About
Chainsaw Warrior from Games Workshop is the classic nail-biting game for one strong-nerved player! It's the year 2032 and spatial warping has opened a hole into another dimension in the midst of the old municipal buildings at the heart of Manhattan. Bizarre and dangerous creatures are flooding into our dimension, intent on destruction. Behind their actions is a controlling intelligence known as 'Darkness', who intends to drag New York back into the warp – destroying it utterly!
Air strikes, ground assaults and WMDs have all failed to stop the swarming forces from beyond. All that remains is a single hope: a shadowy ex-special forces soldier, enhanced for combat and known only as 'Chainsaw Warrior'. Equipped with all the latest high-tech armaments, he must battle his way through to the trans-dimensional ground-zero and defeat Darkness. Not only are there swarms of zombies, mutants, traps, Chaos Agents and other twisted denizens between him and Darkness, time is the enemy too! Only an hour remains to save New York before it is torn from our world forever.
First published as a solo boardgame in 1987, it has been updated, translated and re-engineered for the digital generation. In Chainsaw Warrior it's just you against both the clock and a tide of evil! Can you prevail where all others have failed? You only have 60 minutes to save New York!

We can rebuild him... we got the technology down in the wood shed... anyone has a buck fifty for some gas?
One playthrough is all it takes to realize that the real gimmick is the clock. Every turn in 30 seconds, and you only have "60 minutes" to win. So when you beat 64 cards in 32 minutes, you see you only have ~25 minutes left (give or take a few 1-3 minute-crunching traps). Suddenly, you have another 53-55 cards to defeat with only 25 minutes left. A literal inherent flaw in the mechanics. In other words, even when you literally don't do anything wrong, and never even take wounds, avoid all traps, and Jeffery Epstein didn't kill himself, you still just don't have enough time to beat the second deck of cards. Interestingly, fanboys will hark back to how awesome this game was in 1987, and ignore the real issue of whether or not the game is functional. That's all a reasonable person would need - outside the RNG beat the clock chance, can I beat this game? Absolutely, if you didn't have 4 minutes to do two days worth of tasks. The dice do not feel as RNG as of card games, you actually feel like you have a shot at making the "Roll 3 with 3 die to win." It might be for you, but it is not for me, I like possibility.

Don't buy this in 2026 - something about the way the game was built causes it to just not work on modern systems. While it's an interesting throwback to Games Workshop's past, and a pretty significant challenge to overcome, the fact that the game simply doesn't work anymore is a pretty big turn-off. In summary: if you're willing to run this in a Win7 VM or do a whole hell of a lot of back-end work to make it run, this might be worth your time. If not, save your money.
It's like playing the lottery but with zombies on playing cards and dice rolling. Like the lottery you will probably never win. Unlike the lottery, you get nothing of value if you do win.
The game does not work on Windows 11, simple as. Stay the hell away and don't give these banjaxers any money.
It was a really nice game, but, as other reviews mentioned, it does not work on modern systems (Win10/11). You will get a black screen before even seeing the menus, and that's it. I will update this review when the bug is fixed.
The RNG is unforgiving and brutal, the opponents are numerous and relentless and the timer keeps ticking down. . . . Success is rare and when earned is truly glorious. If your looking for easy wins and gratification then stick to easy mode.
Old GW Game, Random dice fest is no fun, Awful UI.
This is a very simple board game that involves a lot of luck. Be prepared to die from radiation and chainsaw your way through hordes of zombies in order to save New York before it is too late. If you are looking for a easy, simple, fun way to waste 15 minutes you've found it.
