Warhammer: Chaosbane Reviews
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.
Warhammer: Chaosbane is a solid ARPG, of that there is little doubt. The combat, character classes, variety of enemies, and fun boss battles makes for an enjoyable experience. There are some issues with the game - bad voice acting, movement hinderances, and some graphical hiccups.
A great foundation that is mechanically sound and will delight in the early hours. Stick around too long, however, and Chaosbane reveals a dearth of classes, enemies and environments. Also a weak endgame.
Those who pick up Warhammer: Chaosbane will find that it’s a nice looking game overall. Characters models and environments are detailed, and there are some decent effects on display.
Repetition and a general lack of polish crushes Warhammer: Chaosbane before it has a chance to put up a fight. Although the game has decent visuals and competent action, it is just too stagnant, with the same basic enemies filling poorly-randomized levels.
Warhammer: Chaosbane feels like it came straight from the 90s. If you don't happen to be a hardcore Warhammer fan, who needs to play every Warhammer themed video game, feel free to give it a pass.

Diablo clone in Warhammer universe with repetitive level design and bugs offers decent fun.

Warhammer Chaosbane looks every bit like a hack and slash contender but misses too many of the nuances that make other games in the genre fun and addictive.
Even the few inventive stretches of the game are ultimately driven into the ground by a punishing sense of repetition.
This Diablo clone shares many of the mechanics with the famous dungeon-'em-up, but scarcely manages to execute them with the anywhere close to the same degree of quality. The moment to moment gameplay is where Warhammer: Chaosbane falls shortest, offering a loop that is neither fun nor addictive by any recognisable measure thanks to dull combat and disappointing loot. There's little reason to recommend Warhammer: Chaosbane in a world in which Diablo III exists – which is the world we currently live in – so we're not recommending it.
Warhammer: Chaosbane is a terrific action-RPG that features satisfying combat alongside a superb skill system. The game lacks variety in crucial areas such as the loot, environments and enemies, but it still ends up being a blast to play - particularly in co-op. Over time this could become one of the ARPG greats, right now it's a solid entry to the genre that lays some excellent foundations for the future.
Despite some controller woes, Warhammer Chaosbane delivers a solid and robust action RPG experience that is certain to delight both hardcore and casual fans of the genre alike.
If you're after a fairly enjoyable loot-chaser to work out some of that daily stress, Chaosbane is worth a look.
Fun combat and great co-op do their best to mitigate the shortcomings Chaosbane has with its serious lack of variety.
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.
Warhammer: Chaosbane is a functional though fundamentally unspectacular addition to the Warhammer universe. The number of missions, the multiple playable characters, and the additional modes available after completion give the game a thick padding that could provide weeks of entertainment for the right player. However, the core experience is more bones than meat, which means that that ‘right player’ may be a rare breed.
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.

Warhammer: Chaosbane is a good game, but it would've been better had it featured expansive environments.
It is flawed in so many ways but I just couldn’t put it down. This addictive gameplay is what saves Warhammer: Chaosbane.
