No More Room in Hell 2

great game lots of support getting better with every update every month adding new content and fixing bugs

I was a huge NMRIH 1 fan and i really wish this game was like that but its just not which is really sad because i was so excited for this to come out when i first heard about it.

I HATE that you spawn far away from other players, in the original from what i remember you spawned altogether and got to work together to escape and in this game it feels like a free for all and a bit confusing to understand what has / needs to be done. This game is also really laggy and does not run smoothly at all. I wish i could say i recommend this game but with how it currently is, its just a mess.

All they needed to do with this game is to recreate No more room in hell 1 but with new maps and better graphics. I'm not sure why they are trying to change it when the original concept in my opinion was interesting and fun to play.

This game is NOT like it's original, but it will be a decent coop zombie game on it's own right in the future. I'd recommend it if you can snag it on sale.

Unlike other failed games the creators of no more room in hell 2 didnt just scrap the game, they are trying to revive it. The creators actually talk to their community on what was bad and what was good. When it first came out yeah the game was hella bad because of how buggy it was but since then they are fixing their mistakes and making the game better with more updates.

When it first came out : 2/10
Today : 8/10 (8 out of 10 because there isnt much else to do but im happy that they are putting more stuff in to make it more exciting)

Kinda Feels like a mix of Hunt Showdown 1896 & Left 4 Dead, Love the Perma-death system, More slower paced & with limited ammo you really have to watch yourself quite hardcore. Id like to see more side quests & some time delayed doors to slow down progression, Maybe some wondering zombie bosses in some areas that you try to avoid? Idk, Controller support would be cool, All in all this game has loads of potential & the early access is very polished.

In a Public Lobby on our first game
Met up with everyone on the map
Absolute boys night, cleared easily and had a blast

This game shows potential, but it falls short of being worth its $30 price tag in its current state. There are several issues that need to be addressed before it feels like a solid purchase. I managed to set up a controller, and while it worked fairly well, full native controller support would significantly improve the experience.

I'd definitely keep playing if either of these two things happened: 1) the game was cheaper to match its current state, or 2) the issues were resolved and it fully supported controllers. Lastly, the player base seems quite small, and most of the players I encountered were new, likely due to a recent update.

With these improvements, I think the game could be far more enjoyable and attract a larger audience. But for now, I would not recommend it.

Early access and has minimal bugs, fun, scary and devs are active in patches and updates for fixes and tons of new content. I would say purchase on sale but definitely a fun game to play with friends.

Load outs are cool although level requirements for the items are a bit high in my opinion

The selection for the items themselves are lacking weapon wise could’ve done with more melee and firearms in the loadouts perhaps a second pistol

I’ve noticed there’s a lot of main character syndrome going on too or groups that just absolutely speed run everything I spent my last whole match playing catch up to a group barely giving myself time to actually loot anything because they all seemed to rush it all no problem for me though I just grabbed supply’s and carried onward

The games come a fair way since its launch onto early access and back then it was a shitshow now I’m having fun with it combat seems a little more stable and I’m enjoying every match

If you’re on the fence about it wait till the April patch see what it offers and maybe give it a go as it’s the biggest one yet

If you really wanna play the game and a huge fan of the idea or the first game and wanna invest into the development I’d say now would be a good time to give it a go

I’m looking forward to the future of this game and hopefully the devs deem it popular enough eventually after 1.0 and bring it to consoles as I can see a lot of people enjoying this game if it carry’s on the direction it’s heading and gets more and more content

Normally I would step away and refund this game, but the devs have put a hell of a lot of work into turning it around. With continued effort this game can truly be a sequel to nmrih 1

Big NMRIH 1 fan here
and here is my opinion about NMRIH 2 i'll make it short

"Disappointing"

turned from legendary zombies game into cheap shoot and loot game
it's not even NMRIH anymore just some *Generic* zombies shooter game with NMRIH 2 title

Consistent updates despite the fan base. Updates that includes optimizations and game play. Overall this last update puts it where it shoulda been on launch. I'll give it a 6.5/10 currently.

