Despite Redfall’s shortcomings, co-op horror enthusiasts need not despair. Another title that may fulfill their desires is available on Xbox Game Pass – Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, developed by Fatshark Games.
Darktide, set in the gothic sci-fi horror of the 41st Millennium, immerses players in a hellscape of occult horror. As a group of convicts pressed into service by the authoritarian Imperium of humanity, players confront a cult of Plague God worshipers, hordes of zombies, and powerful mutants. While Darktide also has its flaws, such as limited class variation and a thin plot beyond its stellar opening, it excels in delivering incredible combat fundamentals that Redfall sorely lacks.
