If you’ve ever found yourself deeply engrossed in a cooperative game, you likely understand the challenge of rallying friends to join the adventure. For those who have felt this particular frustration with Warhammer Vermintide 2, there’s a silver lining: the game is currently available for free on Steam until November 24. This offer includes the base game, while the extensive array of downloadable content (DLC) that followed its launch is being offered at a significant discount, making it an enticing opportunity for newcomers.
While some may assume that the gaming community has shifted its focus to the Warhammer 40,000-themed successor, Darktide, Vermintide 2 continues to thrive. In fact, just last week, the game introduced a new free level, demonstrating its ongoing commitment to engaging players. According to data from SteamDB, the game consistently attracts several thousand concurrent players daily, a testament to its enduring popularity.
Critical Acclaim and Gameplay
Recognized as one of the best co-op games of 2018, Vermintide 2 has garnered praise for its exhilarating gameplay. In a review by PC Gamer, writer Steven Messner described it as “gleefully gory,” highlighting its exceptional combat mechanics and level design. Drawing inspiration from the classic Left 4 Dead series, the game invites players to navigate the post-apocalyptic ruins of the Warhammer Fantasy universe, battling hordes of rat-like foes in a visceral first-person experience.
As you gather your friends for this cooperative escapade, remember to strategize and work together—after all, teamwork is essential to avoid any untimely demises in this chaotic world.
