I can't EVER trust fatshark again after what they did with this game and their own reputation. Its lacking so many features that vermintide 2 had ON RELEASE. Dont be fooled either THIS GAME IS EARLY ACCESS!!! It should never have had a full launch its honestly embarrassing and the entirety of fatshark should be ashamed. They call this a full game when we can just look at vermintide 2 and what that had on its launch this game is a joke.

This developer/publisher's greed and ego got too big for its own good and they pushed a cosmetic cash shop out as soon as they could before they had a good game while using infuriating penances which are challenges that have players do obscure things that troll their team to unlock lack luster cosmetics so you're pushed to either grief your own team or into buying the far better looking cosmetics from that cash shop. The shop also relied on rotating fomo mechanics and they gave the lamest excuse saying its because the UI would get too ugly and crowded....HELLO???? YOU DESIGNED THE UI!!! PLENTY OF OTHER GAMES CAN MANAGE JUST FINE!!!

The most frustrating thing about it all is the gameplay is pretty solid and fun, the art direction is great and would have been excellent if it had been released as an early access title and they had not tried to push their cosmetics out in this unfinished mess. It was completely mishandled and you won't be missing anything by passing on this title. This is just another example of a publisher looking at their consumers as an obstacle to our wallets, forgetting the consumer actually needs to enjoy the product for us to want to give them more of our money.

Unless they can work some miracle to repair the damage they have done to this game and their reputation all i can say in the end is **STAY AWAY FROM FATSHARK!!!!**
