Warhammer: Vermintide 2 Free Download Unfitgirl Warhammer: Vermintide 2’s ‘AI director’ is sadistic. With a lumbering Chaos Warrior already attacking us, the AI summons an armored Stormvermin ambush from behind. Pinched on both sides, they quickly knock out Bardin the dwarf, Kruber the mercenary, and Sienna the fire mage, leaving only me, the nimble elf Kerillian, to save us. Shit’s dire, but we’ve survived worse. Then, out of nowhere, the AI summons a Chaos Sorcerer. Usually these special enemies like to hang out at a distance and summon tornados that scatter us to the wind—an attack I can easily dodge, but this Chaos Sorcerer wants to make it personal. He teleports to me and begins sucking the soul out of my body, rendering me completely helpless. A party member could save me, but that’s pretty hard to do when they’re already incapacitated. It’s a cruel end to our adventure made even more sinister when, as I’m slowly being dragged to the sorcerer, the Chaos Warrior storms up and finishes me off with a coup de grâce even though I was already as good as dead. I half expect the AI to start teabagging me. Fatshark’s sequel is challenging and thrilling, but it can also be frustrating as hell when the multiplayer fails. Vermintide 2 can be maddeningly difficult. One or two of my teammates will be incapacitated, surrounded by vermin, and it’ll feel like it’s game over. Then my hammer smashes in the skull of the last Rotblood and my tunnel vision widens. It’s over. We survived. Moments like this evoke the vicious action of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings—especially when you’re an elf, a dwarf, and a human fighting your way through a mine filled with trolls.

As good as Vermintide 2 is at creating epic scenes of tension (even if it sometimes goes too far), it’s diminished by a frustrating multiplayer setup that can steal away what valuable agency you have over that experience. Fatshark’s sequel is challenging and thrilling, but it can also be frustrating as hell when the multiplayer fails.Like the first game, Vermintide 2 is a Left 4 Dead-style, four-player co-op first-person action game in which your party wades through treacherous levels fighting off hordes of Skaven, who have now allied with the vicious Chaos raiders. Set during Warhammer’s End Times, Vermintide 2’s apocalyptic fantasy setting is disturbing and marvellous. Its 13 levels tour ruined cities and treacherous bogs that are each as gorgeous and moody as the last. With each mission lasting about 30 minutes, you’ll end up repeating them. That might sound boring, but each level is expansive enough that revisiting them never feels repetitive thanks, in part, to the AI director mixing up enemy spawn locations. It’s a system that mostly works, though some areas of each mission do bleed together because fighting a group of Skaven doesn’t feel all that different from fighting a group of Rotblood raiders. This uncertainty of what enemies spawn, and where, has surprising benefits. In one sequence, my party escorted a minecart through a pitch black stretch of an abandoned mine. The first time I played this mission we had a terrifying fight against a troll that came charging at us from the dark. Another time we were ambushed by a horde of naked clanrats. During my third playthrough, nothing attacked us at all. The silence put me on edge for minutes.

The Loot Box In The Room

I particularly love the mission Righteous Stand, which starts you in a massacred mountain city before ending with a desperate fight inside an expansive, ruined temple. This finale sees a near endless horde of enemies swarming the party with no salvation in sight until the dormant magic of the cathedral miraculously saves the day. Unlike Left 4 Dead, however, Vermintide 2 is wearing layers of RPG underwear. It’s a lot to take in at first, but I’ve come to love the nuances each character career (a kind of subclass) offers because each one plays a subtle but crucial role in a party. The five characters have their own special ability, passive bonuses, unlockable skill trees, and weapons. Once you level a character up a bit, you’ll also unlock new careers that offer vastly different play styles in addition to each having their own separate skill tree. Bardin the dwarf’s Ironbreaker career is probably my favorite because it transforms him into the closest thing Vermintide has to a tank. When my special meter fills up, I can unleash an ear-splitting roar that draws the ire of every nearby enemy. Fortunately, this ability also grants me unlimited stamina for the next few seconds that I can use to block attacks. With all eyes (and swords) on me, my team can quickly carve through the baddies.

You’d think a loot system would be reason enough to keep playing, but it’s the thrill of severing Skaven limbs or surviving an all-out rush by the Rotblood horde that keeps me invested. Despite only using the left and right mouse buttons to attack and block, there’s a satisfying depth to combat. Each of the 50-ish weapons has their own timing, attack arcs, and reach but the fighting never feels clumsy or technical. A few swings with a new weapon was all I needed to understand how to best use it in combat. Bardin’s drakegun is a flamethrower that can ignite dozens of enemies when fully charged, while Kerillian’s Asrai hunting bow is basically an assault rifle that shoots arrows. Each of the melee weapons is similarly varied, and just when I think I prefer large, slow weapons, like Kruber’s halberd and its ability to decapitate multiple enemies in a single swipe, I try out Kerillian’s dual daggers and fall in love with how rapidly she can dice wimpy ratmen. There are few things quite as satisfying as the feeling of popping a ratman’s head like a grape with a giant war hammer. Or cutting that head clean off with an ax, or possibly unloading a full revolver clip into it, or just burning the whole thing to a crisp. The truth is, just about every one of the multitude of ways Warhammer Vermintide 2 gives you and your co-op team to kill your enemies is punchy, powerful, and a whole lot of fun.

