Only the eponymous Strange Brigade, a team tasked with defending Britain from supernatural threats, can stop Seteki and save the world. In 1930, an unscrupulous archaeologist has unleashed Seteki, an ancient and evil Egyptian queen, from the tomb that had imprisoned her. The premise of Strange Brigade involves an archaeological expedition gone wrong. Now that Strange Brigade is finally available on Nintendo Switch, it’s time for a co-op review.
This one combines the studio’s signature third-person cooperative shooting with ample amounts of 1930s adventure film-inspired derring-do and quippy humor that gives it a feel all its own.
Back in 2018, Rebellion released a sleeper hit known as Strange Brigade. Rebellion is best known for its Sniper Elite and Zombie Army series of third-person shooters, and yet, those aren’t the only shooters up the UK-based developer’s sleeve.
