Hard Recommend. If Borderlands, Deep Rock Galactic & Vermintide 2 had a baby this would be it.
And to top it off its in the WH 40k universe.

I am running this game on a 1050 ti 4vram GPU which is under minimum recommended settings.
gives me an average of 25 fps at most during heavy combat and 30-60 fps in the Hub on mostly low settings which is painful but the gameplay, atmosphere and the music (Composed by the Han Zimmer of Video Game music Jesper Kyd himself of Borderlands fame) is way too addicting. I could probably start a Diesel locomotive faster than it would take for my GPU to boot up this game but its so worth it.
Jesper Kyd doing the music and playing Vermintide 2 was more than enough to convince me to buy this game.

I do have a few complaints though which are more QoL related.
-No Single Player option, you must play with bots, other players or not at all. They teased Singleplayer before release and have still not added it and the matchmaking overall feels worse than it was in Vermintide 2.

- Onto my first point, the bots can be a little well how do I say this. . . . Under the 'Ogryn' side of the thinking spectrum which is to say more stupid than a karking servitor.
They do auto-teleport when they need to be present for a transition and they are probably more efficent at reviving than most teammates because they will run to you with reckless abandon just to revive you.

-Stat confusion and lack of direction. Coming out of Vermintide 2 I already know how allot of the mechanics work with the stats but to someone that just bought the game the Perks and Blessing stats can feel very overwelming. How is a newcomer supposed to know what the difference between Rending and Brittleness is? This was also a Complaint with Vermintide 2, its not a huge deal but adding a Hover bar that elaborates the difference between stats like Rending, Brittleness, Power, Strength. would go a long way.

-General lack of priority with the Devs. I feel as if the devs are not Prioritizing the right things when they need to. New Difficulty and Classes are cool and awesome but if you can't fix the matchmaking and add singleplayer like you promised it adds uncertainty into the minds of your playerbase. Making the 5th class 10 bucks seems a little steep but its not unheard of. I just hope they put the Arbites on half off every once in awhile


Overall this game is a hard recommend. If you like grinding for items, Skilltrees and just karking amazing gameplay and gunplay this game is a major recommend.
The feeling of removing a heretics existing privilege with a 19mm Bolt pistol while wielding a sabre was a feeling I needed for so long.
