Plaguetide

What is PLAGUETIDE?

PLAGUETIDE is a cooperative skirmish-game, which tries to bring the world and the gameplay of the Darktide videogame to the table.

Players take on the role of four convicts who are forcibly recruited for the Inquisition in the 40th century. As a team, they have to carry out a mission in the city of Tertium, which is threatened by chaos forces. The aim is to use the players' different classes and abilities effectively to keep the hordes of enemies at bay and not lose sight of the actual mission amidst all the hustle and bustle.

As a Sharpshooter, Psyker, Ogryn or Zealot, four different classes are available, each taking on specific roles to prove useful to the team.

The game is led by a game master who designs the mission and controls the enemy hordes.

Only the cooperation of the agents will ultimately lead to success.
