Warhammer: Vermintide II
Games Like Left 4 Dead if You’re Looking for Something Similar
The universe of Warhammer is a vast and varied one, so it’s little surprise someone managed to craft a solid Left 4 Dead clone from its lore. Set in the End Times of the universe, this sequel to the first iteration follows the Heroes of Ubersreik as they battle their way through the Clan Fester hordes and their allies the Rotbloods. Wielding magic, melee and ranged weapons, and an array of different items and abilities, players must battle their way through one wave of mythical monstrosities after the next, trying to find a way to survive and take on the day’s next mission.
The fantasy elements of the game offer a nice twist on the more realistic setting of Left 4 Dead, but still maintain the sense of being overwhelmed by an absurd number of enemies should the player’s strategies fall apart. Likewise, the game incorporates a leveling and progression system that offers even more variety to situations. Sometimes, levels will be a cakewalk thanks to the player’s overwhelming strength; other times, they’ll be at a heavy disadvantage to higher-leveled enemies, necessitating careful planning among them and their party. It’s a game that’s easy to lose yourself in, and having only been released recently, it’ll only get better from here.