I really like this game, I just don't play much cause talking to strangers make me nervous. If my friends get into it I'd play way more often ;w; does tickle that goblin portion of my brain that likes scavenging around looking for bits to pick up, and I haven't had nearly any issues barring some rare enemy rubber banding now and again.

Very fun fresh to play, sucks no one wants to see it through on the gamer end people need to stop hating on every game that comes out

game is going in the right direction i have never played nmrih the original i have watched alot of it though so i understand no.2 is not the same as no.1 but as a die hard zombie fan this game hits the hardcore apocalypse genre pretty good and with every update it is slowly improving keep up the good work.

I'm glad I gave this game another shot. The netcode or whatever was tanking the performance at launch seems to be greatly improved. Melee combat feels mostly good outside of an occasional stutter upon hit, which is my biggest complaint. Beyond that I find nmrih2 to be one of the most immersive and tense games I've ever played and horror games are my main

For starters the zombie sounds are the best in it's class by a mile. As opposed to your normal moans and groans these zombies sound frustrated and injured, adding an immense amount of realism and immersion. The graphics are pretty impressive and the art design really does it for me. There is lots of clever use of lighting that really set off the art and level design and the power plant looks really good in the distance

All around a great game despite what the angry mob of nmrih1 fans say. Also during mid March 2025 I've never waited more than 4 minutes for a game and most of the time it starts up in a minute or two. I could see where someone would wanna wait for a second map for it to be worth $25-30. Once the 2nd and 3rd map gets added I think $30 is a steal

Would be fun if it had players. If it had a solo mode that would allow others to join would be better. Update: It is fun, few bugs, but quite difficult if you dont have a good team. They certainly need more maps. Like lots. lol Sure the power plant map is tough but one can only handle the same map so much. They say they are working on more, well lets go. Bring em out.

I was honestly worried about the Mixed reviews this game, but took the risk. No I'm not a die hard fan from the first game and I'm fairly new to the PC realm. I will say this game has some issues, some UI glitches and other little things. I've seen people get stuck in cars and sometimes not landing hits on zombies even though you're point blank. Overall this game is in "Early Access" so this isn't even the full potential of what this game has to offer. (the Devs have already said they're working on a handful of stuff like Combat 2.0 and changing how infection works and starter classes with tokens) To me as a Zombies enthusiast whether it's Resident Evil or Dead Rising, L4D or even COD Zombies, This is what I was looking for. 8 Players bare bones starts and working yourself up to getting stronger and better as the game goes on. A Zombie Extractor Shooter. A game when taking on more then 3 zombies can be challenging in the right sense. I would recommend people try this game, it's not finished, don't expect too much as of now. but for what it has to offer, I'd recommend trying something like this. I've spent a lot of time Learning this game and would love for it to grow regardless it's not like its previous game. I think some people might be too harsh on titles like this and expect a perfect launch and instant fixes and success. somethings take time and this one will be one of those. I would go for the bat for this game and say it's one of if not my favorites at this point of time. 4 out of 5 stars for now. Until they add more content since after a few runs it's a bit repetitive, but I wont fault them for it. this game is new and needs room to grow.

Rough release but i have been a long fan of the nmrih series, seeing the launch broke my heart. But after 4 months i can confidently say that the game is taking shape into a worthy 2nd installment with better graphics. Better gameplay and most important of all, does not feel like a mod for a game.

Awesome game so far can't wait to see what it continues to bring, One complaint though with how often I get placed in a 1-4 man game I would appreciate something that would decrease zombie amount once down to last 2 survs or something feels kinda impossible spawning in solo.

Bought this due to how much I recently got into the first game. I don't dislike it because it's different from the first, its due to the lack of player base, and the ping/bug issues. Yes its early stages. but getting only one or two other people in your lobby especially during traffic times for any other game is defeating. Unless if you have two-ish hours to spare solo-ing the match only to die at the final objectives at Power Plant since you at least need three people to comfortably beat it is ruthless, not to mention loosing your character anyways. For the game itself, the atmosphere, the guns, objectives, progressing is all pretty ok. However, your stamina recharging, your hit registering with certain zombie types, how buggy some of your shots can be, its quite unbearble. The amount of times where everyone's ping is 100-110, and yet my stamina bar doesn't recharge or appear for up to 15 seconds causing me to get killed, my swing not counting to runner zombies and hitting me anyway, or dodges is just annoying. Its good so far, but not enough to go out of your way and purchase this like I did. I'd wait it out until more updates or more than 40 people online during the weekend.

