THIS GAME IS BETTER THAN I THOUGHT | Darktide Trailers, Gameplay and Music REACTION

The soundtrack to this game is 10/10. One of the best soundtracks in a game you will ever hear.

One two, one two a marching tune, Go and face the foe, we give them shells and lasgun rounds, and send them running to and fro, the Emperor always guides us, He wants us to attack, for just as he protects us all, we must protect him back!

Best thing about this game is when you're in a big melee battle swinging a hammer and the music syncs up. Just cant help but bang your head with the beat.

[@eldritchcupcakes3195]

when your unit's zealot screams "for the god-emperor" just as the beat drops and you know the boss is about to get melted

[@FinxOmally]

Can confirm, the OST absolutely SLAPS! Bricky did a break down of the game at launch to. And even he confirms it’s one of the best parts of the game.

[@GuerillaBunny]

Matters of opinion. The soundtrack is good, but the gameplay honestly tops it.

[@goose1415]

​@@GuerillaBunnyHonestly I don't think either would be as good without the other, as game soundtracks should be imo. It reminds me a lot of Halo, Destiny, and Soulsborne games. A proper fully developed soundtrack that you'd expect from a blockbuster movie, but it adapts to the game as you're playing, shortening or lengthening parts when needed but always sounding perfectly in tune with what's happening in-game. Love video game music for that particular part of having to be a full song but also adaptive to what happens in the game

[@GuerillaBunny]

@@goose1415 Sure. But at the same time, I have the music turned to so low that I can barely hear it, because otherwise it risks drowning vital audio cues. I just get sensory overload pretty easily, so I have to do that, but I'm still having a blast. I think what it does is it keeps the mood in those rare times that nothing is really happening.

[@Kenosos]

Those two songs definetely slap but people always seem to forget the most important track "The Emperor of Mankind"

I've been playing since day 1. Pure 40k love in every map, weapon and lore detail. Highly recommended. And is getting better and better! Glad you reacted to Darktide at last! Si te animas y necesitas algo de consejo al principio por aquí estamos :) EDIT: Jesper Kyd music for the game is just amazing. Perfect 40k atmosphere. Get me the chills every time and the adrenaline it gives you while playing is great!

the snap of the lasgun is so satisfying and the OST is great. Overall a fun thematic game imo, with room for growth also.

[@ericpilzner9997]

The music when it drops and you hear a preacher “FOR THE EMPEROR!”

[@Dextrous]

Hope you enjoy playing Darktide, I'm sure you will though! It's been one of my default go-to games since release. Zealot and Veteran are very fun and intuitive. love Immortal Imperium so much! Religious chanting, war drums, dirty industrial sounds, it captures the 40k setting perfectly.

[@TenebrousFilms]

The ship got where it was going, but it picked up some hitch-hikers while in the warp... The soundtrack for this game is by Jesper Kyd, and it is *awesome.* He did the old Hitman games, the majority(?) of Assassin's Creed games, among others. Immortal Imperium gives me chills every time it starts up. I went through the tutorial with each class, but the game itself didn't grab me; probably just because I'm burned out on multiplayer games. I hear it keeps getting updates, though; they might even move the story forward at some point. The popular theory for the next antagonist is a genestealer cult.

[@edznyc]

the slappingest game ever... fromi soundtrack, to sound design, to freak level adrenaline pumpin gameplay mechanics, to super tight controls, to the revised progression/class system, and finally a worthy itemization system evolved, to the top of the pile AAAA level design (most of them, and there are like 20 now), enemy design, encounter designs (except for the lackluster boss fights), sheer joy to play, sheer replayability, what a thing. it is way underrated and deserves more success and players.

