Love Vermintide 2, is this game anything like it combat wise?

[GLM]

I'm honestly baffled I didn't find this sooner, like it seems tottaly up my alley given what I've seen, but nevertheless that kinda raised my expectations for this game.

So from what I've seen this is like a faster version of the VT2 combat (more scaled to a single player of course and with no 1 hit disablers), which honestly got me kinda hyped up, am I right in my evaluation? I already bought it and I honestly can't wait to smash some skulls while listening to some Metal.

Besides that how is the soundtrack? I'm thinking of listening to some Powerwolf while playing it, but there were some high praises of the game's soundtrack as well.

If you like Vermintide you'll probably like. Definitely more fluid combat in this. Some light puzzles, traps, and platforming. Cool atmosphere.

OST is good.

On sale right now 100% worth it.

Hitting enemies with a hammer sets them flying - that's exactly what i wanted
I loved the combat in Vermintide but i'm not really a multiplayer kind of guy.

No its like dark messiah of might and magic. Which believe me is an amazing thing to be like/strive for.

[Shaggs]

It's better than Vermintide.

Hah I was literally JUST typing the same post but luckily saw yours. I love the melee combat in VT1/2, and this seemed to scratch the same itch, but less horde-y and more Dark Messiah. Gonna have to check a few videos but seems promising.

Q: Is there much replayability, or just the 7-8 hours of a single story playthrough then you're done?

Q: How is it with keyboard+mouse?

If you want a singleplayer adventure that has a similar combat feel to Vermintide, than yeah.

Its made for keyboard & mouse.

The fountain 'respawn' combined with the experience system means whatever environs you find yourself in, you can crush and hack and cleave your enemies over & over again, whilst making progress. That is, doing so has a long-term point. Love it.

Thanks for the info! I'll likely pick 'er up on the next sale or when I'm in the mood for some fps carnage

To much pressure to do well and pay attention at all times, we need more single player games like it.

I bought it, thanks for all the recommendations and advice!

EDIT: After 4 hours I beat the game, so I can offer a bit more detail for any future searchers of this thread. Short version is if you like Vermintide 2 you'll like this game. The dodge dancing is very similar, with some of the 1-handed weapons feeling like the Elf, whereas the 2-handed feels like Kruber. Enemies are varied and interesting, and although the stamina system isn't as robust or shown to the user, it's still there, and the ability to kick and interrupt is quite fun and puts a spin on the formula.
