Gameplay
For those who are curious about the gameplay of Killer Klowns from Outer Space, the concept is very similar to Dead by Daylight and Evil Dead: The Game as ten players will be assigned to a 3v7 match with 3 players playing as menacing clowns, and the other 7 as civilians of Crescent Cove. Each party will have predetermined roles to play in the match, as a Klown, you’ll have to kidnap as many people as possible and take them to the spaceship, as for civilians, you have to get away from Crescent Cove as far as possible and escape, sabotage the spaceship and keeping the number of survivors as much as possible.
To add more variety, clowns will have different classes that warrant different playstyles such as Chubby the Tank, Rudy the Trapster, Jumbo the Scout, Spikey the Tracker, and Shorty the Fighter. The civilian classes are just how you’d expect from a classic horror movie such as Punk, Biker, Cop, Teen, and Redneck.
