    The base mechanics are fine. They're passable. What else could they be when your ripping off an established formula whole hog. Here's everything about vermintide that sucks.

    -Artificial difficulty. You are a slow, fat, legless slug that must drag your misshapen heap of a body to and fro in blatant defiance of gods will. Your enemies trained their whole lives with cirque du soleil. Each of you can usually one shot the other at higher difficulties, especially if you pick up the books that cut your health by 66%. This game isn't difficult like spinning plates or hitting a three pointer, it's difficult like chewing gravel.

    -Unavoidable damage. Even playing properly you will almost certainly take a lot of damage. This is especially irksome during boss fights.

    -One way no return drops. Don't ever get caught on top of one alone because if you go down because a special spawned on top of you and grabbed you, your team has no way of rezzing you because for some reason you can't crawl in last stand.

    -The playable characters. I mainly play kerillian, and i wan't to rip her sarcastic, quipy little tongue out of her smug **** face. And then I want to do the same with the rest of the reprobates whose skulls I inhabit. There is no way to just mute the characters voices either, because fat shark has nothing but contempt for their players and you're gonna experience every line of dialog every game or you can go **** yourself.

    -Specials. 3/5? specials have the ability to grab the player through guard and pin them, slowly draining health. A special **** you to the assassin which can leap over a hundred metres and often from behind cover. Why not just roll a die every few minutes to decide if the player should continue or restart.

    -Item crafting. The only draw of this game is grinding for 300 gear score, and fat shark knows this, so they dribble and drip items at a slugs pace. After getting up to about 150 or so, don't expect to get any usable gear in any given play session, because you likely won't. Just a small mound of tinder to burn for materials.

    -Tomes. The game doesn't reward individual skill as much as it does meta knowledge about the 5 collectible books on every level, often hidden in obnoxiously difficult to find places. They never move and completing the level without at least 3-4 is almost pointless, so get ready to study a wikia to make sure you arnt pissing up a tree for half an hour.

    -Toxic community. Even though there is no benefit to getting the most kills, kill whoring is rampant, even if it means shooting your own teammates. Even if it means taking damage yourself. I also distinctly remember being called **** retarded for not knowing where all the books were on a level i had played once.

    -Samey levels. If I ever made a game where there are only 16 small maps, I would at least make sure they were highly distinct from one another. This is not the case. Not that there is any story worth getting invested in (or at all), but the writers couldn't come up with 16 different objectives for you to complete, and 4 are already just crappy boss fights. There's like 3 missions that revolve around ringing a bell.

    -Story. It's like a really god awful super friends or something. There's a portal, you **** around for 15 levels, then you break the portal. There's no development, no character arcs, no point. Why is this even a warhammer game? to cynically cash in on an established fan base and make the L4D skin suit you're wearing seem more appealing by stretching it grotesquely around the frame of another established franchise? Maybe all of warhammer is thinly veiled plagiarism covered in slimy dog **** i don't know, I've never seen any of it so maybe it is.

    Bottom line. This game is fun like smoking crack is fun. First you have to blow a guy for 20 dollars, then you have to not get stabbed knocking on your dealers door because he lives in a bad neighborhood, then you have to make a stem out of a nip bottle, then smoking it tastes like battery acid and burns like poison, but after its all done you get high for a few minutes before you have to start over again. That is this game. An indeterminate amount of suffering then a cathartic high when you get to open that golden loot box. For some people that's a game. To me that's a destructive personality trait.

    decent graphics, thats about it.
    Basically no story, hack-and-slash. The lobbies are buggy, killing tons of enemies does not feel rewarding (as there is no reward to how many you've killed) and its basically run, spam, search, repeat. Very underwhelming for 30 bucks.
    Also don't understand the comparison to left 4 dead, as the multiplayer versus mode was so much more indepth than anything

Even with loots the game gets dull quickly. - Game is unstable. Expect to crash and lose 30 minutes of progress once every few hours if you're unlucky. - No dedicated server, so expect to lose

    I'm old and I'm tired of unstable and unfinished games. Years ago, I decided to start buying simpler games, but games that work and in most cases, this idea made me buy great products.

    Sadly, Fatshark did a simple game that doesn't work 30% of the time so I was wrong with this one and I just have to advise not to buy it.

