Elontir, on the other hand, can decimate entire gaggles of enemies by blasting them with area-of-effect spells. For instance, Elessa can execute a highly useful dodging move which allows her to get out of tight spots and maintain proper distance management. What really sets these heroes apart, however, is that their individual class traits can be activated with a push of the space bar (or the right analogue thumb button on a controller). The good variety of toolsets that each hero brings to the table ensures that just about any playstyle can be enjoyed.
Meanwhile, Bragi the Slayer wades into battle fearlessly, slicing and dicing with his mighty axes. You can go with the human Empire fighter-type, Konrad, who wields a one-handed weapon and a shield Elontir, a High Elf mage who prefers to vaporize his enemies from afar Elessa the Wood Elf archer and Bragi, a formidable Dwarf Slayer.Īll of these heroes play well off of each other, such as having Konrad soak up enemy damage as the party’s tank-type, while Elontir and Elessa kill enemies from range. Warhammer Chaosbane offers four distinct playable heroes (with a fifth on the way as announced in recent development notes). In fact, one of the first things I noticed about Warhammer Chaosbane was that the voiceover sequences were of high quality, which helps to immerse one within the game universe’s deep lore. This is all explained through beautifully-rendered still images with narration in the background. Players are tasked with choosing one of four heroes and taking on the newly revitalized forces of Chaos in an attempt to break the curse and restore the Empire to its former power and glory. Although Emperor Magnus managed to unify the good guys and defeat Chaos and its multitudinous minions, a crafty witch managed to sneak into his throne room and cast a curse upon him. Our story begins right after an epic clash between the forces of Order and the dastardly forces of Chaos. But does it have enough going for it to stand out from the crowd? Warhammer Chaosbane is one of the latest offerings that tries to emulate that classic Diablo formula.
2000’s Diablo 2 was inarguably the franchise’s high point and spawned countless clones and “me too” ARPGs that, for the most part, paled in comparison to it (the exceptions being Path of Exile and Grim Dawn). Well established game developers, Blizzard Entertainment, has been delivering hack-and-slash titles in the form of the Diablo franchise, since the 90s. One of the genres which has been relatively steady is the action role-playing game, or ARPGs. The ebb and flow of gaming genres peaks and dips according to what developers think the market wants at any given time.
