You'll spend more time in menus, building structures and recruiting or training units than you will on the battlefield. While you might think being an agent of Chaos would be a job full of carnage and destruction, the truth is, most of the time Chaos & Conquest winds up being a bureaucratic and logistic nightmare instead. It doesn't help that everything the Chaos touches seems to have inherited a look that blends together into a hellscape ripped from a '80s heavy metal album cover. Whether you try to zoom in tight on the action or out to try and take everything in, it's difficult to make out much of what's happening onscreen. The game looks fantastic, though building up your base quickly becomes a highly detailed, but extremely cluttered, mess. But if Warhammer: Chaos & Conquest is any indication, being bad isn't necessarily all it's cracked up to be. While most games tend to put players in the role of the heroes, sometimes it just feels good to be the bad guys.

Rain down bloody Chaos prove to your god that you are worthy of the title Everchosen. Eventually, you'll further increase your influence by joining with other warbands in grand alliances, pooling your respective resources while defending each other from rival warband attacks. Once your forces are sufficient, you'll lead them into the Old World and pillage to your dark heart's content. You'll also swear fealty to your chosen Chaos God and craft a temple in its name, perhaps gaining a blessing in return. You'll collect resources and build your essential war college including forges, citadels, conclaves and more. To succeed, you'll need to recruit and summon the most powerful Daemons, Warlords, warriors, and soldiers, eager to serve at the behest of the deities' whims. Set within Games Workshop's Warhammer Fantasy universe, players must build up and maintain their personal warbands, capable of sowing death and destruction on any that stand in their paths. Spread the word of Chaos throughout the Old World in WARHAMMER: CHAOS & CONQUEST.
