The sequel, similarly to the first game in the series, was developed by Fatshark, the creators of games like War of the Vikings and Krater.

Plot

In the first entry in the series the brave heroes fought Skavens in the city of Ubersreik. Warhammer: Vermintide 2 for PC, PS4 and XONE takes place in Helmgart – a stronghold city located near the border of Bretonnia. There the players must face rat-like creatures and the forces of Chaos. If the player fails, the empire will fall as well.

Mechanics

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 for PC, PS4 and XONE is a classic sequel that doesn’t introduce any major changes. It is a brutal action game focused mostly on melee combat, in which player uses various swords or spears. During the game he or she can also use ranged weapons like crossbows. The gameplay is focused on cooperation between players. Up to four players can play together. They assume the roles of various characters with different abilities. There are five characters to choose from. They can be developed in three separate directions. This enables the players to adapt the character to their play style. Among the available characters there is dwarf Bardin Goreksson, assassin Kerillian, head hunter Victor Saltzpyre, mage Sienna Fuegonasus and knight Markus Kruber.

The developers improved the loot system. After each mission the players are awarded with various rewards, including weapons and materials that are useful in crafting. Heroic Deeds is one of the novelties – it features unique scenarios in which enemy forces, surroundings, weapons and mission objectives are changed.

Technical aspects

The graphics of the game are of similar quality to the ones featured in the first game. It is a nice looking and dark game. The title features dedicated servers and players looking for additional attractions can find them thanks to the Steam Workshop support.
