit. Movement feels floaty but I kinda like it. Shooting feels good because the gibs and gore is so satisfying. Nothing state of the art but good enough to keep you engaged. I hope this game receives more updates. Steam workshop would be dope!

Unexpected sequel, and better in every way. The core team making this is small, and this definitely is worth it for free. In fact that's pretty much a steal. For those not familiar: You, special forces team, vs zombies. Most maps are get in, plant bomb, escape within time limits. Others are wave survival until you win. Different roles with different specialisations and weapons, customisation options for operatives and weapons, and so on. Maps get remixed a bit every time so replayability is high. Needs more players for sure, but your bot teammtes are hyper-competent and will carry you through lower difficulties if needed. Some things here and there look a li'l rough but the game is very functional and at time of writing still in active development. Try it.
