Since I've beaten the game once I think I'm ready to review the game. This game scratches that Dark Souls itch pretty well, my main builds are always STR/FTH in the Souls games, and I can pretty comfortably apply most concepts and skills here such as parrying, poise, and etc. Also the fashion souls are immaculate, honestly they surpass any of the other souls games imo, cause of the variety of styles of armor and the ability to changes the tints, hues, and colors of every single armor piece. Being an enjoyer of particularly Bloodborne also adds another element of fun/depth because, similar to Bloodborne's trick weapon transformation attack which in many cases is a strong/light attack chain combo which fluidly transitions to 1h>2h stance or 2h>1h stance (or basic form into trick form), this game has 1h>2h and 2h>1h transitions which are smooth and change up what I can do.

The Pvp is fine enough, there are some unbalanced things which you can encounter and the team is working on them. Every kind of build seems viable, and build counters do exist (think magic overpowers ranged builds, melee overpowers magic builds, and ranged overpowers melee builds). A few radiance spells (or faith-based magicks) are buggy, particularly anything that is comparable to a laser are currently overpowered, because when invading cross-plat, of course there are a few FPS drops dependent on the connection to the host. So any laser (which normally you could just chain dodge until they stop) will hit every damage tick on you, even if in your POV he is blasting a wall for 5 seconds.

However, my cooperative multiplayer experience is very different (unless I'm co-oping cross-plat), in my experience I had 1 bug encounter during the entire playthrough, and it caused me to be unable to move unless I'm dodging to get around. Besides that singular instance (which was resolved by leaving the world and reconnecting really quick) my connection was surprisingly very stable, didn't encounter a single FPS issue. The cooperation was seamless, if you downed a boss you don't get unsummoned, if you died you don't get unsummoned, if you beat the boss/progress to the next area you don't get unsummoned, and if the host dies you don't get unsummoned (but you do restart from the last bonfire/camp you encountered).

The world of this game is very pretty, the graphics are great, the gameplay loop is very fun, the fashion is top-tier, and the combat is amazing. Tbh, it was everything I wanted in a Dark Souls III that I didn't get from Dark Souls III.

TLDR; If you like Dark Souls, and aren't afraid of challenge (which surprisingly many players are?) definitely buy this game. It's worth every penny.

This game is good, every class is enjoyable and while somewhat buggy, I'm writing this review at the end of the BETA. Fatshark is a gaming studio I trust, and this is definitely a quality product from them. Any issues people have about this game through comparison to Vermintide shouldn't be paid any mind imo. You can rest assured this game will be continuously updated and improved consistently, just like Vermintide was. Fatshark studios is pretty reliable and listens to the communities of it's games, for the better.


FOR THE EMPEROR, YOU HERETICS.

Best Co-Operative experience I've ever had, even my friends whom hate "top-down" games are enjoying this game. Also this is by far the BEST twin-stick shooter I've ever played and the DLC bundle was worth every penny. Although I got the game for free from HumbleBundle, I enjoy it so much that I bought and gifted around 6 copies of the game.

Great game and great combat system. Perfect game for Co-Op play with the boys on a Saturday night after a few brewskis!

It's a great game and all-time classic.

One of my favorite all time games! Multiplayer is still somewhat active too! Many invaders and phantoms.

I played back on xb360 and it was great! It's actually cross platform with the 360 version and is still pretty awesome if you can find a lobby! GFWL works GREAT, I literally don't understand how people "can't run it", it's all ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. GFWL works fine and because of it, I can play with my old pals on xbox360 that still use it. AKRID HUNTER if you can get it going is INSANELY FUN!

I paid $20 for this game, and I'd do it again just to give it to a friend. This game is amazing, it captures the atmosphere of the Warhammer 40k universe in it's entirety. I had difficulty in single player mode, having to command my AI allies to do everything with hotkeys, but, when I played with my friends it feels really good. It has a nice difficulty, and is incredibly fun. If you're like one of my friends, you may pick up the game and say "man this game ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks!" after dying 2 times in a row, right in the beginning, but if you give it a fair shot I think you, and many others may really enjoy this game. The in game customization options are pretty good, you can earn different character skins, weapon skins, armor and weapon modifications, character perks, and banners. Nothing is P2W, you earn everything. There's plenty of this game to enjoy, and I think the devs did an AMAZING job. Highly Recommend to anyone who enjoys a good challenge and purging Xenos Scum with your Battle-Brothers!

Personally I don't really like this game. I understand the message but all in all it's very unrealistic and way too anecdotal. It seems the people who made the game regret not being there for someone before he/she killed herself, so they made this game.

So, I'm gonna keep this short and sweet, it's a pretty fun card game tbh, and the entire playerbase isn't 8 years old (like you might expect). Unfortunately the game is a P2P masking itself as a F2P. You can't even get through the first world without encountering a paywall blocking over half the availiable content. Overall if you down money on this game, good for you, you might have some fun. If you want a F2P game, this isn't it.
