I reviewed this for PCGamesN[www.pcgamesn.com] and gave it a 5/10. There's lots to love about the setting, the comedic asides from enemies, and some of the expanded movesets you can unlock for the four pre-made characters. But make no mistake: this is a broken game that will frustrate you and waste your time.

Enemy leveling is incoherent: there's no way to tell whether a trash mob is going to fall over in a couple hits or tank tons of damage and potentially one-shot kill you. Hitboxes are nowhere near the models on screen. Gear and stat adjustments make no difference in terms of how you approach the game, which doesn't change at all over the course of 21 campaign missions + dungeons.

The levels themselves are occasionally interesting but ultimately they're all linear corridors that will sometimes stall you with a fight in a wider arena area. Most of these, it turns out, are entirely optional - you can run through straight to the end of most levels without fighting at all if you want to.

Bosses are boring - they're mostly repurposed, larger versions of the handful of enemy types you encounter ad nauseam through the rest of the missions, just granted huge health pools and additional magic attacks in some cases. Don't worry though, since they'll only occasionally take note of your presence, and at no point will they attempt to avoid any environmental hazards that might be in their area.

This is just an unfinished, broken game. If you want to play co-op, pick up Vermintide, Deep Rock Galactic, or even Outriders.
