Warhammer: Chaosbane’s Wood Elf is an arrow-spitting, daemon-shredding Legolas imitator
Until I played the closed beta, all I’d seen of Warhammer: Chaosbane was two short demo sessions. I was impressed by developer Eko Software’s realisation of the game’s characters: the tanky Empire Soldier, spellcasting High Elf mage, and fiery Dwarf Slayer all deliver distinct power fantasies, feel great to play, and offer synergistic skills to a team while also being viable solo.
But I was left with two major questions: the first was regarding the mysterious fourth character - a Wood Elf - and the second was how Eko would bring them all together with a coherent story.
Those questions are now answered. Chaosbane opens with two cutscenes comprised of wood-carved storyboards. One introduces my character: the Wood Elf, Elessa, is a ‘windborne’, one who yearns for adventure away from their forest home of Athel Loren. Her elders have indulged her by letting her scout for the army of Magnus the Pious, the hero who reunited the Empire and led its people to victory in the Great War Against Chaos - a little under two hundred years before Chaos eventually won and destroyed the world.
