The verdict
A solid Left 4 Dead-style melee co-op game in the Warhammer setting, hurt by a dead player base, weak bots and RNG loot. Skip it if you have no friends to play with.
Great for
Groups of friends who want gritty Warhammer melee co-op, especially on sale
Main risk
Empty lobbies and poor bots leave you grinding alone; Vermintide 2 does most things better
What players love
Left 4 Dead formula with Warhammer skin
Mentioned in ~1 in 4 positive reviews
“An obvious clone of left 4 dead, but a good one. Chopping up rats is a lot of fun.”