I am a big fan of nmrih 1 i grew up with it due to it being free and a hidden gem on steam, and since the announcement i have been following the progress of nmirh2 since 2021, and might i say i don't know where it all went wrong, the trailers and teasers back then that really carried the core game with it is no where to be found, when TB took over i recall it being a great thing to do helping the team create the best game possible with new resources and the ability to work on the game fulltime which meant that the sequel was going to be better than what we saw in the 2021 trailers and it was far from that, i gave this "sequel" a shot and i understand that its early access but I've had enough of having to be delusional to believe that this game is even remotely close to being worth $30 let alone the NMRIH title, theres no cohesion to the first game at all the first game had soul and atmosphere, this title has little to none, the game is just not fun or even worth losing minutes in your lifetime playing it, its basically a running while doing tasks simulator within one version of the same map, if the game doesn't have major core changes i mean it sincerely there's no point in labeling it as a nmirh title. I'm disappointed in myself for purchasing immediately and for being delusional enough to keep playing past the 2 hour refund mark, nothing changed since the first playthrough the game just isn't it and i've accepted that now. Now i just mourn the $30 that i cant get back but at least the first game feels refreshing next to this "sequel" which is really the one good thing that came out of this disaster.

Great game and the Devs are working hard on it.

games still glitchy after all this time i have lost two characters because i get locked in text screens or trying to attach weapon attachments six thumbs down

I bought the game thinking I would be playing No More Room in Hell 2.

This is not No More Room in Hell 2. This is a very different game with the No More Room in Hell name pinned onto it.

If I wanted an extraction shooter zombie game, I would have bought one.

It is really a shame, though. I was excited for this game as I followed it during its development. It's just really crushing how the identity of NMRIH is completely lost in this sequel.

This game doesn't feel like NMRIH, and has nothing that I loved about the first game. I bought it despite the bad reviews, partially because I just enjoyed the first one so much I wanted to support. Now I'm finding out the original devs may not even be behind the second one, and honestly, it shows.

You need 8 people to play, yet you spawn pretty far away from any of them. Fighting feels nowhere near as smooth as the original. You have to walk a long distance to find supplies, and the graphics aren't even that much better than the original, subpar for a game coming out in 2025.

All they needed to do was take the original and upgrade the graphics, add some new maps, new zombie types, and some cool new features and mechanics (maybe objectives maps where you drive a vehicle, water mechanics, etc.) and the fans would have been happy. Instead we got this. Save your 30 bucks.

Bought this game despite mixed reviews. Its similar to the original. I enjoyed it although its in EA and has its jank. I would suggest this game... Yes I know. Its a good group game to play with friends and as any game if you wanna have fun dont follow a meta.

getting near cars sets off car alarms, ambulances have car alarms, clunky combat, zombies can hit you from 3 arms lengths, extraction doesn't even show up on the map, can't select things on the map without moving the the ingame screen, can't tag anything on the map, perma-death is a lame mechanic

Game launched like doo doo, as everyone knows.
Game is still doo doo, and small, incremental updates are not going to bring the players back.

I bought this game when it first came out and i gotta say: it was very bad.
But now after the patch 0.3 the game actually feels playable.
Zombies don't do the infinite lunge attack anymore and melee combat feels much much better, gun play is better than ever and the game feels very challenging, shame the game got released in that rough state, i hope the devs continue updating it.

all honesty i played the original back in the day and with this title yes the launch was horrible and i missed out on that and of the games i have been able to play considering the low population of servers it honestly has improved from launch the footage i've seen and all i wish to say is don't give up on this game yet they are releasing updates but i'm sure in the background the devs are dumping hours into fixing the code that originally bugged the title at launch so in my opinion don't give up yet this title has potential and it's slowly coming through

I want to like this game so badly, but I can't in good faith say you should buy it right now even after the 0.3 update. While the content of the game is getting much better, the networking is still god awful. when zombies can hit you from 6 feet away, teleport across rooms during lunge attacks, or zoom through broken melee animations, you know the quality of the networking and servers are bad. If you engage in any form of close quarters combat or melee combat in this game, there is a 75% chance the combat will be de-synced and messy to varying degrees of severity. Sometimes it's playable and you can put up with it- other times it makes the players give up and move on from your game. Please make networking and server stability the main priority for the love of god. Or else you might lose the rest of the player base.

