In the narrative, you play as one of six characters as you assist the empire as its leader, Magnus has been put under a stasis spell by a sorceress in aid to bring forth an invasion by a grotesque bunch of creatures known collectively as Chaos. The story of Chaosbane takes place over four main chapters, with two additional chapters provided from the DLC portion of the Slayer Edition.
As is typical of a Diablo type RPG, you do find yourself holding buttons to slash opponents for a good portion of your time and the mission structure doesn’t do much to change this, with the vast majority of the tasks being a case of ‘go there and kill that’. I entered the game with fresh eyes, playing through the main campaign as the newly introduced Witch Hunter class and found most of the complaints of sameness were well founded. The game originally launched in May 2019 on the PS4 to middling reception with the general consensus being that the title was above average and that while it captures the look and feel of Warhammer, the action felt somewhat monotonous, with little variation on missions or character progression.Īs I sat playing Warhammer: Chaosbane Slayer Edition for the first time on PS5, I found myself agreeing with most of the feedback seen on sites at the time of the original release.

Warhammer: Chaosbane is the latest effort to capture Games Workshop’s world in the virtual form. Ranging from the classic strategy roots of HeroQuest, to the Left 4 Dead-like Vermintide, each provide the classic Warhammer aesthetic, lore, and flavour to the virtual proceedings. Since the advent of video games Games Workshop have been able to turn their wallet killing franchise to various other genres. While the brand has stalwartly held its position as the premier miniatures’ tabletop game. Novemin PS5 / Reviews tagged Chaosbane / Clone / diablo / nurgle / unclean / Warhammer by Grizz
