Warhammer: Chaosbane Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Warhammer Chaosbane sets out to take players through an action filled adventure in the heart of the Old World and, baring technical difficulties, it mostly succeeds.
Only you can save the newly-crowned Emperor's life in this Diablo-like action RPG that stays true to the Warhammer license.
Warhammer: Chaosbane is a hack-and-slash action/RPG set in the Warhammer Fantasy world.
Warhammer: Chaosbane is a solid first entry into the ARPG genre for the franchise. There are some cool twists on the theme like the God Tier system, but there are equally as many baffling decisions such as the matchmaking system, lack of economy, and decidedly absent customization options. There are the makings of a solid ARPG in here, but it needs a little more time in the oven to bake.
I’d by lying if I said that I haven’t been having some fun with Warhammer: Chaosbane, though it’s far from being a great game. The lack of enemy and level variety makes it feel like a slog at times, and the drip-feed of new features while failing to explain them is irritating. But the hard-hitting action and addictive character development go some way to make up for its issues. It’s enjoyable killing screens full of enemies like an unstoppable machine, then scouring the floor for loot that might just possibly make you even more powerful. And each character offers a wildly different experience,...
It’s shocking that it has taken this long for someone to make a Warhammer Fantasy action RPG in the same vein as Diablo. After all, not only are the two IP’s very similar, but Warhammer Fantasy just fits right in with the genre styling. Singular heroes standing alone against an unending tide of horrors from beyond this world? It’s a match made in heaven. Warhammer: Chaosbane is that long awaited attempt at such a game, and as only fitting it takes more than a few cues from Diablo III...
Warhammer: Chaosbane is a fun and satisfying hack-and-slash with enough combat variety and hokey charm to make this casual Diablo-like worth a look.
Will Warhammer set in the Old World finally see a good RPG production that cannot be faulted? There is a good chance of this happening, but in the hazy future. The present is highly unsatisfactory.
Chaosbane is a new action RPG set in the world of Warhammer that you can play solo, with a local friend, or in online co-op. I personally love the genre so I wanted to see if Warhammer: Chaosbane was worth my time.
Imagine a fantasy action role playing game in which you must guide a wizard or warrior on a heroic quest through dozens of wonderfully realised locales, battle a cavalcade of foul creatures, loot their rotten remains for rewarding new gear, and eventually go toe-to-toe with fearsome and challenging bosses. And then imagine you can play the whole thing in co-op with a friend; a rare example of a meaty cooperative experience that you can sink your teeth into for hours upon hours.
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then Warhammer: Chaosbane is giving Diablo quite the ego boost. Set in the Warhammer universe (the same one where you also kill giant rats and have gigantic battlefields of warfare, if you’re trying to keep up), Chaosbane is an isometric action RPG for you and your friends to hack, slash and cast spells while upgrading your gear and abilities. A Diablo clone that brings nothing particularly new to the table might not sound so appealing, but th...
When Chaosbane was initially revealed, I was thrilled at what I saw. Being a huge fan of isometric hack and slash games such as Diablo, Vikings: Wolves of Midgard, and Path of Exile, as well as from various other games across multiple decades and platforms, it seemed like another solid entry into th
