Killing Room is a flawed first person roguelike with a lot of heart. It's not for everyone, but fans of first-person roguelikes or general cheesy nonsense can do a lot worse than tuning in to this deadly reality show.

Killing Room's onscreen murderhouse makes for a challenging roguelike shooter, and its reality-TV slant injects the sadistic premise with a welcome touch of humour; even if it routinely finds itself punctured by irksome design details and patchy technical performance.
