Warhammer: Chaosbane

Lackluster Diablo clone not even worth the $1.60 it cost to buy.

Came for the Warhammer, stayed for the Warhammer. People are too harsh on this game. At full price, absolutely a stretch on its value. But maybe for up to $20 and/or when on sale? Absolutely worth the price. I did get it on sale for $5 all in with DLC, so I am biased on this part, but do not let the reviews sway you one way or the other. Try it out for yourself. The story isn't great, and at times it's very samey-samey for environments, but the missions are quick and the story is easy enough to follow that it's engaging. The voice acting is pretty good too. The game does a great job at introducing you to systems as you unlock them. Not to mention it's online co-op! The cons I have are the copy paste environments/enemies (literally every mission starts in the same "primary" map before proceeding to the "new map" as if you are traveling there) and the poor audio balancing. Some abilities are way louder than others. Overall, a 6/10 game but no where near the level of hate that others give.

I personally like the game, but I understand why nobody I know does. I can't get anyone to play with me because all my friends hate this game. I'm just being honest. Believe me I hate that this is the case because I honestly just would love to play through it at least once to see the story... But it's just too boring to solo. It's a game made to be played with others. The only 2 people I could get to try it couldn't get past the first area with me... We did like 4-5 of the sewer levels and I think went to the graveyard and that's the last thing I can remember. First of all, my friends are not Warhammer fans. I am. I think that makes a huge difference in whether or not you're willing to tolerate this game in its' current state or not. I think this game looks great and that if you basically pretend you're playing Gauntlet and could find 3 people willing to play with you then it's a great arcade style hack and slash game. I wouldn't really call this game an RPG... You don't have creative control over anything, there's no alternate outcomes, I haven't played in a while but from what I remember your character just responds automatically and you have no control over what they say... Honestly it was pointless to even have characters level up... Your entire chart is streamlined. You have no creative control. They should have made it more have like a hack n slash adventure game or something. Armor and weapons do look different and everything which I guess is cool, but there's a set system that is honestly more trouble than it is interesting because like... how do I explain this... There are like 5 sets that seem to exist endlessly, and each one levels up as you progress, but they're not like unique epic set items from most other RPG's... I guess it kind of is... I don't know. It's just a mess or something. I don't even know how to explain why I don't like it lol... It just seems like a chore to constantly try and match things as opposed to running dungeons to get cool set pieces... You'll see what I mean if you're going to play... lol Also, it's really buggy which was ultimately what caused the 2 people I had gotten to play with me to quit. They were tired of the quest giver not talking to us for whatever reason. The game would literally just stop working constantly and the only way to fix it seemed to be for us all to just quit and log back in and sometimes it would reset things and the quest giver would finally talk to us... It was so annoying... My one team mate was finally like "I don't like this game. I just can't play this anymore. you guys should just get Grim Dawn..." and they quit which caused my other friend to tag along and basically was like "yeah, sorry man but this game is just too broken... I really wanted to like it, and I did like my engineer character, but this is just too annoying." and my friend is literally an engineer so she loved the character!? We really couldn't figure out how to fix it. The game is just really unpolished and I cannot believe they're STILL asking for the price they're asking for and haven't just bundled it all together into 1 purchase for like $15... There are actually a few things they could do to make this game worth playing and it could even thrive and grow, but they just designed the game seemingly to be a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cash grab maybe to fund other projects or something? I don't know. But the game just seemed like they totally abandoned it and made little to no effort to fix it, but just kept plowing on through, releasing more DLC and asking for more money for their broken game lol... Luckily I got here after everything had already been released and just bought everything all at once on sale like as a bundle or something from humble bundle or fanatical or something like that... I could sit here and waste time bothering to list specific things that could improve the game, but there's no point. I wouldn't be surprised if this is just another Warhammer game that comes out, takes all of the Warhammer fans of the world's money, and we're all like "damn it we fell for it again... another ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Warhammer game... Why do we keep paying for these?! Why?!", the company totally and utterly abandons the game after years of ignoring fans requests and recommendations, and then eventually it will get swept under a rug and you won't even be able to buy it anymore, only people who already bought it will be able to install it maybe for however long... Honestly? What I'm hoping for is that Owlcat gets to make another Warhammer game. They have proven themselves as amazing fantasy RPG creators with the Pathfinder games they did, and they did a fantastically wonderful job with Rogue Trader... I'd LOVE to see them create a fantasy classic Warhammer game or Age of Sigmar... I will probably break down and play this game solo soon. I'm actually on the page now considering reinstalling it since it's been a few months since my friends bailed on me... I've not seen how the human paladin or elf mage play... I was the elf archer, and my friends were the dwarf engineer and I can't remember if they were the dwarf barbarian or human inquisitor anymore... I just remember us discussing that they weren't sure which they'd choose lol... That let's you know how little we played lol... I personally give this game like 6/10 because I honestly like the way it looks and the story isn't all that bad. I did like the intro actually from what I remember. It uses the old illustrated storybook style to tell the stories in the intro, kind of similar to like Age of Empires II... And I like that personally. The game itself is good looking and I like that they start you off with Nerglings. I really didn't get to play it enough. I think if I look at it more like an arcade adventure story game instead of a full fledged RPG that I might enjoy the story in between the grinding. And I honestly didn't hate the grind. I'm going to install it now and go ahead and try it out again. I'm trying to install Vermintide 1 and Battlesector as well... I'm in a Warhammer mood again... I did get Grim Dawn with my friend and I don't have that installed anymore either if that tells you anything lol... I'm kind of burnt out on ALL ARPG games tbh.

