Yes it is, the A.I isn't going to rock your world or anything but it's plenty doable. It's almost a carbon copy of Valve's 'Left 4 Dead' zombie blasting game, except with Skaven and swords. It's really great, I'm giving it a go on the Steam free weekend promotion and whilst I won't be buying it for a while (Just bought Overwatch and Doom is next on the list) it's a very solid game and I'm really impressed with it, the different types of Skaven foes ranging from assassins to poison wind globadiers and rattling guns was unexpected and really, really brilliant!

How do you even play the bloody thing solo? The only way I can find to start a game dumps me into multiplayer, there's no mention of bots/AI in the options I can see, and starting the game with Steam in Offline Mode just boots you back out again.

"The language of modern British politics is meant to sound benign. But words do not mean what they seem to mean. 'Reform' actually means 'cut' or 'end'. 'Flexibility' really means 'exploit'. 'Prudence' really means 'don't invest'. And 'efficient'? That means whatever you want it to mean, usually 'cut'. All really mean 'keep wages low for the masses, taxes low for the rich, profits high for the corporations, and accept the decline in public services and amenities this will cause'." - Robin McAlpine from Common Weal
If I recall correctly, you go into the lobby (inn), walk up to the map and select your mission. There should be a bar along the top of the screen with the character portraits and an option on the bottom right I think (or maybe it says it in the top / middle just under the portraits) that says private game or private server. Start the game and nobody can join your game; Bots will fill the other player slots automatically.

I got it yesterday, and yes... it was very easy to figure out how to play solo. Checked a box, launched a mission, and that was it.
And wow... what a fun game. I find it hard even on easy, and I do wish it randomized the map-layouts and not just enemy spawns, but I can still see myself spending a lot of time on this.
Can anyone explain how the Forge works? I unlocked it, but they didn't explain it at all. Also, is there really only one piece of loot rewarded per mission?

Vienna, AUSTRIA; Stockholm, SWEDEN - July 27, 2016: Today Fatshark and Nordic Games announce their partnership to bring the highly anticipated console versions of the critically acclaimed Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide to PlayStation®4 (PS4™) and Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft.
The worldwide release is set for October 4th 2016, for PlayStation®4 (PS4™) and Xbox One, whereas Fatshark will self-publish the digital versions for both consoles, and Nordic Games will publish the physical editions worldwide.
"More than half a million PC gamers have already taken Vermintide to their heart, and this fall it's time for console players to do the same. The consoles will get an extended version that includes all DLCs released for the PC version to date" says Martin Wahlund, CEO at Fatshark, and continues". We are over the moon to be working with Nordic Games on this release as their experience and expertise are incomparable."
“The combination of Fatshark and Warhammer seems too good to be true. We do have quite a few fanboys in our team, who played Krater, Lead and Gold, and – of course – also played the hell out of Warhammer Vermintide on PC. To say we are stoked to work with Fatshark on Warhammer Vermintide for consoles and the physical edition for PC is the understatement of 2016 in my book” comments Reinhard Pollice, Business and Product Development Director at Nordic Games.
The console version will include the super challenging Last Stand game mode as well as its two maps, where the players fend off horde after horde of Skaven in intense and increasingly difficult battles. It will also include Sigmar's Blessing as well as the Drachenfels DLC, which contains three additional adventure maps set outside of Ubersreik.

We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Great news! I tried it out on steam during one of their free weekends but my computer was on the very lower limit of being able to run it and as soon as the fire mage started blasting away things became pretty difficult to handle. Hopefully the console version runs smoothly
