Getting into games is quick and fast, even when doing random searches. I do think the enemy variety is a bit lacking, but I get it, itвЂ™s a theme for the game. The AI can be hit and miss at times, but itвЂ™s better than I expected. The dark fantasy Warhammer atmosphere comes through in the visual department. ItвЂ™s fun alone and competent enough to play through, but with online folks or friends itвЂ™s even better, and where the experience truly shines. Which is a real shame, as Vermitide is a great co-op experience. Sadly, IвЂ™ve hardly heard any talk about this game prior to it releasing on consoles or even know when it released.

This is a port of a PC game released about a year ago. Reading all this, if my comment about this being like Left 4 Dead hasnвЂ™t set in yet, itвЂ™s pretty damn clear at this point it was a huge inspiration. When away from characters and not in view, a green silhouette displays where they are, so special awareness of where teammates are is possible. Fail to do so and they end up tied up and needing rescue, usually in a nearby area.

If a player goes down, reviving is required. Moving to far away from the group can lead to trouble, as one enemy type can pin players down. Of course there are more reasons this feels like ValveвЂ™s prior zombie co-op game. The 5 character classes, from a dwarf to a mage, are the typical cast of characters to play as, and most come off feeling rather similar aside from a few minor differences. In a way it reminds me of Left 4 Dead meets Diablo. Yes, each character does have ranged weapons, but ammo is extremely limited, so melee is going to be the focus. The huge focus on this title is with melee combat though. Players work through the levels, sometimes needing to complete objectives like carrying explosives to a wall, or bringing sacks of food to a carriage. In a nutshell, levels play out very similar in fashion to Left 4 Dead.

I was impressed that the system performance seemed to keep up with the chaos on display. There will be a ton of enemies on screen at times too. From small fodder, rats with swords and armor, or even giant mutated rats that are reminiscent of tanks from that other game. Once a mission is selected, players will traverse huge levels, defending themselves from swarms of rats. That said, it does require an online connection to play regardless of playing alone or not. While itвЂ™s possible to play Vermintide alone with AI bots, who actually do a decent job at helping, this is a game made for online friends and community. This is where players can do searches for other games hosted, create private matches, use the forge, and equip new armor, weapons, and trinkets. The hub of the game takes place in an inn. ItвЂ™s up to our band of characters to work together and stop the swarm of rats overcoming the city.

There are little story elements before the levels start, which are broken into 3 acts of 4 levels apiece. ItвЂ™s ultimately a story about a great plague of rats, coming to take over the world. The idea and story behind Vermintide isnвЂ™t what will push players to finish the game. How long to beat: 8+ hours Rats are everywhere So it brings a huge smile to my face to say that Vermintide takes me back to those days, and with it a slightly new spin on that gameplay style. Then on second thought, I reminded myself вЂњHow often do we get an experience like Left 4 Dead?вЂќ the answer is almost never. Warhammer Vermintide is an experience that pretty much mirrors the core elements of that franchise, almost scarily so.ДЄt first, I was a bit taken aback by this actually. It wasnвЂ™t so much about the story or zombies in itself, but the team work that was required. Zombies and co-op was just such a refined experience, and unlike anything IвЂ™d played prior. I recall the days of the 360, and one of my ultimate favorite games and experiences.
