It’s tough to argue with fast, intense, weapons-heavy browser games, especially when they’re free! Raze 2 is exactly the kind of game you want to play when you’re in the mood to do some serious armed combat.
The year is 2117, and less than a decade ago, aliens invaded Earth. A group of soldiers was trained and dispatched to take care of the threat, and after four years of combat, victory was theirs. However, a zombie virus created during the war is still loose, and it’s in your blood! On top of that, the aliens have suddenly re-appeared. It looks like there won’t be any shortage of fighting in the days to come, which is a good thing for us, since we’re just starting the game!
Raze 2 plays out through a series of campaigns that act as small arenas where enemies constantly spawn and attack. Along with your team mates, you must gather items that appear, including ammo, shields, health, and weapons, and fend off the hordes one by one. After kicking some alien/zombie butt, you get to visit the game’s upgrades shop where you can purchase dozens of weapons as well as handfuls of ability/stat upgrades. The customization possibilities are vast, and you’ll be spending quite a lot of time trying out new weapons and tweaking your load out.
There’s very little not to like about Raze 2, as the game mechanics and upgrades system are almost perfectly tuned. The visuals can be small and unclear at times, especially when you’re trying to determine which kind of weapon appeared in front of you. In the end, though, it’s not about tiny sprites on the screen, it’s about your skills in combat and your ability to wield and manage weapons. Mastery only comes after hours of practice, and Raze 2 gives you plenty to do during that time!
If you have even the smallest interest in a free combat game, Raze 2 should be on your radar. It’s deep enough to savor for days and weeks on end, but you can pick it up and play without much trouble!
