Warhammer: Chaosbane is mediocre game that can be fun to play in co-op with friends and then forget forever. Or try to master it alone, suffering from monotony и boring plot. The most desperate fans of the genre and the universe of Warhammer can try, but better on sale. And for the rest - just pass by.

An all-encompassing edition of Warhammer's latest foray into Diablo style dungeon crawling, Warhammer: Chaosbane Slayer Edition struggles to stand out with its grindy gameplay and poor use of the DualSense controller. That said, there is sufficient depth in its character build creation and near endless quest lines that those who can withstand its less agreeable aspects will find much to tide them over.

Warhammer: Chaosbane is saved by the monster-slaying action since the narrative isn't much to play for. If you can find friends to play online with this is an excellent adventure, but while solo the repetition may set in a bit too quickly.

The mission design and story can grate at times, but this is a devilishly fun homage to Diablo 3 and Warhammer Fantasy you'll want to get your friends in on.Iain Harris

Even the few inventive stretches of the game are ultimately driven into the ground by a punishing sense of repetition.

Good but not exceptional, Warhammer: Chaosbane is a solid and confident slice of medieval melee action. As Gothic as it is repetitive in the endgame phase, it's still an enjoyable romp in the same vein as many an action RPG from yesteryear.

Warhammer Chaosbane is a rather pretty, but ultimately shallow Diablo wannabe. By adhering too closely to its inspiration is fails to bring anything new to the table, and end up looking like a poor imitation in somewhat shinier armour and fails to deliver anything with any impact. More whiffle bat than Warhammer.

Warhammer: Chaosbane Slayer Edition is a title that is not far from the line of classic games of the genre, however, provides everything necessary to become one of the favorites of fans of ARPG games and fans of the universe of Warhammer.

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.

An unabashedly fun title, Warhammer: Chaosbane slams itself into the nerve center of the hack-and-slash dungeon crawler genre dominated by titles like Diablo III, Path of Exile, and Victor Vran.

Warhammer: Chaosbane is a pretty casual hack’n’slash for players unfamiliar with the genre. The game looks pretty, but it's far too easy and repetitive, with a rather shallow storyline. Perhaps in time, Chaosbane will become better due to planned DLCs, but it looks like a considerable investment. It's a pity that we received another mediocre Warhammer game, cause it was very promising at launch.

...doesn't really bring anything new to the table. It's enjoyable enough, but is mostly uninspired.

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 joins the large family of Warhammer properties in a small stable of action-RPGs. Though somewhat derivative of the genre, it offers enough new blood and style to be a valuable entry for those looking for dungeons to crawl and loot to collect.

Though the characters, locales, and general lore of Warhammer were lost on me not having ever played any Warhammer before (tabletop or otherwise), this didn’t stop me from getting into the game and enjoying it. The story, characters, quest and dungeon design, and general gameplay are all pretty straight-forward and familiar, and I don’t mean that in a disparaging way. This is a good case of ‘if it’s not broke, don’t fix it.’ If you’re looking for an expansive and fun co-op loot-gathering, combat-heavy dungeon crawler, this is a good choice, and your only choice right now for the new consoles.

The gameplay, while addicting and fun with others, is bogged down by a real lack of motivation to keep playing.

Even if it's not even in the same league of titles like Diablo III (or II, for that matters) or Path of Exile, Warhammer Chaosbane is a familiar but still quite entertaining take on the action RPG formula, marred only by dated visuals.
