The problem however is that this system is completely unfit for purpose. You have the option to place your players how you want and then save the formation for use in later games. One severe irritation is the formation set up before a match. The commentary team are amusing, but the repetitive lines start to grate There are also plenty of clipping issues too, especially with the Skaven attack animations.īizarrely, lots of other touches and polish seems to be lacking here that were present in previous versions, such as all of the spectators being human and having the exact same face, all of the cheerleaders are human now nomatter which teams are playing on the field. And it plays at a… relaxed pace as it is. New animations have been added, the UI has been neatened up conisderably form previous versions.īut, the swanky new animations that the game is so keen to show off every time you make a block and the re-winding every time you use a re-roll just slows the game down. You will learn more about the game and prioritising your turn order, team composition etc by playing against good human players than you ever will playing against the quite frankly awful AI.Ĭyanide have beefed up the visuals and the player models are, for the most part, extremely well detailed and inkeeping with the traditional look and feel of the Warhammer universe. There are options to create a vast amount of leagues with your friends or you can delve into any of the many, many public leagues and do battle with strangers. You can also form leagues and cup competitions with AI teams to play through, but the computer controlled teams will never give you as good a game as a human opponent and multiplayer is where Blood Bowl shines the most. In fact I completed the campaign with only conceding one touch down. It is essentially a 10 hour tutorial and aside from having a few amusing moment from the commentators it won’t provie you with a challenge or anything of value. One of the new additions to Blood Bowl 2 is a story driven campaign mode, which is unfortunately dreadful. Although to be fair, there is nothing funnier than murdering your opponent’s best player. Conversely it’s also devestating when your star thrower suffers a horrific injury or even worse dies on the field of play. It’s incredibly satisfying watching your team grow from fresh meat for the grinder to hardened Blood Bowl stars. As your players level up you can unlock new skills that help to mitigate the dice element in the game by essentially giving you re-rolls for certain actions or giving you bonuses. When playing in league play, your players will earn experience from completing actions such as injuring opponents, completing passes and scoring touchdowns. And then of course we have the posing High Elves and their cowardly passing game, but the less said about those girls the better. Can you tell I really like the Orcs? There’s just something incredibly satisfying about securing the ball, forming a cage and then carving a bloody path to the end zone. As we all know Orcs make the best Blood Bowl players, they offer a nice balance between speed and power and once they’ve dismembered the opposition they’re not bad with the ball either. The Skaven are lighting fast and can dodge enemy attacks, but are incredibly fragile. Each race plays in a different way, the Dwarfs for example are slow and immobile but are so heavily armoured it’s impossibel to get them off the pitch. The main strength of Blood Bowl is of course the playable races. A faithful digital interpretation of the Games Workshop board game
