How it plays
Like Vermintide, it punishes anyone who wanders off: toughness only recharges near teammates, and players caught by hounds or trappers need someone to free them.
Classes split the work between melee, ranged and support, and harder difficulties ask for real coordination.
Each player needs a copy, Steam, Xbox and PS5 players can team up, and bots fill any empty slots.
