Warhammer: Chaosbane is an action role-playing game developed by Eko Software and published by Bigben Interactive. It was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on 31 May 2019. Players choose to play as one of five character classes from the Warhammer Fantasy setting: a human soldier of the Empire, a High Elf mage, a Dwarf slayer, a Wood Elf scout, or a Dwarf engineer. The character must help save the Empire against the demons of Chaos. Downloadable content featuring a storyline around the undead Tomb Kings was released on 16 December 2019. An enhanced version of the game was released for Xbox Series X/S on 10 November 2020 and for PlayStation 5 on 12 November 2020.[1]

Reception

Warhammer: Chaosbane received "mixed or average" reviews for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PlayStation 5, and "generally positive" reviews for Xbox Series X/S, according to review aggregator Metacritic.[2][3][4][5][6]

Writing for IGN, Leana Hafer gave the game an 8.7 out of 10, writing, "This action-RPG has it where it counts, with fun classes, good boss fights, and a decent loot system. It trips up on presentation in some places, including some terrible voice acting, but it manages to get the feel of Games Workshop’s dark fantasy setting right."[7] PC Gamer and Push Square compared the title unfavorably to Diablo III while criticizing its dull combat, uninteresting loot, repetitive content, and lack of innovation.[8][10] Iain Harris of PCGamesN called the game "...an endearing celebration of its influences", and praised the Warhammer references, streamlined character progression, and power fantasy experience.[12] Shacknews' Greg Burke gave the title a 9 out of 10 and heavily praised Chaosbane's co-op integration, attention to detail, frantic combat, and an expansive endgame.[9]