[@AQS521]

This game is amazing. It had a rough launch and that is where most of the main issues come from. Most of the problems have been ironed out though. The biggest problem right now is the crafting and itemization. It is essentially a slot machine. My advice for new players is too avoid crafting as much as possible and just save up plasteel until the crafting update (it will be the next title update). The end game difficulty (auric maestrom) is super satisfying when you have a proper team, you all function like a well oiled machine. No other game hits like Darktide does. The core gameplay is seriously top notch. It should also be noted that Fatshark is TERRIBLE at communicating with their community, so dont get too invested into the "gamer politics" around this game. Just have fun with it and dont let some of the toxic community members who, for some reason, play this game nonstop yet constantly talk crap about it, bring you down if you are having a good time with it.

[@bibianski]

The soundtracks always hypes me up! Great video, love the reaction. This is one of those games I sank so many hours in lol

[@Just_Some_Clown]

As an Ogryn main....if you havent already you gotta check out Gav and Bob by Vox in the Void as well as An Ogryn Story by Warrior Tier. You'll cry..you'll laugh...you'll love the Ogryn as we all do.

[@GuerillaBunny]

If you end up playing this, I'd urge you to consider a couple of things: 1) You can't rely on your firearms alone, even if you're "maining" ranged combat. If anything makes it to close range, change to melee. 2) You cannot outgear the challenge. Most gear is going to be garbage. Your greatest assets are your skill, wits and discipline. 3) Staying close to your group grants bonuses. Straying will not only remove them, but the game prioritizes eliminating loners. 3b) Don't leave anyone behind. Especially important when jumping down from points of no return. 4) The game communicates almost everything through sounds. Even incoming attacks from enemies you can't see. 5) The game will teach you bad habits, and then exploit them. 6) Never forget that the enemy can also spawn behind you. Head on a swivel! Happy purging!

[@DavidosStudios]

It's a really good game. I think people who say it's pretty repetitive have just played it an awful lot. I don't think these kinda games can be your 'forever' game but there is enough here to keep someone playing for a fair amount of time. Obviously the only choice is to play the Veteran Guardsman tho. Shoulder you lasgun and Combat knife and learn what it's like to be a grunt in 40k (or if you want to win, use a plasma gun (but careful with the overcharge)) 😂

You should listen to the Ogryn story about Gav and Bob by Vox in the Void... it's a heart melter! Vox has some top tier audio stories for 40k generally.

[@aechorviator693]

I like to refer to Disposal Unit from the Darktide Soundtrack as "Music you listen to when you want to snap the barbell at the gym" 😂

Aloha, great to watch you! This is real goth music (party all night) listen to this all night long. I'd be really happy if you checked out "The Last Church". The story is just awesome and reveals soooo much about the Emperor.

[@Ddarth_sidious]

Darktide's composer made and awesome job for this game, he had made many amazing gaming soundtracks: Hitman, Borderlands, Darksiders II (Guardian Boss Music is just awesome), Assasin's Creed (Ezio's family is pure catharsis, one of the best gaming music in history, this soundtrack is basically the soundtrack of the golden era of gaming). He has been working with Fatsharks for 2 previous games of Vermintide I-II (it's a Warhammer FB analogue of Darktide) and it has some amazing scores too. And don't forget that Jeremy Soule has so many masterpieces in his portfolio too (even some 40k games): Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War, The Elder Scrolls III-V (yes, the famous Dragonborn theme is his), Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic I-II, my all time favorite massive RTS Supreme Commander (with expansion), War Thunder and even some Dota2 scores, etc. He KNOW his 40k stuff since the time of Dow-1. Such a music gifts for fans

Imagine what would have happened if Mick Gordon had been involved in the development of the Darktide soundtrack...

[@ianpyke1702]

It’s one of my go to games, I love it

[@Sileadh]

I genuinely think you should react to the Vermintide 2 release trailer. Not only because it was Fatsharks previous game to Darktide but because its Warhammer (albeit Fantasy not 40k) and finally because as far as I can tell, nobody has reacted to it.

