But first... let me take a selfie

Babe, would you still love me if I was a worm?

Except he's going full auto.

exactly 5 years after crab rave, Noisestorm has returned to put "G" on the raveyard sign.
So time to give it some tenants! Grab your favourite weapon of mass destruction and become the crustacean sensation!

Fast paced, third-person roguelike shooter with banging music. And it's a real blast to play!
This game is not just a meme! You're missing out on one of the most fun games of the year!

Fatshark has outdone themselves when it comes to the core gameplay, the absolutely stunning environments and incredible atmosphere followed up by a banging soundtrack!

There are however a lot of issues that really need to be addressed as this is NOT a finished game.

• Stability issues seem to have worsened compared to the early launch beta.
  
• Glaring problems with performance.
  
• Some talents either don't work or don't work as described.
  
• Having all crafting materials/weekly contract currency separate for each character.
  
• Crafting system still barely implemented in what they call a FULL release.
  
• Some promised weapons are still missing.

It feels like a lot of focus went on choosing to implement a fully functional rotating micro transaction shop rather than focusing on things that matter to the player. on top of that it uses a currency that can only be purchased with real money in a €40 game.

This all being said I have faith that Fatshark will address most of these issues... eventually. Releasing a game far before it's ready has always seem to be Fatshark's MO. The Vermintide games were also unfinished upon release and with Vermintide 2 Fatshark pulled through and created an amazing game there and I hope they will do the same here!
They have already changed the way weapons display their information and it's better than anything we could have ever hoped for! ...except don't fiddle around with it too much or you'll upset the machine spirit and crash to desktop.

I personally love the game despite all of its flaws. But if you're not a huge 40K fan or a big fan of the Vermintide games I would recommend you wait until Fatshark fixes a lot of the issues.

Good luck out there rejects!

Edit:
After reading the interview with pcgamer https://www.pcgamer.com/we-dont-want-to-be-predatorydarktide-devs-explain-why-they-switched-to-an-in-game-currency-to-sell-cosmetics/
I have chosen to change my review from positive to negative.
I can ignore in game premium cosmetic shops with scummy monetization schemes but hearing all the corporate bs in the interview about how they didn't want to be predatory has changed my mind.
This is honestly a new low for Fatshark. Tencent or not.

Fix your game. Add what's promised. THEN think about premium shops.

To peck or not to peck. That's the question.

Came for the music, stayed cause I'm a FOOOOOOOOOL without a soul.

Melee focused left 4 dead. If that scares you don't worry, you can cheese out infinite ammo builds as well!
Great cast of characters
Tons and tons of rats/rotbloods waiting to be slain! Play with gore on and let the blood cover your screen!
Some minor spawn bugs (hordes spawning in view) but those are few!
Been loving it for hundreds of hours and still going!
Winds of magic brought the addition of beastmen making the game significantly harder as well as an extra difficulty.

Zealot is too faithfull to die! <3
Praise Sigmar!
