Story and Characters
The game Warhammer: Vermintide 2 takes place in a Warhammer universe during the early End Times and continues the events from the first game, Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide. The main antagonist of the previous title, Rasknitt, managed to kidnap the five heroes of the city Ubersreik which then fell under Rasknitt’s and his ratmen command. Since then he ordered to build the portal known as Skittergate to summon the Chaos Champion, Bödvarr Ribspreader, and his chaos army following Nurgle, the God of Pestilence. However, the portal breaks down, and only a portion of the army is summoned. Ratmen try to activate the portal once more, but it fails again, this time creating a series of ground shakes, unintentionally freeing the kidnapped Ubersreik heroes from captivity.
Now they are the only thing standing between the Empire and the evil alliance of the Skaven ratmen and the Warriors of Chaos. They will need to fight together, slashing through the hordes of enemies to destroy the portal and defeat the Rasknitt once and for all.
Gameplay and game modes
Warhammer: Vermintide 2 can be played in a single-player mode where the player teams up with bots, but it is strongly approved to play with real people in online cooperation mode, chiefly on higher complication, where enemies are much smarter, stronger, and provide a much bigger challenge.
The game focuses on developing a player’s character and building up his Hero Power. Heroes can gain levels which decipher access to additional hero careers (specializations), talents and reward the player with loot boxes. Heroes can also be equipped with a set of items – melee and distance weapons, necklaces, charms, and trinkets. Each item comes in one of the five rarities. Higher rarities provide additional bonuses in the form of properties and powerful traits, which further increase the Hero Power. Once the player reaches one of the Hero Power breakpoints, he will unlock higher difficulty levels with stronger enemies and even better loot.
Reception
Warhammer Vermintide 2 received very positive reviews with over 1 million copies sold after a month from PC release, and was a warmly welcomed sequel to the Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide with advancement upon almost every aspect of the original title.
Reviewers praised combat mechanics, top-notch visuals, high-quality audio, well-made detailed maps, funny conversations between heroes, and the good optimization, thanks to which the game runs smoothly even on weaker computers.
