At first glance, it's a L4D clone with some melee combat thrown in.

The reality though, is that the combat is so amazingly well executed that even after 500+ hours I still love wading into combat and it requires every bit of skill to stay alive whilst slashing down hordes of rats, dodging the swings of black rats, quick-switching to your gun to snipe a Globadier before quick-switching back just in time to block the heavy sword swing that was about to decapitate you. Unlike some other similar games that have your running the same mission over and over, this one never feels like you're running on auto-pilot, one ill-timed dodge or block is all it takes to end up face down praying to Sigmar for a revive.

All the additional fluff in the game, the gear, cosmetics, challenges etc are great in their own way. Working through all the challenges for each level and class provides a nice extra incentive and sense of achievement.

Each character class provides a unique way to play and the talents available to each class allow you to customise it to fit with your favourite weapons and play style. If you're the kind that loves to min-max builds, there is a mountain of potential here.
