Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Gameis a new asymmetrical multiplayer horror game based off the cult classic movie of the same name from the 80s. In this game, you get to play as either a Human trying to escape the Klownpocalypse, or a Klown hunting and harvesting the Humans.
Whether you’re new to asymmetrical multiplayer games or are a veteran, it can’t hurt to have a few beginner tips to get you started. We’ve got you covered with a few suggestions to help you navigate the game before hitting that Matchmake button for the first time.
Matchmaking Is Random
When you’re ready to begin a live match of Killer Klowns, select the first option in the menu:Matchmake. You’ll be able toselect your preferenceof playing as a Klown or Human, and the matchmaking system will do its best togive you your preferred choice.
We recommend becomingas familiar as possiblewith how to play either side. Matchmaking is still random and depending on lobby sizes,you might get put on a team that is not your preference.
Additionally, playing the opposing side of your choice willgive you a more rounded map awarenessand help improve your overall gameplay.
Learn The Maps
Speaking of map awareness, whether you’re playing as a Klown or a Human, it’s a good idea tobecome familiar with the different mapsas soon as possible.
There are currently five maps available, allcentered around the town of Crescent Cove:
As a Human, becoming familiar with the maps can help youkeep a low profile and hidefrom the Klowns. As a Klown, knowing the maps ensures you knowwhere to look for any humanshiding and trying to sneak around.
The locations of the escape points willchange each time you load into a match, but the more familiar you are with each map, you’ll have abetter idea of where they are, whether you’re a Human or a Klown.
Utilize Voice Chat
Communication is key whether you’re a Klown or a Human, so we highly recommendenabling voice chat in your game. During the pre-game matchmaking lobby, you’ll be able to chat with all players, including those of the opposing team.
During the match, however,voice chat is based on proximity, so you’re able to only chat with those who are close to you. Be careful when discussing your plans, though, because if someone from the opposing team is nearby, they willbe able to overhear and learnwhat you are about to do.
Customize Your Loadout
In the main menu,scroll down to Customize, andyou can change your loadout for Klown and Human. Early on in the game you may only have a few options for characters and cosmetics,but the more you play and level up, you’ll eventually unlock the others.
You will not be able to change your loadout once matchmaking begins, so ensure you have what you want or need before loading in. When you begin unlocking other characters and cosmetics, you will need to leave matchmaking to make any changes.
What Is Klownpocalypse?
The Klown invasion has already begun, and the Humans in each match are the last remaining Humans alive. The match timer at the top of the screen is counting down to when the Lackey Generators ultimately detonate,triggering a massive blast city-wide that will kill all Humans.This is Klownpocalypse.
Klownpocalypse is inevitable, and could also get triggered early by the Klowns. The Humans' only options are toescape the city, or die trying.
Learn How To Play As A Human
Playing as a Human is mostly about being quiet and stealthy. The more noise you make, themore likely you are to attract a Klown’s attention.
At the start of every match, your main goal is to keep a low profile, loot everything, andfind a way to escape.
Learn How To Play As A Klown
When you play as a Klown, there is no way to do so quietly. But that’s okay,because you don’t need to be quiet or sneaky!
Your job is to work with your fellow Klowns and kill the last remaining Humans before they can escape. Alternatively, you can also hook up the candy-cotton cocoons to all the Lacky Generators totrigger the Klownpocalypse early.
