Whilst she may not be as hardy as some of the other characters, she makes up for it with range and fantastic mobility. Aside from all this, and what makes her unique to the other classes, is her ability to perform a combat roll and escape whatever danger might come her way. Her abilities allow her to cut through her enemies with sharp three-pronged throwing blades, or she can decimate whole crowds using the multi-shot ability.

When firing she is rooted in place, but from that fixed point she can unleash a torrent of arrows at the wretched creatures of the horde. As with the wider world of Warhammer, Chaosbane separates those feeling of dread by bringing a sense of hope with its light dialogue, showing that whilst the world can be cruel, the people within it are far from it.ĭuring our playthrough, we played as Elessa the Wood Elf, who uses her skills in archery to elevate her capacity for combat. It may seem dark and damp at first, but as you progress further the adventure takes you to icy forests, ancient temples and even further-flung locales. The game radiates Warhammer, and there's a looming feel to the gothic medieval world, which is gritty and callous and filled with disgusting creatures.

Travelling throughout the Old World, players will encounter different factions of the Horde, whilst also visiting notable locations from the fantasy universe such as Nuln or Praag. The title, which plays similarly to Diablo with its isometric camera angle and hordes of terrible creatures to smash through, is about a group of adventures fighting the remnants of the Chaos Horde in an effort to free their beloved leader from a terrible curse.

In fact, given how perfect Games Workshop's fantasy world is for a game like this, it's a bit surprising we haven't seen something like this sooner. For the uninitiated, Warhammer: Chaosbane is an action-RPG by Eko Software, and it's set in the expansive world of Warhammer.
