New to the Slayer Edition is the Witch Hunter class, but you are also able to choose from a Soldier, Mage, Slayer, Scout and Engineer if you wanted to stick with one of the original offerings. There are six different characters to choose from in Chaosbane, each with their own particular personality, class and set of skills. There’s still a slower pace to the earlier missions than to the encounters that you’ll have later in the game, but this is more because of typical videogame mechanics required to show players the ropes and to get a handle on their chosen character. Chaosbane gets right into the thick of the action: following a previous war, your job is to mop up remnants of the Chaos hordes and prevent them from rising up and threating the world once again. One of the benefits of placing a game in an already existing universe such as Warhammer is the fact that there isn’t much of a requirement to set up the world and have a relatively slow opening full of exposition. Sitting firmly in the hack-and-slash genre, Chaosbane tasks you with defeating the hordes of Chaos while playing as a variety of different characters. Warhammer: Chaosbane is the most recent attempt to represent the Warhammer universe in videogame form, having originally released in May 2019 on PC, Xbox One and PS4, with the new Slayer Edition featuring all DLC and releasing on the two Xbox Series consoles and PlayStation 5 this month. However, the aesthetics have regularly appealed, and so any opportunity to jump into that world that doesn’t threaten my ability to pay rent is welcome. Warhammer is a property that I have always kept locked behind a particular door in my brain for fear of financial devastation related to the purchasing and painting of miniature figurines.
