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 personalities. 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 is focused on the invasion of the wild Norsemen, but that is not the only threat. As the Chaos Moon Morrslieb waxes, shrill voices echo through tunnels that have been 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 horrific, screeching mass that destroys everything in its path. Soon, Ubersreik becomes a city of corpses, sunk in the malevolent shadow of the Horned Rat.

Yet even in the darkest times, there are always champions to light the way. As Ubersreik hunkers down, 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 halt the invaders. One truth, however, is beyond doubt: should these five fail, Ubersreik will fall with them.
