Description

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.

Space Marine 2 got me into the warhammer verse, and this game just pulled me in deeper. If you never played a warhammer game but you like horde games or just challenging games in general. you'll fall in love with this

Quite fun if you have a group of friends to play with, which is the only reason for the positive review. If you've played Vermintide, Darktide is a 40K skin. If you've played Left 4 Dead, Darktide is also kinda just a

Great game, amazing graphics, beautiful environments, never a dull moment, and always on your toes. The way my friends describe it as "L4D but on crack" and they aren't wrong! Though some things do need attention. The

Warhammer 40k: Darktide —(49 hrs Steam + Xbox time) Darktide nails the WH40K atmosphere better than almost any game out there. The hive city feels filthy, oppressive, alive — exactly how the Imperium’s worst corners

I don't even know much about warhammer, but this game freakin' SLAPS! ESPECIALLY with friends. If you are like me and really haven't done much with Warhammer, it's a better successor to Left 4 Dead gameplay than Back 4

For the Emperor! If you get this game on sale, it's very worth it and pairs well with Space Marine 2. The general feel and mobility of Darktide is arguably better too (though this is definitely a matter of preference).
