Vermintide dropped in 2015 and became one of the games people point to when they explain why Left 4 Dead never really got a proper heir. Fatshark built a four-player co-op shooter and melee brawler set in the Warhammer Fantasy world, right at the moment the End Times storyline was tearing that setting apart. The city of Ubersreik is drowning in Skaven, a horde of rat-men that swarm from sewers and rooftops alike, and your job is to hold the line with four other people who each bring something different to the fight. This Collector’s Edition bundles that base experience for anyone who wants in on the ground floor of a series that’s still talked about years later.

How it plays

You pick one of five heroes, each with a distinct personality and their own reasons for still being alive in a city that’s falling apart. From there it’s mission-based co-op: you and up to three friends push through one of thirteen levels, fighting from the top of the Magnus Tower down into the tunnels of the Under Empire. Combat mixes melee weapons like swords and hammers with ranged options like bows and firearms, and the enemy spawns are dynamic rather than scripted, so a hallway that was quiet a minute ago can suddenly turn into a chokepoint fight against a pack of clanrats or one of the nastier specialized enemies. Finish a mission and you roll loot dice for weapons, hats, and trinkets, with side objectives improving your odds. If your squad is short a player, AI bots fill in, and you can drop in or out without breaking the run.

Who it’s for

This is built for people who like tense, skill-based co-op where teamwork actually matters instead of just being a marketing bullet point. If you enjoyed the rhythm of Left 4 Dead, holding a defensive position while the horde builds, then breaking to loot and push forward, this scratches the same itch with a melee-heavy twist. Warhammer fans get an added layer of appeal since the story ties into a genuinely pivotal moment in that universe’s lore. It’s less interesting if you don’t have people to play with regularly, since the tension relies on coordinating with a live team, and it’s not the game for someone looking for a slow, story-driven single-player campaign.

Is it worth it?

For a co-op group that’s going to actually sit down together and grind through levels, gear, and difficulty spikes, this is the kind of game that earns back its cost many times over in hours played. It’s an older title at this point, which works in its favor on sale: the core loop has aged well, the Warhammer setting still holds up, and there’s a real sense of lineage in playing the game that helped define this genre before its sequel became the bigger name. If you’re curious about the series or want the original before jumping into anything newer, grabbing this while it’s discounted is a low-risk way to find out if the format clicks for your group.