Been playing the first game for a long time and not going to lie I was disappointed at first like most people but now the game has improved majorly and its becoming more of a worthwhile product, the atmosphere is bar none for zombie games, the leveling system is rewarding, the map is expansive and pushes a cool concept that I actually do not mind, people hate on this game because they wanted an upgraded version of the first game but I can see past that and see that this is game has a more grand picture. I just hope they don't abandon it and look past all of the hate that comes their way to strive to make this game the absolute best it can be.


Side note, it is amazing how many people will hate on you for liking games they don't :)

don't listen to the other reviews...


the game is fantastic and is an amazing co-op game and the atmosphere is crazy. the other reviews are quite critical of the game, its in early access sop it will be unfinished and have bugs. but ignore them, the game is so fun and i would really recommend getting it! the game has loads of potential in the future, i just hope people will start to like it.

This game is really good. I loved the first no more room in hell and this sequel captures many of the same feels. This game is getting better with each update. I highly recommend this game.

What can I say about No More Room In Hell 2. Buy this game. It is and will continue to be worth it.

The game has gone uphill, the hit detection, server load times (despite being low numbers in consecutive players), newly implemented gigs worth of corrections, game updates, new missions, difficulty mode, and weaponry updates.

With hardcore elements of perma-death with intense inventory and health management, fantastic player-base (many laughs from some folks), and with sphincter puckering moments that require focus and time management for risk vs. reward.

I can wholeheartedly say, buy this game.

actually not bad once you can get in a game, obviously needs more map and sdk, and soo on, is it worth 30 dollars no, maybe more like 10-15 at this point. game play loop is fun.

This game is actually quite good, much better than the reviews would have you think. It absolutely has some jank to it, but nothing out of the ordinary for early access. It seems like it was much worse at launch, but they are steadily updating this game, and I really hope they continue to because it is a lot of fun!

My biggest concern going into it was hit detection, but it is actually quite good now. I'm rooting for this game to succeed because I think it has a lot of potential. It has that indescribable X factor that makes a great game, it just needs to get into a better technical state and add more content, which they are actively doing.

I wanted to post this because I think a lot of people might pass this up after seeing the current reviews, but I want to make it known that this game is absolutely playable in its current state, and I think you should pick it up if you're interested. I think the review scores don't paint the full picture in this case. There are absolutely valid criticisms to made, but I also think it's amplified by fans of the original down voting it (which isn't completely unfair, but I also don't think it's entirely justified).

Best of luck to the dev team!

Updates coming out fairly often, now that the launch issues are mostly gone, game is fun and is just missing some features and content.

this is by far a good game but its also not a bad game. you can see what the devs want to do, it was just a really bad launch so people with less then an hour of playtime are going to leave a bad review. the game is better then when it came out, its still buggy and the zombies movement can be janky at times, but i still enjoy playing with a buddy. i don't think its ever going to not be buggy....at least for a year or 2. they are releasing updates every month trying to address issues and listen to the player base. still positive in my books

I loved the first game but this....this is absolute dog shit.
Once things are fixed I will gladly change this to a thumbs up.

Tried over a few days to start it but Easy Anti Cheat always says game security violation detected. Thank God that there are refunds...

NMRIH 2: Contact imminent, out.

As much as I didn't want to admit that I saw this coming, I always did. NMRIH is still, bar none, one of the best zombie games ever put on the Steam platform. Sure, that's my nostalgia glasses being spot welded to my face, but there's still people willing to defend it even to this day and I am one of them. And even I'm not a diehard for a F2P HL2 mod. There's issues that, still in my opinion, necessitated a new game. The shoddy hit detection of weapons, the variations of oddball glitches courtesy of running on the Source 1 engine, there's only so much you can do on a 20 year old foundation. And so the trailers dropped, and a vague feeling of hype built up.