Sometimes I wish there was a third option for Steam Reviews that is just ‘it ok’. It’s a decent ARPG, and the devs clearly know their Old World Warhammer. But it feels like a very superficial rendition of Warhammer where they didn’t try to experiment more or tried to come up with something interesting. I finished the game as the Dwarf Slayer, and while it is fun to play a suicidal, gung-ho dwarf who plows through hordes of chaos cultists, the simple lay-outs of the map and the lack of much diversity when it comes to building your character means I didn’t really feel engaged. For a game where I can shut my brain off though? Ideal. But even in that ballpark, there’s better games. Overall score: 5/10

Пролежала в библиотеке 7 лет. :) Оказалась прямо таким крепким среднячком и затянула.

Incredibly dull and lifeless. The plot is lackluster at the best of times, the gameplay is mindless even on higher difficulties, the environments are all the same few levels over and over again of copy pasted generic zones, and character progression feels irrelevant and as if the "RPG" elements were thrown in at the last moment because they forgot that Diablo had skill trees. If Diablo 3 is Diet Diablo, then this is store brand Diet Diablo that has been left out in the sun for a few days and lost any fizz it had. Even as a Warhammer fan, I have nothing good to say about this game. The only reason I played past the first 30 minutes is because I got this in a bundle and couldn't refund it. Additional note after 12 hours: Still don't have all my card drops yet, and I've been surprised by how many things this game gets absolutely Wrong about the lore of Warhammer.

Один из худших диаблоидов, которые я видел (из платных и известных, конечно). Паразитирование на известной франшизе, большие амбиции, а по факту не доведено до ума вообще ничего. Гораздо лучше было бы забросить идею с диаблоидом и переделать в кликер, ведь всё равно только этим и занимаешься в игре, никакой сложности мобы не представляют, большинство даже с трудом могут бежать в сторону героя и атаковать. Торговли нет, дополнительных квестов нет. С самого начала игры обильно выдаются в награду осколки самых разных цветов и золото. Вот только уже на 30-м уровне, а так и не понял, осколки чего это и зачем? А золото зачем, раз торговцев нет? Ничего не объясняется, даже имена противников не видны и их особенности. Играть только если у вас флешмоб на все игры, где есть дворфийки.

평가 복합적임에도 불구하고 멀티로 아주 재밌게 했음. 물론 디아블로가 낫지만 마음 맞는 사람들끼리 멀티하면 이것도 재밌긴 함. - 멀티로 할시 퀘스트를 안주는 버그가 자주 발생하지만 나갔다가 다시 들어오면 되기 때문에 치명적인 버그는 아님. - 보스들이 보통과 카오스의 수준이 천지차이로 다르(패턴, 데미지, 에너지 등)기 때문에 자기 수준보다 난이도를 높이면 지루하지 않게 게임할 수 있음. 도전과제 - dlc없이도 100% 달성 가능. 단 경험치나 피해 등이 미세하게 부스트 되기 때문에 슬레이어 에디션으로 하는게 유리하긴 함. - 도과 달성율이 높진 않지만 못깨는게 아니고 안깨는 수준. 모든 도과는 파밍으로 달성 가능. 최대의 난관은 5캐릭으로 챕터4까지 엔딩보기(챕터5,6은 dlc시나리오라 무시해도 상관없음)인데 주캐말고는 매우 쉬움으로 쉽게 깰 수는 있지만 캐릭당 3~4시간 투자는 해야 함.
