Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide

(old review, might be outated in some cases - be aware...) Is it good?  -YES Is it good for everyone? -NO... - depends! Why? ...well it's a good mixture of:  - L4D game mechanics (4 players vs AI with those special enemies, swarming hordes, but no PVP) - Chivalry: Medieval Warfare melee combat style with charged attacks, parry and dodge - Kinda pure ranged combat is possible with mage class, limited ranged capabilities due to ammo with others (might change with good loot luck) Features atm: - Good graphics (GTX770, i5-4x4.2ghz, 16gig RAM here playing smoothly on high settings – and I know folks that run the game on a first gen i7-860 with a gtx460 on low but are able to play ok'ish) - Responsive and smooth game engine if the hosting player is in the same region and has a decent connection (play with friends!) - Nice and atmospheric maps so far - Random map events you need to deal wit

So after 2,634 hours of hunting rats, carrying tomes and inhaling poisonous green gas, I have still not written a review. And it is somewhat too late. There is probably no readership anymore since even this game's successor is years old by now. Many players have retired and I have too; enduring problems with my wrist made me prefer turn-based strategy. Otherwise I would still be roaming the streets, cellars, and squares of Ubersreik, and the depths below. There is just no experience comparable to the thrill, the immersion, the horrors and the triumph of a Vermintide run. Especially in a good team. In my years of playing Vermintide I have met the best, friendliest and most competent players you could ever imagine. This game had - and I'd assume still has - a fantastically creative, cooperative and supportive community, and there is a good variety of mods improving the experience in many

I should have written this much earlier, but I was too busy playing this game I guess. I'm currently 379 hours in and played 50+ hours during the last two weeks. I'm in the middle of my exams as a vet student... Although I never was really interested in the Warhammer universe, mostly because the games that it featured weren't really my cup of tea, this game really sparked a flame. The setting is fascinating, the in total hours long dialog between the characters really tells the story of these 5 heroes, the rats look awesome and the maps breathe a great atmosphere. The gameplay is a melee focussed version of Left 4 Dead and feels very satisfying, it's easy to learn and has so much depth that I'm still looking in awe at those guys that are running the maps on the highest difficulty, without any bots or friends and with the worst weapons you can get. On the topic of weapons: there is a gre

Have you ever sat down and thought to yourself: "Boy, wouldn't it be great if there was something like Left 4 Dead only about x10 as difficult and set in the Warhammer universe"? Because that's basically what this is.

Hi there, the ancient gamer here, 73 years old and my first gaming rig! Love this game how can you go wrong smashing man size rat's with a hammer, hahaha, what a hoot! The game is beautifully animated and a great story too, I mean come on, all this stuff is fantasy and not meant to be a reality check... it's an escape, a run in the dark where there is no fear, because you can't really die, and besides that, you carry a big hammer and know how to use it! Listen, I am a causal player and I play to have fun... to escape from the real calamities of life...anyways, Warhammer vermintide 2 end Times is fast pace and loads of fun....

At 525 hours, I finally feel competent to give a decent review of this game. First of all, you don't spend 525 hours playing something that sucks, so this is a thumbs UP review right off the bat. Particulars SOLO PLAY Yes, it's good as a solo game - but while you can have a lot of fun with it, you're seriously missing out on the core of the game's teamwork regarding the utility of other players and things that can be learned by sharing knowledge of gear, maps, tactics, playstyles, trinket combinations, buff uses, terrain quirks, and every other aspect of a game whose play area covers the equivalent of several square miles in several scenarios. It's also fairly impossible to know how good (or bad) you really are until you have seen people better than you are carry a whole event by themselves, then rescue the rest of the party, then carry the scenario finale solo again, then politely tel
