From the developers of the best-selling and award-winning franchise Vermintide, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is a visceral 4-player co-op action game set in the hive city of Tertium. Fight together with your friends against hordes of enemies in this new Warhammer 40,000 experience.
About the story
In the depths of the hive, the seeds of corruption threaten an overwhelming tide of darkness. A heretical cult known as the Admonition seeks to seize control of the planet Atoma Prime and lay waste to its inhabitants. It is up to you and your allies in the Inquisition to root out the enemy before the city succumbs to Chaos.

Critic Reviews
The Jimquisition
By James Stephanie SterlingWarhammer 40,000: Darktide has a solid foundation that just needs more built atop it. Slaughtering legions of Chaos freaks is fun for a while, and the in-game chatter between characters is surprisingly funny to the point I was invested far more than I otherwise would’ve been. Sadly, the unbalanced classes and poorly paced missions, plus a complete lack of incentive to play after hitting the level cap stop it short of what one wants from a horde shooter.
Console-Tribe
By Donato MarchisielloDarktide for Xbox is an excellent product available at a great price (or even free on Game Pass). Fatshark's significant improvements enhance some core aspects of the game. While the gameplay remains repetitive and has some technical issues, these are acceptable given the launch price. A good cooperative shooter balancing strategy and dynamism, it's particularly challenging at higher difficulties.
DarkZero
By Ian HowarthAll of All of these details come together to form a fairly lifeless game – one with all the fixings and foundation of another epic showcase but without any of the polish or love that is so evident in the team's previous undertaking.
MonsterVine
By Diego EscalaWarhammer 40k: Darktide is hard to recommend, even a month after release. There’s a good game here, but it’s burdened by issues I’m sure will be fixed after a few major updates; the only question is whether or not you’re willing to deal with it until then.
BaziCenter
By فرزان میهن زادهWarhammer 40000: Darktide shows a lot of raw talent but needs more polish and much more content in order to become a solid co-op experience. Nevertheless, if you are a fan of the Warhammer universe you will definitely find something to love here.