And then I played it and spent the first hour enjoying a complete rubberbanding netcode that had me dead in five minutes.

Torn Banner, you scoundrels, you did it again!

NMRIH 2 is infuriating in a way I haven't felt in a while, because it's a game that at its roots, works. And I know it's sacrilege to say so, given how different this game feels at first to the original. But the core of this game works. The improved combat is much more solid than the previous game, and especially now that all melee weapons are more effective so you're not spending 3 minutes pummeling a zombie to death with a pipe. The weapons are punchy but still feel as ploddingly slow as the original. The inventory system is an improvement, versus just accidentally making yourself overweight and getting mauled to death. And I dare say I do like the one map, and the overall idea of the game. Playing as a bunch of survivors trying to operate "behind the lines" and prevent complete collapses of the power grid in the wonderful world of Berks County, Pennsylvania. It all works well, and heresy as it may be, I think it makes it a worthy successor to the original game on actual improvements.

There are just two MASSIVE issues that kneecap any and all fun.

For one, this game runs like hot burning garbage. My computer isn't exactly the springiest of chickens, but this game struggles to eke above 20 FPS and that's after a lot of updates. On launch, this game ran like a dumpster fire. Skill issue? Hey maybe, but it was shared by my friends at the same time. The optimization for this game is absolutely wack, and it makes all of those flowery copes about the gameplay pretty hollow. Sure the melee is improved, but unfortunately someone blew up a pipebomb and my frames just dropped to 5 so I'm dead either way. To say nothing of the actual server netcode that runs at the pace of a steamroller, with a match taking anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes to connect only to DC. Again, skill issue? Hardware problem? Possibly, still shit either way.

Second issue, and this is a hypothetical on my part, but the level itself. While the original NMRIH can be argued to be an extraction shooter, the level lengths for something like Toxteth, Broadway or so on is a LOT longer than the current one. This, in my eyes, helped make the levels actually more fun, the long haul marches for survival and giving you more of a chance to fuck up or eke out a win against the odds. The new map can be completed in half an hour, if that, and the roadbumps in your way feel a lot cheaper in comparison. True, it's the first level ever made, and true, that might change with the to-be-released Pottstown level, but that doesn't really solve the root issues here. The loop for the game is too quick to allow the kind of fun you'd want from a NMRIH game, and just makes it feel more generic. Even with the improvements, it holds it back by that proxy.

NMRIH 2 is a game that feels chained up, just short of being what it wants to be by nothing else but the development cycle. The actual gameplay improvements are exactly what you'd want from an improved NMRIH, held back entirely by a constantly rubberbanding netcode that makes your one hit kills miss anyway. The map and graphic improvements are leagues beyond flat Source engine lighting and are making the computer catch fire as a result. And while the extraction shooter gameplay isn't all that different from the original's extraction missions, the constant failures to connect and a shorter level layout make it feel cheaper as a result. This isn't some cheap cash grab on a beloved indie IP, there's the framework of an actually great sequel here. The issue is that Torn Banner's sent the game a lil' too raw out of the oven, for a reason I cannot fathom, but some datamining on the company emails will provide.

What worries me is that this is Torn Banner. They've already allowed one game to rot to pick up the pieces of NMRIH 2 and kick it out of the door, and now they have two games barreling towards full on abandonment, due to nothing but their own genius move to try and keep two early access games going at one time, versus finishing one and THEN the other. The potential for this game to die isn't entirely high, but it's there. In the same equal measure of TB getting their shit together, fixing the netcode, making the game better optimized and putting in the right level of improvements and new maps to make the gameplay loop feel better. And hell, maybe do the needful and ADDING A SERVER BROWSER INSTEAD OF A FUCKING QUICK MATCH SYSTEM. That'd SOLVE THE MATCHMAKING PROBLEM WOULDNT IT.

