Warhammer: Chaosbane - Slayer Edition

Diablo/Dark Alliance style game with couch Co-op! grab a friend or love one and kill some Monsters!

A pretty solid dungeon crawler. I've only played solo, but it seems like it would be a better experience with multiple players on the team. All in all a pretty solid entry into the Warhammer universe.

I found Chaosbane an enjoyable "Diablo" style game with a "Warhammer" flare.

It took me some time to dive into this ARPG, as having played “W40K: Inquisitor – Martyr” since it first appeared in EA, I had heard rumblings on that game's forums that this title would far outdo the one I was playing. The game was released, and all the negative reviews began flowing in. Still, it sat on my Steam and Fanatical wishlist, being a big fan of the Warhammer universes (Fantasy, End of Times, Age of Sigmar, The Horus Heresy and Warhammer 40,000, in reverse order of interest). The game dropped to 40% discount only the week before last, and still 90% off wasn't enough for me on this website. Steam had this Slayer Edition, named as a complete collection for a far more bloated price, so I was never going to buy from there. Then, after that sale finished, a new one appeared last week when the game was 92% off and with my 5% voucher a few cents more. So, I took the plunge. Now, I do enjoy ARPG's, especially as I say Warhammer ones, though never quite getting into Grim Dawn or Diablo 3, so I was a bit hesitant, noting the reviews. Well, almost 30 hours in, I am having a ball. At first, it was a bit 'samey' in that every task undertaken (mission) had the same foes and were easily vanquished with loads of items, gold, and fragments after each. Not being able to trade with the merchant/priest, but only donate was a bummer, till I got into the whole reputation scene. Inventory was intuitive as are Skills, active and passive and the God Skill Tree, which is fun to play around with as you can reset at any time. Now, I have been a PC gamer since the '80's in my mid-twenties, and strategy games are my meat and potatoes. Flight sims were always my first choice, but that's another story. Aside from straight strategies, TBS and RTS (Dune 2 blew my mind) the only ARPG's I'd played had been “Diablo” and the isometric “Syndicate” – not a true ARPG, but you get the idea). As I say, I have played strategy games since they were first written, but loving them and being great at playing them are two different things. So I tend to play on Easy, or Very Easy, unless the only other option is Normal. This game, however, heavily penalises players on Very Easy, with few rewards coming your way and I only realised this when looking at bumping it up after the game became far too easy, and I saw the rewards differences. After Level 24, I started playing on Hard (many players suggest Very Hard, but only for the seasoned young guns). I killed my first Boss (The Great Unclean...

Not on par w/ some of the bigger players -- but it holds its own, for what it is. They could've done more w/ the level design, as it feels like there are wide open areas w/ no activity, and some areas feel extremely small. Nevertheless, it's not a bad use of the Warhammer franchise. It feels more like a Torchlight than a Diablo though.

it's a very good game, I really like that, if you like Hack and slash games, this one is good, the storyline is nice also and see your character going stronger is the best one.

It’s a fun game to play with friend it’s like gauntlet but better your not stuck all in the same screen you can move without the other one perfect

Chaosbane is a fantastic game and it’s worth playing and I recommend this game to everyone
