About this game

John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando is a co-op shooter that leans hard into 80s creature-feature schlock, the kind of movie logic where a science experiment goes wrong and the only sensible response is to hand a bunch of mercenaries some guns and a katana. The Blood Edition bundles the base game with the Bloody Season Pass and its Cosmetic Pack, so you’re getting the whole ride plus the extra content drip in one purchase. The hook here is straightforward: a buried horror wakes up, turns the countryside into a rotting mess of undead things, and it’s on you and your squad to put it back where it came from.

How it plays

You pick a class built around a particular playstyle, hop into vehicles to get around the ruined landscape, and work through waves of monsters with your team. Combat mixes firearms, grenades, and class abilities, with melee weapons like katanas thrown in for when things get up close. It’s built around squad play rather than solo runs, so you’re leaning on teammates to cover different roles as the fights escalate. Saber Interactive has a track record with horde-based shooters, and the loop here reads like a natural extension of that: gear up, push into infested territory, unlock new abilities, and take on tougher variations of the same threat as you go. Worth noting that it requires a persistent internet connection to play, so this isn’t something you queue up for offline sessions.

Who it’s for

If you grew up on practical-effects horror movies and want that tone translated into a shooter, this is clearly aimed at you. It’s also a good fit if you’ve got a regular co-op crew and you’re looking for something with a sense of humor rather than grim self-seriousness. The vehicle sections and class variety suggest there’s room to find a role that suits how you like to play. If you’re mostly a solo player, or you’re not interested in games that ask for a live connection every time you boot up, this one is going to feel like the wrong shape for you. Same goes if horde shooters in general have worn thin for you: the setting is fresh, but the underlying loop is a familiar one.

Is it worth it?

For fans of co-op horde shooters with a horror-comedy streak, this looks like a solid pickup, especially in the Blood Edition since it folds in the season pass and cosmetics instead of leaving you to buy them piecemeal later. The value really depends on having friends to play it with, since that’s clearly the intended experience. Games built around squad-based, replayable combat tend to age well on sale lists because the core loop doesn’t go stale the way a short single-player campaign might, so if the tone and setting appeal to you, it’s the kind of title worth grabbing when the price drops rather than paying full freight on day one.
