Warhammer 40,000: Darktide review: Exciting co-op action that blends cosmic sci-fi with fantasy horror

Let’s hope you don’t run out of grenades when a mass of undead flesh caterwauls its arrival

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide flings you headfirst into a war-ravaged distant future where humans are losing the fight to armies of the undead.

The depraved enemies that lurk in this industrial hellscape range from giant bile-spewing slugs to menacing horned apparitions that appear and disappear in a plume of green smoke. Then, there are the hordes of zombie foot soldiers that attack in a sprawling mass of rotting flesh. Upon hearing their caterwaul, you better drop whatever it is you’re doing and prepare for battle – and hope to God you haven’t run out of grenades.
