And I HATE zombies (single most over-used trope in anything, and that is saying a lot, because I watch a TON of anime). Jeff even commented at one time that (non-verbatim) “this game really makes me want to just go play Left 4 Dead” and that sentiment was shared. On the PC? This game would be great and by all accounts, IS great there. In all honesty calling Vermintide an actual Warhammer game might be doing a discredit to the venerable Warhammer franchise as it is more a Left 4 Dead clone that uses Warhammer assets.
But alas, you cannot re-position/resize the HUD so there were times I would ask my co-op partner what was on-screen.

What is even more fun is the overscan “feature.” HUD elements and between-mission “tavern time” where you forge / upgrade weapons or manage your inventory all take place slightly off-screen, which sucks, because you sort of need to adjust the HUD to have all elements on-screen to play / choose options effectively. Interrupt your regular tapping of the right-trigger to hold the left trigger in to block. In fact, if you place the targeting reticle at head high and lock it there on that Y axis, you could effectively head-shot about 99% of the enemies for easy kills (only needing to move along the X axis). Run around, tap right-trigger, sometimes hold it. Though, in all honesty for all that people love Skyrim … ITS combat is pretty boring.
Workarounds were along the lines of “avoid this feature/path/loot/function/etc.” which, with the broken loot system on Xbox One means … play the game with original equipment and hope for the best.Ĭombat is very Skyrim-esque, except boring. A quick look at the Xbox One Feedback / Bug Report forum at Fatshark shows this is not an isolated case, but rather a common occurrence. The fun part? When playing co-op with Jeff we would have to start each level from the beginning we must have played the first level a dozen or so times just because we could not get the game to stay loaded long enough to actually play. Dumb.īeyond the horribly bizarre loot fiasco lies the fact that in a single session it was common to crash to desktop three or four times.
That is sort of like playing Diablo with the starting equipment because nothing drops loot. After a dozen hours in-game I still have no clue how loot works, which is sad because loot is a basic aspect of ANY aspiring RPG. Oddly though, about 95% of the chest that I and CGR contributor Jeff came across were all empty.
Where it differs is that there is actual leveling up, a basic crafting function, and even loot / inventory management (that honestly, makes no sense).

Behind each level is a faux reason for said forward progression (need to unlock a door, need to gather resources, etc.) that would have been better served with “The Skaven are flooding the streets and you need to get out of there!” because the story for Vermintide feels very B-rated Movie (on the flip side, Vermintide’s cheesiness is PERFECT for Halloween season binging), you know, kind of like Left for Dead. Think Left 4 Dead but with swords and sorcery rather than shotguns and rockets. To start, Vermintide, set in the original Warhammer universe, is a corridor “shooter” where forward progression is key. Warhammer: The End Times – Vermintide is not a bad game, but it is a bad port.

Enter the lovable folks at Fatshark games and Pierre-Yve’s glowing review of Vermintide on the PC and I thought “Here it is, finally, a Warhammer game to be proud of!” I was wrong, and that pains me to admit it. I recently previewed Warhammer 40,000 Eternal Crusade and, like most Warhammer games in the last few years, I was let down.
