Ubersreik is under attack by Skaven, and you play as one of five heroes fighting to survive the invasion. Each hero has a distinct selection of weapons and a different combat style.
Move through first-person missions as a team of up to four, battling waves of rat-men with melee weapons and ranged attacks. Along the way, complete mission-specific tasks, defend positions, and face specialized enemies.
Missions can be played with friends, matchmaking players, or AI bots. Completing them awards loot through a dice roll; finding optional objectives can improve the reward, while new weapons and gear support repeated runs at different difficulties.
Players who enjoy the game often highlight its team-based missions, forceful melee combat, distinct heroes, and dark Warhammer atmosphere. Several describe learning maps and coordinating with friends as especially rewarding. Other reviews say the experience loses appeal solo, citing weak bots and difficulty finding online teammates, and some find the missions or loot progression repetitive.
