The aRPG genre is already quite well streamlined. And I don’t -in any way- mean that negatively. If you’ve played a game in the genre before, then you know what to expect from this title. Straightforward and simple, Warhammer Chaosbane: Slayer Edition offers classically-styled aRPG gameplay (with some twists). Yes you can get a little old school dungeon-diving going with your buddies, and you can do so online or off. Even better, you can access The Tomb Kings right from the start, so you don’t need to beat the main game to get to it.Īnd you can play through all of this solo, or with up to 3 of your pals. Thanks to this being the Slayer Edition too, the expansion that takes you to a very Egyptian-like civilization is included. From there, you’ll go on to visit multiple locations around the Olde World. When the game opens, players find themselves in the city of Nuln, and searching out the beginnings of a demonic infestation underneath it. This comes some time after a massive defeat which galvanized humanity. They’re vile, corrupting forces, and Chaosbane finds these beasts once again growing in power. The forces of pure evil in the Warhammer World, the gods of Chaos are something akin to demon lords.

In play are a number of famed locales, as well as some very familiar races and demons.Īs the title implies, the main set of villains up against the human Empire in Chaosbane are Chaos. The tabletop version of Warhammer has a huge following, and if you’re one of those fans, then you’ll definitely recognize much of what Chaosbane has in store.

Thematically, it’s dark and Gothic, and has themes both familiar for fantasy fans, as well as wholly original. Warhammer’s Olde World, as opposed to the 41st Millennium of 40K, is basically an all-encompassing fantasy realm.
