Set in the Warhammer Fantasy world, the game casts you as a hero fighting the Chaos hordes. Choose a hero with a distinct combat style and take on missions through locations threatened by Chaos.
The core loop is to battle groups of enemies, defeat bosses, earn experience, and collect equipment. As your hero levels up, skills unlock; you can select abilities and combine them to suit your approach.
Play alone or in local or online co-op with up to four players. After the campaign, activities include boss rushes, relic hunts, and dungeons, with difficulty options and modifiers that raise the challenge.
Player opinions are mixed. Reviewers who enjoy the game often describe its combat as satisfying and approachable, with crowds of enemies, distinct hero abilities, and the Warhammer setting adding to the appeal. Co-op is a recurring draw, while other players find the missions repetitive and the progression or loot too shallow; several also report problems in co-op.
