Players praise the game's Left 4 Dead-inspired co-op melee combat and Warhammer setting. [1][2][3] Many note the game is dead online, making solo play frustrating due to poor AI bots. [4][5][6] Some prefer Vermintide 2, but others value the original's maps and atmosphere. [7][8][9]

Only buy if you want to experience older maps and atmosphere that was exclusive to the first vermintide. (CERTAINLY BUY ON SALE!) Out of that pro, the game is rather painful to play as the player base is dead and the optimization in this game is below par. When completing missions, most if not all, contain a team effort task to complete: 1. DESTROY ALL 4 CHAINS 2. COLLECT ALL THE RUCKSACKS In missions, with no real …

Pros: ✅ Left 4 Dead style gameplay, but focused primarily on melee combat. ✅ Tons of missions to choose from + plus two survival maps (some missions and survival map are DLC exclusive). ✅ Set in the Warhammer universe, with plenty of lore to discover by collecting lore pages. ✅ The game can range from easy to very challenging depending on the difficulty you choose (you can also collect tomes and grimoires, which …

Review Title: I came for fun. I stayed because I forgot what real life feels like. I launched this game “just to try it for 10 minutes.” That was a lie. A disgusting, shameful lie. Suddenly it was 3 AM, my room was dark, my soul was empty, and I was emotionally attached to pixels on a screen. This game didn’t just entertain me — it adopted me. Let’s talk about gameplay. It’s smooth. Too smooth. Like “butter sliding …

It's a shame that this game is dead. The action in Vermintide is amazing! The loot system, upgrades and character progression are great, but... The whole idea of the game is that you're going to be endlessly replaying the same stages in different difficulty levels with a full squad of players. Unfortunately, the game is pretty dead in 2026 and unless you can get some friends to join you, don't even bother. The AI …

If you enjoy the Left 4 Dead, you will enjoy this. Inspiration is obvious - a team of four survivors against hordes of monsters. Skaven Clan Rats play the role of the common undead, appearing in hordes, while the Rat Ogres are equivalents of Tanks. Yet at the same time, differences are more than obvious - and exceedingly fun. Fact that ranged weapons are predominantly single-shot means that there is much more focus …

Players who liked Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide talk about smooth, satisfying melee combat; those who didn't talk about dead playerbase, hard to find matches. Which matters more to you?
Critics, per Wikipedia
PC Gamer played the game at PAX Prime 2015 and awarded it the "Best game of PAX", stating that "What's surprising about Vermintide, and absolutely central to its appeal, is how fresh it feels despite its deep similarities to Left 4 Dead." Upon release, the game was met with positive responses. The game's co-operative nature received acclaim. Ian Birnbaum from PC Gamer called it the best co-operative multiplayer game to date since Left 4 Dead 2. He added that players staying together is essential, saying that it has successfully encouraged players to co-operate with each other. Dan Whitehead called the game "a thrilling twist on Left 4 Dead's co-operative action" but he was disappointed that…

There is no online play anymore and the achievements need several people cooperating to complete (things like, "carry 3 books to the end" when each player can only carry one at at time or "destroy 3 objectives withing 5 seconds" when it takes 30 seconds to go from objective to objective.