[@p3dr0-Logaritmico]

The game is so much fun to play. Hope you'll enjoy your time as much as I do! 🎮 Installed it last weekend and literally have binge-played it since then to level 30 with the veteran class. Can't wait to try the other classes. It's literally radiating imperial army vibes 😅 it has been a while a co-op game got me hooked that much, even though I'm not 100% in all the game systems and mechanics yet. Happy gaming and best regards.

i have over 2.8k playtime in this game and still i only play this game, because evertyhing else would be....

Darktide always makes me rewatch (listen) to Ogryn Story by Warrior tier..

[@jessiechen279]

Damn i love that intro track! Game's one my fave's too👍 I'd say "veteran" or "zelot" are prob best classes to start with, vet for range, zelot if you prefer melee😉

[@DarkDramon]

Warp traveller is probably the next best track 🤟

[@xDEADLOCKEDx2468]

Perfect song to answer with if someone asks what you listening to during your hot girl walk. Prak honestly, PEAK.

[@bobloblawlove]

Jesper Kyd is the king of game soundtracks in my opinion. If you like Darktide's OST, check out Darksiders II's soundtracks as well! He has a specific style that's rather rich in drums and a few other instruments. You may hear and identify parts from both games' soundtracks that sound very alike. Stains of Heresy, The Abyssal Plains and Death Brings Hope are a few of Darksiders II soundtracks to name. If you listen to them, I hope you'll enjoy those!

[@ardeeseus]

Darktide beybeehhhh!

[@andypae]

Bricky has a couple good videos explaining the game and the setting. :)

[@jocosesonata]

Should also check out the Darktide Vox Transmissions.

[@connorcress6471]

I’ve been playing it consistently and it’s gas. Literally the only fault of the game is the lack of extra content, which is steadily being improved upon

[@pixelchickenrider9566]

The zealot is the most newby friendly class because they are kind of a jack of all trades character more than the other three classes and they have very forgiving survival mechanics. A lot of people think the veteran is the one for newby players, but that’s because most people don’t realize Darktide is a Melee focused game and the veteran sounds like your basic FPS character. Yes, they are ranged focused, but, with the exception of a couple builds, if you run around with just your ranged weapon out the entire time regardless of your class you will end up getting shanked a lot and sucking up all the limited healing for the simple reason that you can’t block when you have your ranged weapon out. That being said, I recommend all the classes because they’re all great in their own way.

[@Antoniusan]

[@jandolezal6489]

hello:) bricky quite enjoyed darktide:). he even has four videos on it in youtube.o)

[@oldschooldos6850]

Darktide: Amazing melee and ranged combat, very tight controls with a high skill ceiling, it's Left 4 Dead in 40k in a nutshell. The music absolutely slaps and gets you in the headspace to mow down heretics and foul mutants. Have 1000hrs in this game but haven't touched it in months primarily due to the way you gain equipment and weapon ability unlocks - it's entirely random lottery mechanics that consume limited resources you gather in missions. You craft power sword after power sword and hope you get one with good stats that then also unlocks at least 1 good ability but it's random and it absolutely sucks all of the long-term enjoyment from the game. It could also use more maps and content to maintain relevancy but FatShark is really good at releasing unfinished products that take years to finally dial in.

It was pretty bad at launch, but slowly has gotten better. Still no story to speak of, which I was a bit miffed about, since they hyped it with the involvement of Dan Abnett. The backstories and such snippets are fine, but meh. Still super fun with friends. The melee and just the viscerality of combat is really nice. And the soundtrack is teh BOMB, just like Mechanicus'.

Achtually... The female zealot is not a Sister of Battle... Perhaps she was but got expelled as a punishment for something or perhaps she never was.. The ecclesiarchy is forbidden from hawing "men under arms" -- but women are OK.. I suppose they have the right to arm bears too. Ogryns are ABhumans .. it means - something other than that they have fabulous abs. AFAIK most ogryns are not cannibals or even particularly gluttonous - but ratlings (also abhumans) eat a lot for their size and have a nasty tendency to pilfer supplies (they're basically hobbits in space) .
