Wave-based co-op against slow, heavy specimens, built around a between-round shop and perks that level by playstyle rather than by menu. Weapon feedback is meaty. It shows its origins as a mod — level design is functional rather than crafted, and later waves come down to holding one corridor while a friend welds the door behind you.

The AI Director is the whole design: it places hordes and items based on how well you are doing, so no two runs of a campaign play the same and tension stays authored without being scripted. Four campaigns only, which is thin, and the sequel superseded it so completely that finding populated servers now takes patience.

Where it drifts furthest from La Quimera: setting.

✓ Both are first-person shooters — sharing shooter, first-person shooting and dark, oppressive atmosphere

≠ Its own twist: third-person shooting, adventure storytelling and survival mechanics, while skipping strong narrative focus

A co-op horde shooter whose swarm tech is the draw: hundreds of zombies climb over each other into structures, and the class system rewards coordinating rather than scattering. Levels are short and replayable. The shooting itself is functional but unremarkable, and the campaign chapters are thin connective tissue between the set-piece swarm moments.

To survive is the main task in the game Rust. It is necessary to survive in the area, which is now wholly wild but was recently inhabited. At the beginning of the game, there is only a rock and a torch. The rest will have to be found or stolen.
