Your player character, regardless of choice, will start as a prisoner aboard a transport which is attacked by followers of a chaos god. Each class has their strengths and weaknesses, some more obvious than others when you look at some of the characters physical characteristics, the Ogryn being obviously a giant tank and the Psyker being very squishy but quite capable of dealing damage. Every character also will gain an aura ability that helps the party such as damage reduction, deal more damage and so on. I play a zealot and my primary ability is a charge towards an enemy and replenish my “toughness” which is the armor/shield resource. The feat system will serve as your talent book and is what will serve as your way to understand how much stronger you become. In-game mechanics can cause your health and shield to also be whittled down in such as essentially being cursed by “grimoires” and other items that diminish your maximum health as a penalty for picking them up and increased your end mission rewards. Most of these words will mean nothing to you just know that each has their own unique features and abilities.Īll classes make sure of a regenerating shield as well as health that incurs damage once your shield drops. The characters you choose from this time around are Human Veteran, Human Zealot a Human Psyker and an Ogryn.

You will also learn to block and learn your characters abilities and skills such as what sort of Grenades you can use but it’s very basic to catch on. They seem simple but this is a horde game where the only skills you need are to shoot, slash and move.

If you’ve never played Vermintide or its sequel then worry not, because Darktide puts you in an intro mission as soon as you finish creating your character to Introduce you to the primary aspects of the game which are shoot, slash and movement. It is another first-person action game set in the 40K universe where gods exist, emperors live forever, and war is the only solution to anything, and everything can and will occur. Warhammer 40K: Darktide is a successor to Fatshark’s previous games from the Warhammer franchise Vermintide and Vermintide 2. Let’s just start this off the proper way by saying “Long Live the Emperor”.
