Considered among Warhammer fans to be the best thing to come out of the End Times plot, this 4-player cooperative game plays mostly like a melee-oriented Left 4 Dead -- in fact, it's been jokingly called Left 4 Rats. With an active forum and modding community, engaged developers, regular content releases, and an average of about 1000 players online at any given time, it's no Call Of Duty, but it's still a fun game with solid mechanics and a high skill cap. An engaging loot system ensures you always have a goal to work towards, and the game has something to offer for casual and hardcore players alike.

Just about any shooter fan knows what left 4 dead is. Vermintide is a copy of the 4 player formula, but improves on it in a number of ways. A super rad loot system keeps you coming back for more and gives you incentives to play different characters. While Left 4 Dead gets boring after awhile, Vermintide keeps things fresh with a similar dynamic map/difficulty system, but the never ending quest for loot will make you sink far more hours into this game than L4D for sure. Bonus for awesome melee combat, magic and an excellent representation of the Warhammer Endtimes universe. Buy with friends or play with strangers, but at the end of the day you'll enjoy murdering rats of all kinds in gory fashion.

So we got pretty much a match made in heaven with Total War Warhammer that was long overdue. I can't remember anyone talking about a mix of Left for Dead and Warhammer, but we got it and many expected nothing good from it and ignored it, which is a shame, because the game is pretty good. Graphics are really nice and it is pretty much everything you expect from Left for Dead. And I mean everything, sadly, even the bad things. AI is pretty dumb, pathfinding is troublesome for your teammates, sometimes they could be just standing picking their noses or doing something other than slashing monstrosities this game throws at you. Since this game is concentrated on co-op, it's best to play it with people, which brings us to another point - most of the time in Left 4 Dead you would find selfish people that don't want to play with you and just rush through without co-operating with you, which sucks, and here it is the same case. This game is best enjoyed with friends, alone it sucks, and with randoms on the internet you can find decent team, but many times you will find experience as unpleasant as in Borderlands 2.

This game can be a grindfest, but a fun one at that! You have your character and as you complete levels you get experience and weapons/gear and can upgrade your character! It is a blast running with your friends trying to complete the missions! My only qualm is that you really do need to have a strategy in who plays which characters, and having a "main" is great but you need to make sure your team is balanced or else it will be a struggle for the group. Nonetheless, I highly recommend playing through this as the boss fights and the roaming packs of mobs are incredibly fun to fight off!!

this is epic, love it. at first i thought ermmm, i dont know lol. but after an hour or 2 getting to grips with it, i can honestly say its a solid title. its a warhammer left 4 dead, simple really, and it works. plus it has the forge which i like, you collect weapons and armor etc and you can melt them down for scrap/gems or combine them to make your own, or you can keep them and upgrade. the lvls can be drawn out being an easy 45mins long so be aware of this, its not something you can pause when playing!!! some lvls are longer than others. really good game and would 100% recommend if your looking for something to just kick back and go nuts on, bring on the rats ;-)
