Warhammer: Chaosbane

My son and I was looking for a Diablo Clone to dive into over the weekend, and we found this for next to nothing. We love Warhammer, and the Old World, so we were pretty hyped :) Looking at reviews, I got a bit worried, but once we got into it we were sold!

Played through the three campaigns solo with the Empire Captain Then played some end game (really like the chaos tower) The game seems designed for co-op, having both online and couch The only negatives for me were the first act tiles are quite bland (loved act 2’s) And your locked into very hard difficulty until you complete the main campaign (about ¾ through I found it way to easy) Best way to play if defiantly with friends, but I plan on playing it with some of the other characters If you have friends or want to smash some chaos, it’s worth it

If you're a Warhammer fan, you'll enjoy this one. The story is good and the graphics stand up just fine for an ARPG. The game play is a bit repetetive.

This game scratches that itch I had for games like old Diablo

Pretty usual, somewhat short ARPG with some neat ideas and great voice-acting and presentation. Same areas do get repeated way too constantly but since acts themselves are fairly short, it's acceptable. I "finished" the game on Legend LV42 on Insane 2-difficulty (Basegame+DLCs), I did not do any extra grinding. Will just list things of note: *The story is quite usual grimdark story, but for Warhammer newbies, it does introduce the forces of Chaos pretty decently. *Superb voice-acting on characters, great presence. *While the combat is kind of basic, it is still overall good and the build options can vary for each character. I like the skill system. *The boss fights are pretty great. *Some small differences in text and voicelines. *Music is solid but the audio balance with voices and music feels a bit off. *Sometimes the game instantly gives you a tutorial for something and sometimes it doesn't seem to tell you anything. *Using GOD-skills to demolish small stuck enemies is hilarious. *While I liked the first DLC boss a lot, the DLC itself felt kind of a drag (even when it wasn't that long). *The second DLC took me 40 minutes to complete. Pretty basic story, good voice-acting with the 1 character, the boss felt weird. Even though we were building up for it, it felt really lacking. For the price I paid, I am happy with the game.