    Well, I have over 500 hours into Vermintide 1, and pre-ordered the Vermintide 2 because 1 was so good.
    Well, it turns out that the 2nd game in the series was very rushed, they put in a very bad anticheat system just days before release, which has not only broken the game for a lot of people (they cant launch the game, it crashes, it plays a map until the end of the map then crashes leaving the player with nothing, no XP, no stones, no dust, nothing at all), but it also introduced severe lag in the game.
    I have a heck of a gaming system (I7 5930k, Titan X 12gb, GTX580 as dedicated Physx card, 16gb ddr4 memory, 2560x1440 144hz monitor), and the game went from 70 to 100fps, all the way down to 30 to 60's fps. It is poorly optimized right now, and never should have been released. Even the developers themselves said they wish they had another 3 months to a year to finish it.
    It is very hard for newcomers, casual players, or even midlevel players to play, as they removed the 'Easy' , 'Normal' and 'Hard' options of the 1st game, and start players out on what is essentially 'Nightmare' from the 1st game, and it gets much harder (3 more levels after the 'Recruit' which ir really 'Nightmare' difficulty).
    If you like dying over and over and over and over and over, and never finishing a map, until you get enough experience to get a loot box that may or may not contain a good weapon, then this is your kind of game!
    Throw in an Anti-Cheat system that is as bad as or worse than Securom, Starforce, and Sony's music DRM, (at the very last minute mind you, mere days before actual release) and you have a recipe for disaster.
    The gameplay is VERY geared towards consoles (but why is it so hard then?), as there iis blur on EVERYTHING, and you cannot turn some of it off (although they do have a great selection of options for everything else, including other viddeo options) compared to the 1st game. The art direction they went with is part Vermintide 1, and part cartoonish look (they reused assets from V1, and the new enemies dont look like the rats, they look more cartoonish).
    The gameplay is a tossup. I personally love Vermintide 1's gameplay, as it is very crisp, the momentum is just about right for the fast pace of the game, and everything just 'fits' with everything else. Vermintide 2, on the other hand, feels laggy, clumsy, and way overhanded with the forward momentum of even just a single handed blade or axe..
    The game is not jump in and play, its jump in and grind and grind and grind until you get enough XP to get a loot box that may have a good weapon or charm in it, until you can win 1 map to get another few loot boxes, until you can then beat the 2nd map, and grind until you get another few loot boxes and grind and grind and grind a single map over and over and over until you can beat the next map, unless you get lucky and the new enemy spawn engine does not spawn much of anything and you just walk to the maps exit, which is not rewarding at all, but welcome if you lose 15 games in a row.
    I think the leveling system in V2 ruined the game that was V1. Instead of building upon what was so successful, they totally changed the gameplay to be very heavy RPG (to a FPS only pplayer). No longer can you play whatever weapon you want. No, now you have to unlock characters as you go along, and guess what? You get to play them from level 1 AGAIN! And grind and grind and grind, just like the 1st time.
    they messed with a great game too much, and made it something I personally dont want to play anymore.
    I will stick with Vermintide 1, and see what they do with Vermintide 3, IF there is ever a Vermintide 3 after this debacle.
    I am sad to write this review, as I love the 1st game.
    But, Vermintide 2 just is not ready to release, and has strayed too far from the formula that made it great to begin with.

    Finally I was able to play for 8 hours. Here is my full of review.

    I see enemies hit you from long range with melee weapons which is unrealistic. Actually combat is totally a disaster. They had better to fix it. Playing at the start in easy (recruit) mode is actually not easy. It feels you play in "hard" It's not problem for me as a regular player. But for some new players who meet

    Playing at the start in easy (recruit) mode is actually not easy. It feels you play in "hard" It's not problem for me as a regular player. But for some new players who meet with this game that will make them to find this game as if ugly. There is balance need for difficulty levels.

    Common issue is that game is always crushing when you try to start game at the launcher. I found solution in hard way. I actually ripped apart my windows .. lol. And I found out that you have to update every ****** of components in your windows. Even I was able to play many better games like AC origins etc. without updating anything that I have no issue with them in my previous windows settings. So, I wonder if Fatshark works with Microsoft... lol ... First time I see a game push you to upgrade your all windows(10) stuff. Actually it was all-ready updated but seems somethings were missing. So, re setup my OS and re updates which is fixed it.

    So, I don't have to be gonna request any refund for a cheap game. But I also do not recommend this game to play.

    The game used to be fun but the developers keep breaking the game with every single incompetent patch. They even decided to remake the entire game after a year of it's release causing everyone who had played it before to relearn how to play the game.

    The developers themselves even have gone as far as harassing and ridiculing paying customers for their honest criticism of the terrible direction the game is heading. They purposely deactivated reviews for their Winds of Magic "expansion" so no one could warn anyone on how terribly buggy and overpriced it was with little to no new content. The majority of the "new" content was rehashed maps that then were cut into smaller pieces called "weaves" and the "new" weapons were just existing weapons already in the game but given to different heroes.

    The developers are a fraud. They promised to give us dedicated servers on launch then waited 2 months before telling people they just "couldn't" do it. That's bait and switch.

    They also repeatedly promised and reassured that there will be NO micro-transactions and, yet, they are now planning on releasing a "cosmetic" shop where you buy crappy recolored skins you already have and hats that mostly all look identical to each other.

