Warhammer: Chaosbane Reviews
Warhammer: Chaosbane is a decent ARPG that doesn't do anything new or exciting. Still, it might appeal to Warhammer fans and newcomers to the ARPG genre.
Warhammer: Chaosbane is a solid ARPG, of that there is little doubt. The combat, character classes, variety of enemies, and fun boss battles makes for an enjoyable experience. There are some issues with the game - bad voice acting, movement hinderances, and some graphical hiccups.
Warhammer: Chaosbane feels like a classic Diablo clone. Atmosphere and story is done perfectly, unfortunately the dueling system is not interesting enough to attract you for longer period of time. Actually, the game doesn't even work for a long time, because it crashes. Quite often.

Warhammer Chaosbane sets out to take players through an action filled adventure in the heart of the Old World and, baring technical difficulties, it mostly succeeds.
Warhammer: Chaosbane in all its totality is one of the best of the best when it comes to top-down dungeon crawling action and looting. It also comes with an impressive story that doesn’t let down, especially if you grab the Magnus Edition, which comes with all the DLC the game has to offer.
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.
If you are a fan of Warhammer’s fantasy universe, then there is a lot to enjoy. If you just need more isometric loot slashers in your life, then you can’t go wrong. But even with that, I just kept thinking, “I could be playing Diablo right now.”
I loved my time with Chaosbane and am putting in more hours by the day to try and get that platinum, even though I have no idea how many more relic hunts I need to do. Its poor story and early game loot system are such minor problems in the broader scope of what is an excellent action RPG set in a beautiful universe with top combat mechanics and plenty of choices on how you want to play.
Warhammer: Chaosbane Slayer’s Edition is a standard run-of-the-mill dungeon crawler that’s quite similar to Diablo. It features strong combat and good graphics on next-gen consoles, but you retread the same areas way too frequently – so much so that it becomes tiresome.
You get a solid game, improved via horsepower, and treated by the devs with additional content and updates in response to feedback.
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 has excellent combat, looks and sounds great, but feels a little unpolished. It’s the biggest letdown is the lack of diversity in both weaponry and maps. For its asking price of $50, it’s only worth it to Warhammer Fantasy fans, or someone looking for a fresh but familiar action RPG to play when they’re burned out on the latest Diablo 3 season.
Warhammer: Chaosbane is a cool ARPG that would have been better if it wasn't a current gen game but unfortunately, we're not in 2005 anymore.
While there are some noticeable limitations compared to other games in the genre, Chaosbane is a worthy addition to the ARPG realm for Warhammer fans.
Warhammer: Chaosbane takes place in a forgettable world, which is annoyingly repetitive, and has more than a handful of rough edges. Despite that, the arcade-like, fast-paced action it offers, as well as its fresh take on the genre's standard classes, makes it easy to forget its flaws, especially when trying it out along with a bunch of friends - or total strangers. Definitely not a recommendation for everyone, but those who'll like it will surely stick around for more than a few hours.
Warhammer: Chaosbane is a very fun, addicting games but has a number of minor drawbacks that pile up.
Diablo clone in Warhammer universe with repetitive level design and bugs offers decent fun.

Repetition and a general lack of polish crushes Warhammer: Chaosbane before it has a chance to put up a fight. Although the game has decent visuals and competent action, it is just too stagnant, with the same basic enemies filling poorly-randomized levels.
Those who pick up Warhammer: Chaosbane will find that it’s a nice looking game overall. Characters models and environments are detailed, and there are some decent effects on display.
Warhammer: Chaosbane isn't noteworthy. If you're a fan of the franchise, it might meet your need for Diablo-style beat-'em-up action. If you're not, there's little to recommend it over the horde of other available games, especially since this is selling at full price. Like Diablo III, perhaps Chaosbane can eventually update enough to fix its mistakes, but until then, it's a game for Warhammer faithfuls only.
