The general sentiment in the reviews is overall positive toward the melee combat system and the game’s ability to capture the Warhammer fantasy atmosphere. However, there are substantial criticisms aimed at game bugs, DLC pricing policies, and technical issues. Appreciation for challenging gameplay varies among players, with some finding it frustrating due to a steep learning curve. Cooperative play is highly enjoyable, especially with friends, but solo players often find the experience less satisfying due to inconsistent bot performance and overall game difficulty.

Positive Points

  • The melee combat is praised for being weighty, visceral, and deeply satisfying.

  • The game includes robust multiplayer experiences and supportive community interactions.

    • Negative Points

  • Numerous players report issues with bugs, crashes, and connection problems that affect gameplay.
  • Several complaints about misleading or excessively priced DLCs that lock significant content behind paywalls.

  • Anticheat software has compatibility issues, particularly affecting Linux users and creating barriers to entry.

    • Mixed Points

  • While some players appreciate the game's challenging difficulty curve, others feel the learning curve is steep and not well-explained in-game.
  • Some enjoy the roguelike Chaos Wastes expansions, but others are dissatisfied with the randomized difficulty spikes.
  • The game's humor and character banter are well-liked, but not all players appreciate the style of humor in character interactions.

    • Common Themes

  • Many reviews compare the game favorably to other cooperative shooter games like Left 4 Dead, often referring to it as a medieval or fantasy version.
  • The community is engaged and generally perceived as supportive, although the interaction with online players can vary.
