As a Klown in Killer Klowns From Outer Space, your goal in the game, just like in the 1988 film of the same name, is to bring about the Klownpocalypse in Crescent Cove. However, you have two ways at your disposal to do so. You can either put humans into cocoons, or outright kill them. Understanding which action is best and when to perform these actions at the right time can take time and effort. Each action has pros and cons, which dictate when you should perform each one. Here's how to know whether you should cocoon or kill humans in Killer Klowns From Outer Space, and what happens after you do so.
Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game Review
Hardcore fans of the movie will get a kick out of Killer Klowns from Outer Space, but others will be less impressed.
Should You Cocoon or Kill Humans in Killer Klowns From Outer Space?
When playing Killer Klowns From Outer Space, you should base your decision to either cocoon or kill humans on your goals for the match. To gain many experience points and level up, you should cocoon humans. However, if you aim to end the match quickly, you should kill them to remove them from the game immediately. The advantages and disadvantages of both choices in are explained in detail below.
Should You Cocoon Humans?
As mentioned above, you will earn many experience points by putting humans into cocoons using your cotton candy guns. Once they're inside, you can earn more XP by hooking them onto a Lackey Generator. Finally, you'll earn additional points whenever a Lackey Generator spawns a Lackey. You can also lower the time it takes for your abilities to become active for every Human hooked on a Lackey Generator, giving your whole team an advantage earlier in the match.
However, Humans have various ways of getting out of cocoons. This can lead to some interesting situations where they escape and can continue to complete their objectives. A human can escape from a cocoon while inside it, or another can unhook them from a Lackey generator. If a human escapes while you are carrying it, then you will be stunned, which allows them to attack you or run away.
Should You Kill Humans?
You won't earn nearly as many experience points by killing Humans in Killer Klowns From Outer Space, but the primary benefit is removing them from the game entirely. Removing them will lower the number of humans completing objectives and trying to escape from various Crescent Cove maps. If you find a squad of Humans attacking you or the other Klowns and just being general nuisances, killing them is the best option.
However, you will lose out on earning lots of experience points, spawning Lackeys, and bringing about the Klownpocalypse sooner, since that requires you to harvest humans. What's more, Humans can use the resurrection machine once per match to bring back all dead humans, regardless of how they died. You must plan how you deal with them appropriately depending on whether the human players have used the machine to return their fallen brethren to a match in Killer Klowns From Outer Space.
