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.

After a few years and many updates this game is finally fun to play, which is sad considering the setting they had to begin with it should have been a banger right from the start. That said the gunplay feels heavy and punchy now, melee now decimates the cannon fodder and the feedback you get while doing it is rewarding. Classes have been reworked and feel useful instead of being generic. The one thing though is they didn't keep their word regarding content so that does leave a sour taste even if the game now is leagues better than at launch
no scoreboard? NO SCOREBOARD? here? in game like that? no scoreboard? oh i see... somebody wants to play a moral compas again... f***** classic.. i cant see if this build is better then the last.. i cant tell if im better then i was.. i cant see if somebody is a good player.. i cant see s***.. but hey! my brittle feelings are intact.. now i maybe wont suicide! thank you soooo much.. now lets go back to Vermintide

no crashes for me, and the game looks good.... just not good enough to justify running so poorly. i don't have the greatest computer of all time anymore but i was still disappointed by the middling performance, especially at high difficulties. i've never played vermintide 2 so i don't have a frame of reference as far as melee horde shooter games go, but the moment to moment gameplay here is pretty incredible. 7 classes with at least 3 build archetypes each.... yeah, there's a lot to do here. the skill ceiling is pretty high too, i can tell people get really technical in this game so if you enjoy stuff like that you'll have a lot of fun. mission variety is lacking though. already i've memorised most of the maps and i forsee myself growing bored of playing the same missions over and over within like 50-80 more hours or so. i must stress again that the actual gameplay is so phenomenal that it carries the whole experience. i'm willing to overlook all the flaws even with the microtransactions just of how good the gameplay feels.
