Warhammer: Chaosbane Reviews
In the end, I can't help but feel Warhammer: Chaosbane suffers from being a budget action RPG, taking shortcuts to save cost, which has caused the game to succumb to the issue of being rather unoriginal, uninspiring and repetitive.
The gameplay, while addicting and fun with others, is bogged down by a real lack of motivation to keep playing.
As it is now, it’s a bit half-baked and feels rushed. Perhaps the forthcoming DLC will improve upon it, but it’s too much of a shame that we don’t have a more robust product now.
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 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.

Repetitive, meandering, and streamlined to a fault, Warhammer: Chaosbane lacks the depth to keep you invested well past the shallow endgame. It's a shame given the rich lore and enemy design.
This Diablo-like dungeon crawler is a fundamentally fun experience but lacks some polish in spots
Eko Software attempts to put a fresh spin on the ARPG genre in the Old World, but ultimately falls short in virtually all aspects. Truly a shame, since the Warhammer IP is replete with a ton of potential for a proper ARPG title
Warhammer Chaosbane is a great game if you play together. There are enough classes and ways to build your own playstyle. It has a lack of variation in worlds and enemies and the errors in the multiplayer turn the experience to a sour one.

Warhammer Chaosbane packs a lot of action in this action-rpg game, but there's not enough original content to give the game any long term replayability.
As a mindless ARPG, Chaosbane is great but everything else is just shallow and boring.
Warhammer: Chaosbane is a very fun, addicting games but has a number of minor drawbacks that pile up.
I think there’s a pretty good ARPG here somewhere, and after a few post-launch updates and tweaks, it might end up being something genuinely really good. As it stands now though, Warhammer: Chaosbane just has too many flaws for me to give it a full recommendation just yet.
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.
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 brings excellent class design and interesting builds, but forgets the variety in enemies, environments, and loot.
Warhammer Chaosbane is a great start to a new ARPG, but it definitely feels like a "start". The skill system feels too restrictive, the loot drops come too slow, and the environments and enemies are repetitive. That said, the game still manages to be fun to play, but more development is needed to make Chaosbane one for the ages.
If you're after a fairly enjoyable loot-chaser to work out some of that daily stress, Chaosbane is worth a look.
Essentially this really is a Diablo 3 clone with the Warhammer licence slathered all over it, unfortunately it doesn’t have the polish or the depth of Diablo 3
When it comes to the launch games for Microsoft and Sony’s shiny new boxes, Warhammer: Chaosbane Slayer Edition seems like an odd choice. After all, it’s a port of a game that was released just over a year ago. Still, it’s hard to argue that it’s not a welcome addition to the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S libraries that are largely lacking proper co-op adventures. It’s nothing revolutionary. But with a dash of next-gen polish and a mountain of content to explore, Warhammer: Chaosbane Slayer Edition should keep fans of the genre busy for quite some time.
