Warhammer: Chaosbane

[Gelly54]

Not seen a thread for this yet, anyone play the beta?

Looks alright but I've heard multilayer isn't great.

Out 4th June, 31th for Deluxe & Magnus editions

Review is out from IGN:

Solid

 

[Adnams Drinker]

Played one of the early betas and have just had an email to say it's been released today

Does look quite alright, might be worth a go.

Same here... No reviews yet on Steam though.
Fingers crossed it'll be one of the rare WH games that isn't terrible!

Total War & Vermintide 2 were pretty good WH games

It's not as slick and polished as Diablo 3 - which I remain a huge fan of and which keeps drawing me back in season after season - but as a fan of the genre I found it fun to play, which for me the highly-thought-of Path of Exile wasn't.

I dare say I'll be sinking more than a few hours into it this weekend, accompanied by beer or wine

A few bottles of ghost ship would go down a treat

Is it true there are no graphics settings?

I'll pick it up once they add a hardcore mode, cant see the point of diablo style games unless they have a hardcore mode.

Saw this the other day and harder modes are to be added soon:

Good man, I like your style ... although GS is a bit citrus-y for my palette

Yeah its those that I am waiting for, I only play Diablo and Path of Exile on hardcore because without the "permadeath" I just find it pointless as it becomes less about buildskill or playerskill and more about how much time you want to put in or how much you want to respawn

Got email earlier for release, thought it was July this was coming out. Can get it for around £22 on CDKeys. Will be picking this up.

I tip my hat for people willing to risk literally everything and play on hardcore. Not for me sadly, just feel like its a collosal waste of my life if I die.

Pretty poor review from PC gamer:

[Tombstone]

Blimey, 58% to 89% in the IGN review. Thats quite a span of difference !

 

[eekfek]

It's surprisingly good fun!

I've gone with the ranger class and just hit level 10. The skill system is quite deep and I can imagine there's a plethora of builds.

I was worried it was going to be another poor warhammer game trying to be the new diablo but it just feels totally different.

Whether it gets too repetitive time will tell but the combat is definitely a plus so far.

Better than Grimdawn ?
