The weekend is about to begin and what better way to celebrate than by getting stuck into a 2019 hit that has made a triumphant return? Now available to play for absolutely free, Steam users are in for a treat with this "fast-paced, team-based action strategy game" with a 'Very Positive' rating. The game in question is none other than Killer Queen Black by Liquid Bit. In this arcade arena game, two teams will go head-to-head by coordinating with their queen and working to outmaneuver the enemy. By riding snails, collecting berries, and fighting for militant dominance, one team will come out on top. "Killer Queen Black is an intense team-based action strategy game where coordination, speed, and split-second decisions decide every match," the official synopsis reads. "Two teams face off in chaotic arcade arenas, each led by a powerful Queen and supported by Workers who can shift between gathering, riding the snail, or transforming into warriors." To win, you will need to take part in various objectives: fill your hive with berries for an economic win, ride your snail across the finish line for an objective win, or eliminate the enemy Queen three times for a military win. With no two matches being the same, your roles will constantly shift as strategies collide, and you battle your way to the top. "Easy to understand but difficult to master, Killer Queen Black rewards communication, adaptation, and teamwork. Whether you are leading from the front as the Queen, quietly pushing the snail, or making a clutch berry run under pressure, every player has a role that can turn the tide." Featuring fast-paced 4v4 team battles, the ability to play as the Queen or workers, arcade-inspired action, online multiplayer and local play support, multiple maps with unique layouts, and easy-to-learn competitive and strategic gameplay. First released back in 2019, Killer Queen Black is now back and this time, it is completely free to download and play. Not only that, but with a 'Very Positive' rating, this is not a freebie you want to miss out on. "If you played the cabinet version of Killer Queen, you already know this is an insanely fun and competitive eSport," one positive review reads. "Now it is available on PC. Matchmaking is great. Local and Online teams can be formed instantly. Definitely one to pick up!" Another said, "I like that this game is simple and yet has deeper strategy as well. I like the social/team-based aspect of the game. I like that the multiple roles make the game somewhat inclusive. I like the nostalgia factor of the game. I like that it reminds me of the kind of games I would play at summer camp as a kid." So, if you are in the mood for a free game this weekend, make sure to check out Killer Queen Black now.