Calling in the Exterminators

Vermintide 2 (and its predecessor) wears its Left 4 Dead inspiration on its sleeve, but it’s by no means a carbon copy of Valve’s co-op zombie FPS. It’s a similar structure: four players fight their way through a linear level filled with hordes of rat-like skaven and decomposing Chaos soldiers, with some variety coming from some Elite enemies that will grab your allies with hooks, throw poison smoke, or even fire machine guns. But Vermintide 2 has out-of-match progression with levels to earn, skill points to assign, and lots of new loot to collect – even if that loot is largely boring.When you make contact with a mace or a sword and an enemy’s face, you can practically feel it reverberate in your bones – especially with the slow and heavy two-handed hammers available. But nearly every melee weapon hits hard, with tons of feedback in the form of forceful sound effects and staggered reactions from your enemy. If its a killing blow, blunt weapons send the now-limp body flying, while bladed options instead slice through heads, limbs, torsos, and tails – it’s a display that’s even more spectacular when cutting through groups of skaven with wide-cleaving weapons. The dozens of weapons available are varied and balanced enough that each one feels different. The flail is a favorite of mine because it’s faster than most other blunt weapons and still has a cleave effect, but I rarely use hammers because of their slower swing – but both can be effective in the right hands. Picking one weapon over another feels like a matter of preference, not the temptation of raw power. MXGP 2019 – The Official Motocross Videogame

That said, the combat tactics in Vermintide 2 aren’t quite as deep as its weapon pool. You can aim for the head to deal more damage, use a slower but stronger heavy attack, block, and dodge a short distance, but that’s about all the nuance there is. Most fights are matter of circling hordes of baddies, swinging at the head and avoiding hits. The higher difficulty levels can be extremely challenging and do require tight, coordinated teamwork to survive, but it’s still simple, hack-n-slash fun at its core. That’s perfectly okay as long as you aren’t expecting the strategic nuance of something like Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. The Elite enemies also shake things up a bit, and there are a surprising number of different ones you can encounter. Many of them, like the Hook Rat, Assassin, and Leech, can single out isolated allies, forcing you to stick together. Others, like the Rattling Gunner or poison-throwing Globadiers can deal out tons of damage in a large area, pushing you to move around the battlefield. The scariest of all are the enormous Elites, like the Rat Ogre and the Spawn of Chaos, which act as smaller boss fights in the middle of a level and demand your full team’s attention. Even though all of these Elites are still killed by pouring damage into them, they are fun (and often frighteningly difficult) hurdles between hacking at the weaker hordes. It’s still simpler, hack-n-slash fun at its core, and that’s perfectly okay In addition to a melee weapon, every character also has a ranged weapon with a limited amount of ammo. Similar to the melee variety, there are a whole range of play styles available here; bows can fire quickly and accurately whereas crossbows hit harder but generally reload slower. Even within the different guns, you can use single-shot pistols, powerful shotguns, rapid fire repeaters, and lots more. I still prefer the feel of a broadsword to a bow, but they aren’t a neglected way to play in the slightest.

Not my kind of grind

In fact, whole characters can revolve around one style of combat or the other. There are five characters/classes to choose from, each of which has their own skill tree, pool of potential weapons, and special passive and active abilities. But each of those characters also has two additional unlockable alternate versions (called careers) which you can gain access to through leveling. Those careers change your abilities, skill tree, and general play style, essentially adding up to a total of 15 different character options with pretty significant differences between them. For instance, Markus Gruber is a tankier character who uses huge two-handed weapons by default. His base-level Mercenary career gives him extra attack speed when he hits three enemies at once, but his unlockable Huntsman career instead focuses on ranged combat and allows him to recover ammo on headshots. That meant that if I liked one character’s available weapons, but not necessarily their abilities, I could mix and match to better fit both my preference and whatever the party needed most at the time.

Sienna the Fire Mage is by far the most unique of the bunch, as her magic weapons replace ammo entirely with a clever and challenging overheating mechanic. Using her ranged spells will charge her up, allowing her to deal out damage even quicker, but if you overheat you’ll explode in a burst of flames and collapse. It can be used as a last-ditch area attack, but leaves you vulnerable until you find a healing item (which are rare on higher difficulties). Even if a couple other weapons borrow this mechanic, it makes Sienna stand out in the roster and comes with some exciting weapon options, like rapid-fire fireballs or a freakin’ laser beam. You can further customize your characters by allocating points to different skills. Every five levels grants you the choice between one of three new buffs in a skill tree, which can do things like modify abilities or improve your stats. While it takes a fair amount of playing to get those levels, you can reallocate your skills at any time. It feeds into the idea that Vermintide 2 wants you to experiment and explore everything it has to offer, not stick to one path that you have to max out to be effective. MX Bikes

Completing a mission rewards you with a loot box, but it’s hard to be all that excited when three of the five item types you can find and equip from them are functionally identical, the other two being your melee and ranged weapons. The Necklace, Charm, and Trinket are all generic vehicles for a power value and some bonus attributes, like increased critical chance or dodge distance. While weapon variety is exciting, these items are as dull as the metal they are made of. I generally just mindlessly click the biggest number item I have and scrap the rest for materials, seeing no difference between the slots. The saving grace is that Vermintide 2 has a pretty robust crafting system that lets you break down extra items to create new ones, upgrade current ones, and even reroll bonus attributes. It gave me a welcome level of control over the inherent randomness of the loot boxes, which also (thankfully) only give you items for the character you have selected when opening them. The contents of your loot box rewards can be upgraded by finding any of three hidden Tomes during a mission, which you need to carry to the end instead of a health item. There are also two Grimoire books, which actually lower the max health of your entire party while you are holding them and are significantly more hidden than the Tomes, often locked behind elaborate jumping paths or hidden button puzzles.
