The battles are fast and furious as one would expect from this type of game. I had to turn the volume for the spoken dialogue all the way off by the second Act, because I couldn’t take it anymore. I’m talking original He-Man and She-Ra cartoon bad voice acting. That one poor line only highlighted Chaosbane‘s most egregious flaw: unbelievably bad voice acting. Is there a better place for disease than the sewers of a large city? I didn’t think so. Nurgle is the god of pestilence and disease. That’s pretty much exactly where I’d expect a Nurgle cult to meet. I think my favorite line in this whole section was regarding the shock of finding a Nurgle cult in the sewers.
First up is a sect of Nurgle worshipers, because let’s just get through the most disgusting god first. Similarly to Diablo III, Chaosbane has players running through the gamut of Chaos gods and their minions. They might not have played the earlier installments on PC, but it doesn’t take a genius to see that summoning a Greater Evil is pretty bad. However, it doesn’t take a seasoned fan to know that someone summoning Chaos daemons across the land is a bad thing, mmmkay?ĭiablo III was virtually the same for many PlayStation players.
Seasoned fans will know who King Magnus is beforehand, know who Teclis is immediately, and understand the dangers of Asavar Kul’s forces. The Warhammer Fantasy (including Age of Sigmar) fans will have the extra nuggets of knowledge to make plot points a bit more meaningful, but newcomers will not be confused. The game sets the stage for players, tells what is going on, and explains practically everything rather well. In fact, I could easily argue that players don’t need to know anything about any Warhammer before playing. I know some things about Warhammer Fantasy, but my forte is definitely Warhammer 40,000. Players don’t have to know anything about the Warhammer Fantasy (NOT Age of Sigmar) universe before playing, which is definitely a perk.
