![]() The graphical flourishes are important not only because they help to give character to individual players and stadiums, but in providing an easy read of strengths and weaknesses. They look beautiful as well, with stadiums and players alike far more detailed and colourful than those in the previous game. Each of the eight available has a distinct set of tactics so that playing with High Elves, for example, is a completely differnet proposition to playing with Orcs. That's important because it'd be a damn shame if any races were unavailable. It's a free piece of DLC rather than an exclusive. ![]() I thought these races were exclusive to preorders but they will be available as DLC after release, at exactly the same time they're given to those who preordered. However, preorder customers can also choose an extra race, either Lizardmen or Wood Elves. I've been playing with all eight of the launch races - that's Humans, Skaven, Orcs, Dwarves, High Elves, Dark Elves, Chaos and Bretonnia. The current beta for those who've preordered provides access to four races and the initial relase will contain an additional four. And I can't even blame a troublesome headset for my troubles, as I normally would when failing so dramatically in an online game.īefore getting into the nitty-gritty of the specific tactics for each race, which is the heart of the game, I need to clear up a misconception that I unwittingly nourished a couple of weeks ago. I've learned that as much as love Skaven, they don't suit my playstyle at all, and that I am not as smart a coach as I thought I was. The few hours I've spent with Blood Bowl 2 have involved a bunch of matches against the AI, to familiarise myself with the eight races included, and a few forays into the online mode. ![]() But does this sequel make the most of the robust ruleset and does it improve on the flaws of the previous attempt? Yes. The concept is immediately appealing to me - a violent sport in the Warhammer Fantasy universe - and each match is a condensed tactical battle, short enough to burn through in a short lunchbreak but capable of plugging into a long-term season or tournament format. ![]() I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed Blood Bowl until I got my hands on a preview build of the sequel to Cyanide's digital version. ![]()
