Blood Bowl 2 Nurgle introduces a new playable race, the worshipers of Chaos, formed by Putrid, Pestigores, Warriors Nurgle and Beasts, along with its star player Lord Borak the Looter. The God Nurgle is specialized in corruption and disease, so his followers are so rotten. This new team has great strength and endurance, but they lack a lot of agility, reason why their movement is very reduced as well as their ball possession.
So you know, if you're one of the chaos worshipers, this team along with their incredible player models, you will love it.
The animations are visceral, and the buildup of suspense knowing that any hit could remove your player from the game, or remove him from existence, keeps you on edge.
A good digital version of the tabletop classic, Blood Bowl 2 mixes good humor with tactical depth.
All in all if you are looking for a fun strategy sports themed game with a multiplayer focus, this one might be worth taking a look at.
With its dice rolling it lacks the dynamics of modern videogames and the lowgrade AI might kill all the fun in offline play. But if you compete online this is a faithful recreation of the tabletop game.
While the superb atmosphere and the sheer (and surprising) tactical depth easily manage to engage anyone somewhat interested in strategy and/or Warhammer games, this one of a kind symbiosis of fantasy football, over-the-top bloody humour and smart gameplay does struggle with console hardware, loading times, rather mediocre graphics and an annoying DLC species roster.
An improvement over its predecessor, but falters just enough to stop it from becoming an integral strategy title. [Issue#167, p.96]
Blood Bowl 2 is the flashiest iteration of the game so far, but its dice rolls are frustrating, and its amble ruleset isn't introduced well to newcomers.
