Warhammer: Chaosbane is good and it could mature into something great, but right now it pales next to its daddy. However, it’s standing in the shadow of Diablo III, a titan that’s been doing it for a long time and that you can’t help but make comparisons with. I feel bad for underselling Chaosbane, as I did enjoy my time with it. Warhammer: Chaosbane is a good, solid dungeon crawling action RPG, but outside of a well executed Warhammer theme it’s just not doing anything new.

In our review of Warhammer: Chaosbane, Nick scored the dungeon crawler a solid 7/10, concluding: The Warhammer: Chaosbane Slayer Edition packs in several paid and free DLCs.In this complete Slayer Edition you not only get the four original classesthe Imperial Soldier, High-elf Mage, Slayer, and Wood-elf scoutyou also get the more recently added Dwarven Engineer and Witch Hunter. This includes the fifth free playable character. We’d hazard a guess that both will be features for the Warhammer RPG when it surfaces on PS5 and Xbox Series X, along with upgraded visuals and all of the free content updates that have been rolled out since the game’s launch. Similarly, there’s no word on cross-generation online multiplayer. Nacon have yet to confirm whether those who already own Warhammer: Chaosbane on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One will be able to make an upgrade to the next-gen version. Moreover, the new Witch Hunter class will give returning players a reason to sink their teeth back into the title, and newcomers will learn the game has countless hours of replayability despite its repetitive nature.Nacon is a name traditionally tied to gaming peripherals (including the Nacon Revolution 3, the Nacon Daija, and Nacon Pro Unlimited) but has since become the face of publisher Bigben Interactive, having livestreamed their very own lineup of game reveals last night.Īside from the PS5 and Xbox Series X version of Warhammer: Chaosbane, other titles included Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, Steelrising, Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood, Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong, and RIMS Racing. Where the enhanced version shines, however, is in the beautiful aesthetics, silky frame rates, and expedient load times on PS5. Prepared for the new console generation, Warhammer: Chaosbane Slayer Edition delivers the same dungeon-crawling experience on a gameplay level. For example, an area-of-effect (AoE) attack with the pistols where the Witch Hunter pirouettes while firing at enemies in all directions becomes a cone-shaped AoE attack with the rapier. Switching from pistols to rapier also changes the way certain class abilities perform. While not as agile as the Elf Scout or technologically adept as the Dwarf Engineer, Chaosbane’s Witch Hunter does bring versatility to the table through its proficiency at both ranged and melee combat.


Players who purchase the Slayer Edition will also be given access to all the game’s DLC, including the Tomb Kings expansion and the new Witch Hunter character class, the latter of which sees players switching between dual-wielding pistols and a rapier.
