L’air est irrespirable, une brume toxique flotte au-dessus des ruines d’un Hive City en pleine décomposition. Autour de vous, des masses informes d’hérétiques corrompus avancent en hurlant, brandissant des armes rouillées et des symboles impies. Votre bolter est presque vide, votre psyker commence à avoir un regard inquiétant, et votre Ogryn de confiance ? Il est déjà parti cogner quelque chose.

Bienvenue dans Warhammer: Darktide, où l’Empereur ne vous protège pas… mais où il compte sur vous pour faire le ménage à coups de Chainsword et de grenades. Vous n’êtes pas un héros, vous n’êtes même pas un soldat. Vous êtes un banni, un rebut, un criminel que l’Imperium a jugé plus utile en première ligne que dans une cellule. Et pourtant, à force de tir bien placés, de coups de pelle désespérés et d’un brin de miracle (ou de folie), vous et votre escouade allez peut-être survivre un jour de plus.

Car après tout, "The Emperor does not need you to understand! Only to obey!" ☠️

Et si jamais vous doutez encore, souvenez-vous des mots éternels de l’Imperium : "There is only war."

The emperor protects

I'll spend one hour learning about Warhammer lore for every like this review gets

Skill gap is insane.

"Duty is vital, understanding is not..."

Sounds like every f-ing job I've ever had!

Is this "cooperative horde-hacking" game a chore to play? No. But it's also not one of the most addictive co-op/multiplayer games I've experienced; definitely no Left 4 Dead 2, and not even a match for this game's most direct and obvious predecessors, Vermintide and Vermintide 2. But sure: it's basically those games, but in the world of Warhammer 40K (so much the same thing, but with MORE TECHNOLOGY and MORE GUNS...but still a fair emphasis on MELEE COMBAT)!

And there's no end of upgrading/skill trees/cosmetic nonsense for those obsessed by such things. Me: I'll always prefer the jump-in/jump-out nature of Left 4 Dead...but each to their own.

Probably a no-brainer for fans of 40K who also happen to enjoy these types of games; though I wouldn't especially recommend it without at least one friend, as it's hardly designed to be single-player (but if you're happy to run about with three bots, be my guest)!

Neither adds anything to the "genre", or takes anything away. Is what it is, by this particular stage of gaming evolution. FOR THE EMPEROR!

Verdict: 8/10.

john warhammer cannot be contained

Played a bit, it`s ok

Really good practice for when i go into Constitution square in Athens! (it is full of albanians and gypsys)

No way to play solo, forced to play with randoms if you don't have 3 people to play with. I just want to go at my own pace without my team sprinting away from me at the speed of light.

Forced multiplayer matchmaking. You can't make a private game to play by yourself like you could in other games like Vermintide.
