    Only get if on deep discount. Played to end of campaign, max level for 1 character. This game is frustrating, there is a solid foundation for what could have been an excellent arpg that never materialized. It starts out very underwhelming, especially in character build choices, but by the time you hit endgame, there's something decent there. However, I just can't recommend it over other arpgs unless you've played …

    TLDR: DON'T even attempt to buy this game if it's not on a deep sale or in a heavily discounted bundle, and even then I'm not sure if it's worth your time. Story spoilers after this. The 4 main acts make probably the worst story and campaign of any ARPG I've ever played. Each act has the same exact progression as the first one, and I mean exactly the same. The characters may say different things and have their own …

    The amount of people reviewing this game and claiming there is no build freedom must not know what that even means, This game is heavily inspired by Diablo 3 where you unlock new abilities as you level up and must pick and choose which ones to use. You can swap them around at any time giving you plenty of freedom. There are tons of build variations with differing playstyles for each character. It's not the best game …

    Warhammer: Chaosbane — 9/10 Chaosbane isn't going to reinvent the Action RPG genre—and honestly, it doesn't need to. If you've played Diablo, Path of Exile, Grim Dawn, or pretty much any other ARPG in existence, you're going to know what you're getting into with Warhammer: Chaosbane. You kill things, collect increasingly ridiculous amounts of loot, kill more things, get stronger, and then return to kill those things …

    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 …

Players who liked Warhammer: Chaosbane talk about accessible and easy to pick up for casual players; those who didn't talk about repetitive maps and enemy variety. Which matters more to you?

Critics, per Wikipedia

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 website Metacritic. 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." PC Gamer and Push Square compared the title unfavorably to Diablo III while criticizing its dull combat, uninteresting loot, repetitive…

    Every act has 1 map that you keep repeating until you reach the final boss and kill it. The game had potential but missed opportunity to make it better. I just play it because I am bored, do not buy it unless you feel the same, but only on huge discount.

New dlc would release that breaks the SFO(Steel Faith Overhaul) mod this guy makes, a couple weeks later the mod would update bringing the new content up to par with the rest of the mod. I never minded because I could just play the new content in vanilla for a campaign or two and the mod has always been of a high caliber rivaling…
