THQ Warhammer: The End Times - Vermintide

Vermintide takes place in Ubersreik, a city overrun by Skaven, a race of ruthless ratmen. You assume the role of one of five heroes, each with a different playstyle, various abilities, and distinct equipment and personality. You must cooperatively utilize the individual traits of the heroes to survive an apocalyptic invasion of Skaven hordes. Battles occur in various environments, from the top of the Magnus Tower to the depths of the Under-Empire.

The time of mortals is over. The reign of Chaos is drawing ever closer. The dark gods are ultimately united in their goal to spread their madness across the world like never before. In Sigmar's Empire, Karl Franz's gaze is fixed on the invasion of the wild northerners, but that is not the only threat. As the Chaos moon Morrslieb waxes, shrill voices echo through tunnels dug deep beneath the cities of the Empire, and an army of Skaven pushes to the surface. It first emerges in the city of Ubersreik; a hideous, screeching mass that destroys everything in its path. Soon, Ubersreik becomes a city of corpses, sunk in the malignant shadow of the Horned Rat.

Yet even in the darkest times, there are always champions to illuminate the way. As Ubersreik cowers, five heroes brought together by a twist of fate lead the fight against the ratmen. It remains to be seen whether they have the strength to survive and can work together long enough to stop the invaders. One truth, however, stands above all doubt: should these five fail, Ubersreik will fall with them.
