This is the offer: You can currently get Vermintide 2 80% off, for €5.59 instead of €27.99. The offer is only valid for a short time and ends on November 2nd.
At the same time, the Halloween event “Secret Night” is currently taking place in the game. There you have to interrupt special rituals and receive exclusive cosmetic rewards. The event runs until November 5th and also provides double XP for the duration.
In addition, the newest class, the Necromancer, was recently released as a specialization for the magician Sienna Fuegonasus, a paid DLC. As a necromancer you send the living dead into the field against your enemies. Many DLCs and expansions are also currently reduced.
Here you can see the necromancer in action:
Shredding rats in a fantasy setting – who is Vermintide 2 worth it for?
Vermintide 2 is most fun when you can play it with friends. It is ideal if you all have roughly the same level of knowledge so that no one is overwhelmed or under-challenged and you learn together. Making yourself “worse” is almost impossible in Vermintide 2.
However, the game is aimed primarily at players with a high tolerance for frustration. A single mistake can cause your entire party to suddenly be wiped out, even on low difficulties.
On the other hand, the adrenaline rush of slaughtering through the hordes of rat people is similar to that in Diablo-like ARPGs, only with slightly nicer graphics. You can find a more detailed check here: Who is Vermintide 2 actually worth it for?
If you’re not that into the fantasy setting, you can also play the sequel Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. There you play in the dark future and can even create your own character in one of four classes.
After initial problems, Darktide has received a major overhaul of the classes and talents and now ensures entertaining gameplay. You can also get the game in Game Pass for PC and Xbox at no additional cost. You can find more tips here:
