Independent developer Fatshark today announced that the million selling hit game Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is available on Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, today. Even on harder difficulties, the game still manages to balance things out accordingly, but just expect a few moments of nearly completing a level and seeing an swarm of rats come towards you from the exit’s direction.STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN - July 11, 2018. There were never too many moments of sheer madness, where I felt completely overwhelmed to the point that the game wasn’t fun. Vermintide 2 does well to even out the difficulty as best it can with a good sense of balancing and pacing. One of the biggest aspects to any game like Vermintide and Left 4 Dead is the “director” which allows control over the flow of enemies and adjusts the difficulty depending on player progression. Warhammer: Vermintide 2, Fatshark Sneaky like a rat To get better loot, though, you’ll need to rinse and repeat certain levels. Players who enjoy playing alone will be rewarded with loot boxes (don’t worry, they’re unlocked by playing) which often offer decent surprises. Plus, crafting can be a little tedious as resources come in mighty slow unless you play the harder difficulties. There’s plenty of weapons, gear and crafting to keep you invested through the 12 campaign and more.Īdmittedly, leveling up could’ve provided more abilities or special attacks as characters feel a little underwhelmed when it comes to alternative attacks.
When it comes to character progression, the journey through building one’s rat hunter bad ass is substantial. Deathwing could’ve learned a few things from Vermintide 2.

All have interesting personalities with the capability to form full sentences or even produce a funny line here or there. Players are in for a treat with five distinctive heroes to select from. Fight the Chaos army and Skaven in style! I personally would’ve been more enthralled at new bosses rather than an over-reliance on repeating one from the original game. There’s even a neat climax to the game with a proper ending to finish off on. You’ll engage with the grind of run, pray you don’t die, and completing mission objectives that don’t solely rely on gathering explosive barrels (there are still moments like that, but they have more impact and spectacle here). The level design still encourages relentless gauntlets, but things are evenly broken up by set pieces, bosses, different terrains and some light lateral moments. I felt engaged with the diverse set of locations and stimulated by the often challenging level design. One location even reminded me of Left 4 Dead 2’s corn field. Now, though, we get a vast selection of locations during the day, night, underground, over-ground. Warhammer: Vermintide 2, Fatshark Rat-tastic fun! The original game was set entirely within a city that didn’t have much appeal or charm. While not massively original, I will give big points to the developers for actually giving us a main antagonist of sorts and a wider selection of locations to venture through. There’s some new elements thrown into the narrative this time around with the Chaos armies making an ungodly nerving appearance. Fatshark have decided to follow up with an even bigger and bolder game that pushes high octane, rat horde action! It’s the stuff of nightmares and our four mighty heroes will go forth to battle evil once again.Īs you might expect the story revolves around great and powerful evil returning, rats deciding to start the end of times and our heroes being the only 5 people in the merry lands of “I wouldn’t live there”. At no surprise, Vermintide won over enough fans to warrent a sequel. It was fine, but it could’ve been much greater. It had some solid gameplay elements, but lacked any compelling narrative, interesting level design, or dynamic team based gameplay. The original game was a mixed bag for me. Warhammer: Vermintide 2, Fatshark Bigger, bolder and bloodier It’s the sequel to Vermintide! Get your rat traps ready for some epic rat action in Warhammer: Vermintide 2. It featured four players, plenty of action, and an insane amount of enemies to battle.
However, there was a glimmer of hope from the Warhammer franchise. Even the original developers of L4D couldn’t reclaim the magic with their tedious co-op monster hunt, Evolve.
I remember the good old days of Left 4 Dead and it’s surprisingly great sequel! Others imitatedthe four player co-op formula, but never reached that high point Left 4 Dead 2 reached.
