Chainsaw Warrior is essentially every action movie in the 80s turned into a dice-rolling game. A dimensional rift has opened up, resulting in New York being overrun by horrible mutants and other monstrosities, with a shapeless dark being running the show. In about one hour’s time the rift will open further and swallow the entire city. So it’s up to the titular hero to wade through hordes of terrible monsters in a desperate attempt to reach the Darkness and put a stop to the otherworldly assault. They’ll have to fight through a deck of over 50 cards just to reach a second, which is the only place where the Darkness will appear. Dying happens a lot.
ast time he saved New York. This time, he must save the world! And he’s still only got sixty minutes in which to do it. That’s right, Chainsaw Warrior is back with more guns, more enemies, more cards and, of course, chainsaws! Delve deep into the Mexican jungle to defeat the extra-dimensional horror known only as the Darkness. Face off against Aztec zombies and dodge deadly traps to complete your mission. Chainsaw Warrior: Lords of the Night is out now to download for PC via Steam.
Chainsaw Warrior, is quite literally the digital version of the game of the same name board. Besides choosing your outfit, opting to shoot a gun or melee attack or wait for the next letter, all we can do is play cards, throw dice and try to get the best possible result with the luck we have. There is a long and uninteresting generation sequence of characters at the beginning of the game, statistics are based on data releases and there is no option to re-roll.
Chainsaw Warrior is a brilliant rendition of a classic single-player board game. The degree to which you enjoy it, however, weighs heavily on your patience and persistence.
