A single sword swing will scythe them down by the dozen, which makes the melee combat feel oddly weightless and unsatisfying. The problem, however, is that the Skaven simply aren't a menacing adversary, despite the armor and pointy objects. A single sword swing will scythe Skaven down by the dozen. Watch the official release trailer above. None of the characters or their exchanges are quite as memorable as those between L4D's Louis and Francis, for instance, but they do keep reminding you of what an oddball group you've got around you.
Warhammer has always trafficked in archetypes, so as you’d expect, you'll find a haughty elf assassin (whose quick hands with a bow make her the party's Legolas-style machine gunner) trading barbs with a religious dual-pistol wielding Witch Hunter and a jolly, bloody-minded dwarf. Gothic architecture, narrow winding streets, crumbling monuments, and a terrifying and beautiful night sky all bring the setting to life, while strong vocal performances do the same for the characters. Tasks range from the pleasantly mundane, like making a high-stakes food run to make sure your stronghold doesn't starve, to the more bizarre and fanciful, like climbing a wizard's bizarre and beautiful tower to ask for a favor. They retreat to a heavily fortified inn that becomes their base of operations for the campaign (the entire setup seems like a nod to Shaun of the Dead) and begin their counterattack against the Skaven invasion. A gang of other Warhammer heroes, each with unique and nicely-complementary class abilities, arrive in the medieval city of Ubersreik just as a Skaven rat-man army bursts into the city. Vermintide certainly makes a great first impression, steeped in deliciously overdone Warhammer fantasy flavor. The entire setup seems like a nod to Shaun of the Dead.
