If you enjoy the Left 4 Dead, you will enjoy this. Inspiration is obvious - a team of four survivors against hordes of monsters. Skaven Clan Rats play the role of the common undead, appearing in hordes, while the Rat Ogres are equivalents of Tanks. Yet at the same time, differences are more than obvious - and exceedingly fun. Fact that ranged weapons are predominantly single-shot means that there is much more focus on the melee. In fact, it is not unusual for most of the kills to be done with melee weapons, a stark contrast to Left 4 Dead where melee served only as utility. This focus on melee helps reinforce - and is reinforced by - the claustrophobic feeling created by the narrow streets of the European medieval town and very dark atmosphere - the game takes place at night. Enemies may lurk around every corner, and there is no convenient assault rifle to spray them all with lead. All of this means that the game is very skill-intensive, in ways that a beginner player like me is only starting to appreciate. Overall, I definitely recommend playing it if you are a fan of Warhammer Fantasy specifically or fantasy genre more generally. If you are not, Left 4 Dead may be a better choice.

A more well thought out game than the second one with strategic enemy placement and level design. The action is good and the difficulty is just perfect on Cataclysm since it requires teamwork and excellent communication. A wonderful game! Kerillian obviously is love, she is life and the best part of Vermintide <3

I've played this on both 360 and PS4 before, so when it went on sale it was a no brainer. Once I got to playing again I remembered why I put so many hours into it. The game runs well, even on an older machine like mine. Graphics are sharp as a tack. Character models, weapons, enemies, levels, everything looks great! Most of it is based on actual models or artwork from GW so a lot of it looks very familiar. Get into combat and blood, heads and limbs fly everywhere! Skaven being chopped down in droves, warpstone bullets zooming about, It looks amazing! Sound is great as well. The characters chat and bicker with each other. Even though thy're AI (If you're playing without friends) they feel so much like a real party. A group of unlikely comrades forced to work together for the survival of both themselves and the world at large. Voice acting is spot on. Each player hero is steeped in character and has loads of spoken lines, a lot of which change depending on the character they're addressing. Weapon impacts sound solid and painful. Gunshots and Skaven squeaks all adding another load of immersion. The level up system is different and probably puts new players off when they find that killing Skaven actually does nothing. They are simply an obstacle to be removed. They don't provide EXP. You only get EXP when you complete a level which also nets you some loot, the rarity of which can be enhanced by upping the difficulty and grabbing collectables in game. You get new weapons and accessories but your actual character does not improve. Basically, you need to get good. I mentioned the levels, of which there are many. Each has its own charm and feel and sometimes come with additional objectives. This doesn't happen much at first but the later levels will be asking you to throw explosive barrels at pillars or carrying sacks of grain to a point on the level while under near constant attack. This level variation is a good thing in theory. Unfortunately it also leads to the biggest issue I have with the game. The AI. It sucks. Big style. This is a team game like Left for Dead. You can play with up to 3 friends, which I assume is how the game was meant to be played, or if you don't have enough players to fill your party of four, the rest will be played by bots. As a team based game you need to work together, covering each others backs and helping with objectives. On early levels where you're just running around trying to get to the end it's not a problem. The bots will sort of follow you and will defend themselves when attacked. They also heal and sometimes use items. Sadly, when trying to do more complex objectives they are worse than useless. They don't pick up items that need to be carried, they don't protect you while you're doing an objective. They just run around aimlessly hacking at the enemy. This in itself wouldn't be an issue except they don't prioritise watching your back or aiding you at all. For example, in one level I'm carrying a barrel which will explode if I get hit. I can drop it and fight the enemy and carry on but ideally I need someone behind me to make sure I'm not hit in the back and perhaps two in front to clear the way. Where are the bots? Miles away just fighting some random pack of enemies. They don't assist at all. They don't even stay close. Instead just hacking away until the group of enemies they're focused on is dead which is no use when I need to get 8 barrels from one side of the level to another and the enemies constantly respawn. With other human players all carrying barrels or defending those that have them this mission can be a breeze, but the bots make it more like a tedious slog. It gets worse though as the bots will split up so they are easily taken down by special enemies (Like the Gutter runner who pins you down until another hero gets them off, or the Slaver, who grabs you and drags you away to your death unless another hero intervenes). They also have a tendency to fall off ledges in certain levels and need another player to pull them up. Otherwise they die. So you have to do all this fetching and carrying, on your own while at the same time keeping an eye on the bots and making sure they don't die because if they do you risk being totally overwhelmed. This could have been avoided somewhat if you had a bit of control over them. A simple "Protect me" "Attack this target" "Pick up this item" system would have been fine. There is even a ping button you can use to highlight things but they decided not to give you that level of control in case it made the game too easy. Apparently there is a mod you can download to help a little but its still not great. I don't like using mods. I prefer to play the game as was intended so I can do an unbiased review. Its a real shame. I really like this game. I'm big into Warhammer and playing this really felt like it was made with a lot of love. Its very immersive and incredibly satisfying when you finally start to smash through easier levels without breaking a sweat. There is so much right about this game. I definitely can't dispute that. Its just a bit frustrating that a lot of the difficulty comes not from the enemies being harder but the awkwardness and sometimes outright stupidity of the AI that is alongside you leading to failed missions and some of the harder ones being an absolute chore to play through. I don't mind getting killed, but if I'm being hindered by my own AI team then that becomes a real problem. Overall I do have a very positive opinion of it and I'd certainly recommend it. Especially if you're a Warhammer fan. You'll find plenty to enjoy for your first few hours and is even better with a group of mates. If you decide to try the harder levels with AI, Well, Don't say I didn't warn you!
