![]() It’s almost like a puzzle, as you’ll need to learn specific skills and strategies to figure out the solution. In this mode you are given a specific objective or situation and you will need to solve it. Since this campaign is much lengthier than the Story Mode, you’ll be able to improve your team’s players and skills, which will be needed to overcome the constant string of new challenges and teams.Ĭhallenge Mode is also a new addition. Each season has a number of events that attempt to change up the gameplay in different ways, and this will force you to adapt with new strategies. This mode has you playing as any team, even one you create should you wish, across all four seasons of the year. New for single player is the Eternal League, which is aptly titled, as getting through it is going to feel like an eternity itself. Yes, remember, this is a video game based on a tabletop game, so a large bulk of the strategy you come up with will also almost come down to chance with die rolls. Eventually you’ll need to factor in your chances to run or throw while hoping you land those dice rolls in your favor. The first game or two are simple to win, as certain modifiers like rolling a die to successfully throw and catch a pass for example, is disabled, as it attempts to ease you into the deeper strategies. It took me a handful of lengthy games to get the hang of things and how to properly strategize given the mechanics. It does an alright job at teaching you the basics, though I would have liked a lot more explanations about certain movements and strategies. As far as I know, this is the same campaign that the base Blood Bowl 2 used as well, but it’s a great starting point to learn the basics and mechanics of Blood Bowl 2’s gameplay that becomes deeper the more you learn about it. It’s a simple setup but it works, playing over the course of a dozen games or so. The team used to be legendary, but they are cellar dwellers now, so the club owner has called for a new coach to bring them back to their former glory, which is you the player. Even though it’s based on a real world sport ideas (football), this video game plays nothing like it.īelieve it or not, there is a Story Mode to be found here, which revolves around a human team known as the Reikland Reavers. There’s a new stadium, a new single player mode called Eternal League, a Challenge Mode, and for the first time ever you can create a team with a combination of different races, which adds a whole new level of entertainment and creative teams. The expansion (again, which is included) adds 8 new races to the roster: Ogres, Amazon, Halflings, Elven Union, Goblins, Vampires, Underworld Denizens and the Kislev Circus. ![]() I initially thought the bulk of the DLC was simply cosmetic, as you’re getting 16 new races in total, but there’s also a ton of new features and modes that’s been included and improved upon since the core game's release. ![]() So, what’s been added with the Legendary Edition you ask? At a quick glance, you get the base game as well as the expansion and team pack, all of which adds a ton of content to the base game, and all of which is the content currently released. ![]() Blood Bowl 2 is essentially a mashup of the tabletop game Warhammer and American football, and while I expected the gameplay to perform like a Madden football game, it’s actually nothing like that at all, and more like a strategy game, akin to the board game version out there. The game was developed by Cyanide Studios and was actually released back in 2015, but now the Legendary Edition has been released with a slew of added content to appease fans while hopefully garnering new ones. This is a digital age though, so naturally, Blood Bowl 2 has been adapted to video game form for gamers to get into. I’ve never gotten into Games Workshop board games before either, and these people are known for their Warhammer IP, which is probably why I’ve never really been into their stores and noticed Blood Bowl as a board game before. I expected it to be a football-like game akin to something like Mutant League Football, but oh boy, I was way off base, as I never realized that Blood Bowl has actually been around since the mid 80’s just over 30 years actually. That leads me to this review as I took on the duties to check out Blood Bowl 2: Legendary Edition. I don’t play sports game much, if at all, except for the odd few exceptions. ![]()