Rant aside, there's a potential for this game to turn around and be fantastic. It wouldn't be the Steam early access world without that potential being present. But for every The Forest, we've had a 7 Days to Die. We've already seen PAYDAY 3 go down in flames, why not get a two for one combo. This game is now on the timer to see if it's able to actually salvage itself, or be the Blood 2 to the Blood 1 that was the original mod. I have my hopes, but I also have my humility.

I truly like playing this game and hope the devs keep working on it and make it like a no mans sky story. there are some things i dont like that i wish they would look at. when doing a side area before the main objective you can get supplies by doing a mini puzzle that rather easy<-- (this i like, keeps it fast and simple) what i would like is in these sub areas for loot i wish if you cleared a area out without guns and used only melee, you were rewarded with little to no zombie activity, it creates this stressful loop of quickly shoot everything, do the puzzle asap, stop, shoot the 3 to 4 that spawned super close by and go back to the puzzle.<--- (not a fan) There some stability glitches but then again what games doesn't have them anymore. while everything seems negative I do enjoy the game, just looking for some lovely quality of live changes

I played the first one and this game is great too. A couple bugs here and there yeah but the game literally says early access when you log in, I cant cry about that. For 30 bucks (wtf is a kilometer) I'd say it's well worth it. At its state now I give it a 7/10. Easily a 10/10 game in time.

At its core, the gameplay is solid and its a lot of fun. Yes, there are bugs. Yes, some of these bugs are weird and they may even kill you or cause certain item usage issues to arise. Yes, right now there's only 1 map that only rotates difficulty and player spawns. Its Early Access though and I bought this with that fully in mind and I still think its an absolute blast. Proximity chat (in any game really) makes things both hilarious and epic while encouraging cooperation. Coordinating with teammates makes objectives and loot gathering way easier, There is a small player base now which means longer Queue times (my longest wait time is like 2-3 minutes during peak hours.) but all the players I've spoken to so far are helpful, will rush to save you if you need it, and are generally good sports which makes working together that much more fun. Skills for your character make each match easier to tackle, the more your character extracts alive, the more badass they become, the more likely they will extract again. I like the permadeath as it gives you some type of stake in staying alive. Its all work-in-progress but its pretty interesting to me as a new player to the series. If you think you'd like this game, give it shot. I did and I do not regret it a bit.

You don't know how disappointed I am as a prequel lover
Was expecting devs to add more things and polish the game
And no, somehow it feels WORSE than launched
There goes my 10 years of waiting

I tried to sludge through this game at launch. 8 friends and I sludge through it despite its broken mess.

Now? It's dead, and the mess is still there. I mean, if the devs can magically fix the main issues (Hit detection and connection issues) then I don't see this becoming a full game.

Also they abandoned Chiv 2 for this so.. Yeah remember, always be aware of who is developing a game and see their track record.

been a fan of NMRIH for over a decade; despite the glaringly obvious issues of an early access title released in such an unfinished state, I don't personally hold any grievances with No More Room In Hell 2's core concept and gameplay. When everything is running as it should, things are tight and intense, the atmosphere is stellar, the world is beautiful yet haunting, there are a million tiny details jammed into every corner and crevice that scream a clear and concise vision echoing NMRIH past. I've seen a lot of people say a lot of really bad things about this game. Janky, unbalanced, a bit buggy? Absolutely. The game runs like ass no matter what I do with its settings. But those are problems I signed up to deal with when I bought into an EA game, and when weighing the negatives versus the positives I find myself still re-experiencing that same spark of terror and excitement I did so many years ago. I can't say I LOVE No More Room In Hell 2; But I really, really like it, and given enough time and care I hope more people can change their tunes

A total disappointment. Have been playing the first game since 2015, had followed the sequel’s development for years before its release. They abandoned the soul of the first game for nothing, It doesn't even measure up with it's 14 year old predecessor. It's nearly 4 months after release and instead of fixing core gameplay issues, they are focusing on changes like making running use stamina and renaming ammunition types, thinking it's progress (meanwhile shots are still not being delivered consistently, zombies are meleeing you 8 METERS away, hitting or pushing zombies don't cancel their animations). Wish this game never existed. It's nothing but a spit in the face of the legacy of No More Room in Hell.
