The Best of Humble: Fight 4 Your Friends game bundle brings multiplayer madness

It's a weird bundle.
Looking at SteamCharts... they're all more or less dead, pardon the pun on these predominantly zombie games.

The Anacruis is effectively dead, zero playerbase, a whopping 5 Steam forum posts in 2026.

Back 4 Blood is practically dead, averaging ~1k players and it has never been much better since the initial 2 months after release saw nearly all players abandon it. They are still trying to scam you for 60€ for this 2021 flop! A subpar clone of Left 4 Dead 2, get that instead and be much better off.

Zombie Army 4, a few hundred players. Dead.

Vermintide 2, ~2k players average. At least some people still play, there was a massive spike in November which faded fast back down to that 2k again. They did fix EAC about a year ago so we can play it now, check GOL anticheat information for making it work on Linux!

Zombie Army Trilogy, a few dozen players. Dead.

Killing Floor 2 is a classic with a stable 3k+ recurring players average, likely your best bet of the bunch. A well loved title with an active community and tons of Steam Workshop mods. Just happens to be on 90% sale on Steam currently, Digital Deluxe edition for less than 4€ or the Ultimate edition with tons of skins for 10€.

Honest opinion, get KF2 on Steam and leave the rest behind. Of course supporting Humbles charity work is a good choice in itself so there's that. Using the links in the article helps support GOL so either way, kudos.

Agree with Dpanter's comment, but that said, you can pay as little as £9 and still get all six games, so if you have a cohort of in-real-life pals that you can use to play these titles, it's still a steal. But if you're expecting lobbies to fill your team out as you play... buyer beware.

Also, there are probably better co-op games generally - Dpanter's favourite is Deep Rock Galactic (hmmm, or is it Dying Light??) while my tastes are more geared towards traditional roguelites: Deadzone Rogue, Abyssus, Gunfire Reborn, and Jump Space, for example.

Or there's Orcs Must Die: Deathtrap, Remnant 2, Returnal, or Warhammer 40K: Darktide. Or if you fancy some top-down action RPGs, there Ravenswatch, Shape of Dreams, Emberknights, or of course Path of Exile 1/2.

Can't believe it's nearly three years since I wrote this - I need to do an update!

Or, you know, there's always Helldivers 2.

Be careful with HB : there are several ways you could lose your keys if you don't use them right away: the keys have an expiration date, and they can go out of stock overnight. It also appears that HB transfers keys from Steam to the Epic Store without warning anyone.

There's nothing shady about it, HB makes it quite clear imo. Game devs simply don't want the keys to end up on reseller sites.

I bought the game on Steam, not a key for the Epic Store, and no, this information wasn't mentioned anywhere, only the expiration date, which wasn't a thing before and it's also crazy : I bought a game and it "expires". And your [key can suddenly become "out of stock" overnight](https://www.reddit.com/r/humblebundles/comments/1da5l2h/the_situation_with_the_keys_out_of_stock_is/). That isn't mentioned anywhere.

That's not the case on Fanatical. So this is an issue specific to HB, not the developers. They also [changed the rules in 2024](https://twistedvoxel.com/humble-bundle-unused-unclaimed-game-codes-will-expire-after-3-years/), but games bought before this date [may also expire](https://consumerrights.wiki/w/Humble_Bundle_alters_terms_of_sale).

HB isn't at all what it used to be.
