Three of the four classes are absolutely excellent, to the point that I had a really hard time picking a favorite. But other than that, my only major disappointment was that I only got four of these things to go toe-to-toe with. The Plaguebringer, a very early boss, did get on my nerves a bit more than the others because the waves of minions he spawns are so numerous that the fight drags out way longer than I felt it needed to.

They force you to stay mobile and take opportunities to do damage when you can, which is a nice change of pace from most of the horde fights. Each terrifying Greater Daemon features a variety of interesting mechanics that only had me cursing at my monitor once or twice – which is right about the sweet spot for tough RPG baddies. They do show up when you unlock the higher levels, though.īosses are great on any difficulty setting. Encounters have a satisfying flow with a good variety of enemies, though there aren’t a lot of elites with memorable or dangerous abilities you have to watch out for on the difficulties available at the start.

Whether you’re using a controller or a mouse and keyboard, moving, slashing, casting spells, and leaping through hordes of cultists to fire off a barrage of arrows all feels precise and impactful – though you can’t switch between them without going into a menu, which I found annoying since I like to fight with my thumbsticks and switch to seamlessly managing inventory with my clicker.

The moment-to-moment combat in Chaosbane is some of the best I’ve gotten my bloodstained hands on in recent times. 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. This action-RPG has it where it counts, with fun classes, good boss fights, and a decent loot system. Holy crap, there’ve been a lot of Warhammer games lately! But few have been as good as Warhammer: Chaosbane.