    Fatshark is nothing more than liars and criminals. The game doesn't play well because they use an outdated and discontinued engine.

    Vermintide 2 went from 70k players on launch to a measly 2k players during prime time. That says it all.

Ничего бы не изменилось, если бы вместо огромных полупустых локаций, на которых в ключевых точках начинают спавниться враги, у нас была небольшая арена. Разве что бесполезной беготни по унылым локациям было бы меньше и, быть может, сами сессии короче (почему в этой игре плохо что сессия длится от получаса до 50ти минут я скажу позже)
    2- геймплея. разве что вы любите боль и сожжённые нервы из-за того что вас завалила толпа мяса, ваш герой не способен в перекаты и двигается как калека, а на уровне не хватает аптечек. При этом весь геймплей- это просто три кнопки. Не то чтобы последнее было плохо само по себе, поставить такую же механику в упрёк L4D я бы не смог, но в игре, которая на 90% слешер с прокачкой, и лишь на 10% шутер...это работает плохо.
    3- артдизайна. многие элементы сливаются в однообразный серый фон на котором ничего не видно, ни тиммейтов, ни врагов, ни элементов окружения.
    4- Баги. Тонны их
    -отвратительная и неполная локализация, шрифты наползают друг на друга, описания навыков не соответствуют оригинальным, часть текста просто нечитабельна без микроскопа.
    -игра вылетает с ошибкой при запущенном MSI Afterburner, таким образом невозможно адекватно делать скриншоты, мониторить её производительность и вообще, это первая игра из примерно полутора тысяч в которые я играл, с такого рода ошибкой, и пока единственная, браво.
    -игра регулярно вылетает с ошибкой отключения от хоста, но не это ужасно, а то что если вы практически прошли всю карту, собрали гримуары, потратили на это час своей жизни вас, внимание, ВЫКИНЕТ_В_САМОЕ_НАЧАЛО_КАРТЫ и заменит 1-2 тиммейтов ботами, никакой награды или опыта за свои усилия вы не получите. Как можно было делать сессионную игру с такими длинными сессиями и не озаботиться о переподключении- я не понимаю.
    -навыки, половина навыков (пассивок) просто не работает, 90% их совершенно бесполезны
    -нерфы. После релиза занерфали вообще всё. Если в бете геймплей представлял собой достаточно весёлое времяпрепровождение, то теперь из 10 игр вы выиграете только две. Гринд, гринд, ещё раз гринд. В несоревновательной ПВЕ-сессионке, да.
    -Интерфейс. Вы играли Diablo 3? так вот, он тут такой же, только во много раз хуже, никаких характеристик, описаний, шанса на крит и тп.

    Резюмируя. Я не советую эту игру никому на данной стадии её разработки. Это крайне посредственная калька с l4d с гриндом для прокачки и крысами вместо зомбей, только намного хуже во всех отношениях

For all the comparisons to L4D2, there is almost no strategy involved to how you play this game. On top of that, the graphics and game itself are kind of glitchy, where you will swing and kill 3 enemies, but miss two enemies that have sunk partway into the ground for some reason, before the game floats them back up to be standing on the ground.

    Overall, it's amusing for a little while, but not worth much in the end.

    So eventually, i was able to start the game and play one session. Gameplay was very chaotic and didn't seem to require much skill - for example, you don't have to aim precisely and your main weapon doesn't have limited ammo like in L4D. You just run around clicking left mouse button, most of the time - quite boring, if you ask me.

    After that game, i got some loot crates which i tried to open. First crate made my computer reset, second one hanged the game. Tried to start the game two more times, but i got connection to server error once, and game hanged at loading screen the second time. At this point i'm done with this piece of sotware art, and have to remeber never to buy anything form Fatshark again.

    No story, just dungeon grinding. The game was fun when you first try it, but it gets boring overtime. Grinding the same maps, enemies and bosses is what you are playing for after the tutorial, nothing else. The game offers not much content except it's free on steam recently.

    This is like you described Valve's masterpiece series to somebody and they really **** it up between the A and B. For god's sake, lootcrates. And yes, the levels and environments are all the samey. Just see what everyone else has to say about this that isn't a solid 10, they are mostly right.

    In all ways better than the first, looks awesome and plays really well. It is a shame that it has occasional and unnecessary bugs and is missing dedicated servers. [Issue#284]

    If I were to compare Vermintide II to other titles, I would choose Left 4 Dead and Diablo, with Dark Messiah of Might and Magic coming in a close third place due to how combat feels. The game will eventually wear you down with its repetitiveness, because replaying scenarios is embedded in its design, but before it happens you’ll spend dozens of fun hours with it. [05/2018, p.42]

    Vermintide 2 evolved far beyond a Left 4 Dead imitation. Using familiar concepts, Fatshark lovingly crafted one of the best cooperative action games in recent years.
