Free Beta weekend for Vermintide 2 is over and I can now share some of my impressions about the game. This is a full co-op multiplayer game where you and three other players play 30-60 minute long maps depending how far you survive against waves and waves of vermintide. Vermintide is of course Skaven, a humanoid rat race whose sole purpose is to destroy, kill and spread plague all over the world of Warhammer. In the sequel we will also fight some new enemies who worship gods of Chaos. There is a lot of slaying to be done in this game, I can confirm that.
You start the game with one of 5 different classes and each of the classes has 3 different specializations or careers. If you pick for example a Fire Mage, she will unlock another career path on lvl 7 and another on lvl 12. Every path has different passives and active abilities. There is also a rudimentary inventory and items system where you get some new items if you finish the maps with your team. There is a learning curve so expect to lose some maps and get nothing in return, slowly you will get a hang of the game and you will become a master slayer.
Considering this is just a 25$ game it can get you a lot of mileage for the buck. If you like Warhammer and co-op games you can definitely throw those 25$ for this game. Full release of the game is coming out in march 8th, so prepare your wallets for some great multiplayer action against Skaven and Chaos blight.
