Worth buying? What 300 Steam reviews say.Worth buying? Here’s what 300 Steam reviews actually say.
A brutal, atmospheric Vermintide-with-guns horde shooter with excellent combat and music. Skip it if you want solo play, stable performance, or live in Russia, where connection errors are common.
Great for
Co-op players with friends who love L4D or Vermintide-style melee and gunplay and the 40k atmosphere
Main risk
Poor optimization, crashes and server errors, plus no solo mode, can make the game unplayable or frustrating

Recent negative reviews cite a major update that reworked talent trees, nerfed builds (especially Psyker and Veteran), reused Vermintide 2 content, and brought crashes, stutter and server errors. Fairly confident, though Russia connection blocks add noise.

“Fatshark absolutely nailed the atmosphere of Tertium, the towering gothic architecture, the oppressive industrial grime and Jesper Kyd's pounding synth-choir soundtrack make every mission feel like a desperate holy crusade.”

“There is a lot of depth in builds, and the devs go out of their way to rebalance and make sure that most weapons and classes are viable.”

“In true fatshark fashion, the game went from "Don't buy" at launch, to "pretty decent" 1-2 years later, to "one of the best Coop games I ever played".”

“Constant 3013 errors. Throws me out of the lobby, out of an ongoing mission, doesn't let me in the game at all and other headaches.”

“No solo mode is unacceptable, however. Vermintide II had a wonderful solo mode and bot support.”
