Killing Floor 3 is a FPS horror survival type of game but with the zombie apocalypse setting. It is an incredibly violent game, with blood splatter and grotesque bioengineered creatures the “Zeds”.

You can play this game single or in a multiplayer mode.
Story and Setting
Story and Setting
The setting for Killing Floor 3 is the year 2091 the world has become a horrific nightmare. The Horzine Corporation, a rogue security weapons manufacturer identical to Killing Floor's universe where they try to develop bio-weapons in an underground facility in Paris and cucumbers are a mass-produced parody of Apple products.
Horzine Biotech is a British research and development facility which caused the Zed outbreak. Horzine's CEO, Kevin Clamely, was the head of an underground British government scheme to create the "super soldier". Eventually Dr. Clamely changed the direction of this research to clone his late son which resulted in the first Clone Lööt (Clot). When he could not revive his son, he next tried to adapt his latest creations into the super soldiers that was his current project.
From Horzine's underground facility near London, to the waves of Zeds devastating out in the open in a beautiful Italian courtyard from Hell. Of peculiar interest is a secret biological camouflage facility in the confines of Wyre Forest, near Wales, where Stalker was constructed. Though the females for Stalker specimens is unknown, it's hinted that they are modeled after Kevin Clamely's daughter; Rachel.
Whether Dr Hans Volter will also be involved in this is currently unclear. It would explain the state of art lab at Volter Manor but its research indicates that there has been a long lasting, perhaps even decades old relationship between the two. The Zed specimens were originally held at the Horzine facility, which was not as secure like it should have been. But one tragic day, these Zeds shoved aside their submissions and began to suddenly roam the world attacking anything living. This "clone a dead son" and "make a super soldier" advancement resulted in such pain, suffering and disaster that there was only one response from the whole of humanity: Fear us.
Because Horzine was governmentally operated, the government would not act against them. Caught in a desperate situation, one rebel cadre "Nightfall" chose defiance and turns the tables on the government by taking on Horzine.
