About

Take back the city of Tertium from hordes of bloodthirsty foes in this intense and brutal action shooter. Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is the new co-op focused experience from the award-winning team behind the Vermintide series.
In the depths of the hive, the seeds of corruption threaten to turn into an overwhelming tide of darkness. A mysterious and sinister new force is seeking to take control of the entire city. It is up to you and your allies in the Inquisition to root out the enemy before the city succumbs to Chaos.
As Tertium falls, Rejects Will Rise.


Built on the legacy of Vermintide 2’s best-in-class melee combat, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide introduces intense WH40K gunplay to the mix. Master the balance between ranged and melee combat as you fight through a slew of enemies. Feel the impact of each swipe, swing, and slice of a chainsword, or fry some flesh with a lasgun.


Darktide is a co-op game. Wandering too far, risks punishment by foes looking to immobilize or capture stray Rejects, such as the slavering Chaos Hound or the Moebian Trapper. Once you fall prey to such foes, only your teammates can save you! More than that, your innate toughness – your determination to press on through the pain – only recharges when you are in the proximity of your strike team.


Create your own, unique character and customize their physical appearance, voice, and origin. Choose your class to determine which unique traits and skill sets they will make use of in battle. Will you be a seasoned veteran of the Imperial army, a snarky outsider, or a fiery zealot? The choice is yours.


Step into the violent, dystopian world of Warhammer 40,000. From boiling hot industrial factories to the decaying water maintenance zone afflicted by constant acid rainfall - Tertium Hive is a hard and unforgiving place even at the best of times. Your role is to serve the zealous Inquisition by embarking on missions to exterminate the threats lurking in the depths of the hive city, or die trying.


Adapt to the erratic whims of Chaos with conditions- mutators that add a spontaneous challenge to your mission. Your team must learn to adjust, adopt new tactics and change up their loadouts to face these ruthless challenges.

nice atmosphere. super nice community
Liebe auf den zweiten Blick. Ich habe Darktide mit ein paar Kumpels gespielt. Wir hatten Spaß, sind dann aber recht schnell zum nächsten Spiel weitergezogen. Nach einer längeren Pause wollte ich mal wieder reinschauen und habe mich dann wirklich mit allen Spielmechaniken beschäftigt. Vorher fand ich das Spiel toll, jetzt finde ich es großartig. Für mich ist es neben Left 4 Dead und Vermintide der beste Horden-Shooter.
巴巴大捏
Left 4 Dead except I genuinely hear specialist noises in my sleep
Bom jogo, quem gosta do universo de warhammer vai gostar desse jogo
One of the best 4 player Co op games out there Still not as good as Left for dead A fun time nonetheless
My machine pet dog is pretty cool
JOGÃO BÃO SÔ
Erstens. Das spiel macht spaß. Level system im endgame. Teilweise Free content und immer neue Missionen zu spielen. Das Gameplay und Trefferfeedback ist genial. Nur mich stört der Echtgeldshop. Ich selbst habe da viel ausgegeben aber nur da gibt es die guten Skins. Dafür gibt es den Downvote. Fatshark sollte dort: A. Missionen erstellen bei denen man geringe mengen an Echtgeld Währung erspielen kann. (ähnlich Helldivers 2) B. Bessere Customization für die Skins. Farbe, Tarnung etc. Wenn einem die Skins egal ist kann er im Sale für ein 10er getrost zugreifen. Es ist definitiv das Schwerere Left 4 dead (2).
I understand what they tried to do and it's really not a bad idea. "You've met the best, now meet the rest" sort of thing, which is not a bad try, but it falls flat, it doesn't feel well tied together. The "internet-ness", the superficial feeling of it all leaves the game flat. The music is probably the best part, it works well. The soundbites are actually quite decent too. Good sound effects try hard to make this otherwise mediocre, unoptimized frame-dropping game better. But it rings hollow when the characters and the animations are so stiff. Reminds me of The Old Republic a bit, equally stiff. And what, I can only carry 1 ranged weapon and 1 melee weapon? Seriously? What is this, budget cuts? Recommended only for 10 euros, which is what it's worth. Play the slop and then forget.
