It’s vital to cutting away at a thick clot of snarling, slobbering baddies, or whittling down a boss who always seems to deploy a slow-down attack. It has a brief (and repeatable) stun quality, and no cooldown. It sent out a defensive wave of force instead. Playing as the Imperial Soldier (Konrad Vollen), an all-rounder fighter type, I instinctively fiddled with the right stick to adjust the camera ( Chaosbane has a standard fixed isometric view).

Player characters have a robust toolkit to solo wave after horde of baddies and bosses loot is plentiful, if a little repetitive (which I’ll chalk up to it being the beta) and while I am not familiar with the lore of Warhammer or the story threading through this game, the missions are paced well enough to keep me plunging ahead, one more time.īut the most indispensible tool in my combat kit I sort of found by accident. This isn’t to say the game is difficult, or not enjoyable, but it did take a bit of blundering around before I saw the depth of gameplay that it offers.įortunately, the closed beta that is underway was a nice testbed for me to get my bearings before Chaosbane, from Eko Software and publishers Bigben Interactive and Games Workshop, launches in June. As a dungeon crawler, really the only thing Warhammer : Chaosbane doesn’t do well is tell you all that you can do.
