Warhammer The End Times Vermintide

My lovely wife bought me this great game and recently I started to play it on my PS4. Soon after I received it a coworker and my godfather joined the fray.

Vermintide is a co-operative, action, first-person shooter and melee combat adventure set in the End Times of the iconic Warhammer Fantasy universe. Vermintide takes place in and around Ubersreik, a city overrun by Skaven.


The game starts with this beautiful and captivating into.

As you had a glimpse as what heroes play, the only thing left to do is to select one.

Heroes






I usually go for the dual swords character, but this time I wanted to play something that I haven't done before so I chose the wizard. My friends chose the dwarf and the elf.


You first meet you party in the inn. Here you can switch your arsenal, forge better weapons and prey to create weapons. The only thing left to do next is to select your mission or join someone else.
"Forward! Into battle!"


As soon as the level starts swarms of skaven appear.
Most of the time you spend killing Clanrats and Skavenslaves...
lots of them...

but you will also find Ratling Gunners

 Poison Wind Globadiers (they are probably the most annoying since you cannot see through the gas and leave you disoriented)

 Rat Ogres (toughest unit in the game)

 Stormvermins (they die only with headshots or armor penetrating weapons)


and Gutter Runners . The last 2 units are the worst since they immobilize you. The Packmaster draws you to a safe place for him and other rats beat you to death. The assassin is sneaky and attacks you from behind and drains you life fast.

When you are not killing, you usually have to gather barrels or sacks,
 destroy Doomwheels,
protect a wizards tower,
destroy towers and close the warp gate.

Most of the maps are different from one another, especially the scenery. You will be roaming the streets of a city,
crawl through the sewers,
search a magical tower,
get teleported to an unknown location,
raid a dwarven port,
get lost in a swamp,
 attack a Skaven camp,
find you way out of a cursed castle and finally defeat the Skaven leader, The White Rat.

If you manage to pass all these tests you and your party will become the "Defenders Of Ubersreik".

Winning a mission will award you, through a system of dice, gear for your characters. You can increase your chances of getting better gear if you collect Tomes, Grimoires and if you find lucky dice inside chests. Grimoires give you 2 automatically successes but reduce your health 30% each.

 If you get bored of the missions you can start "The last stand". An endless mode where you will fight waves and waves of Skaven.

 Overall I like the game, I enjoy it. Controls are good, graphics are tip top and the gameplay is wonderful.
