Medieval slasher Warhaven: A unique take on the genre
If you’re looking for a Medieval Slasher with a little more finesse than your average free-to-play online game, you’re in luck. Warhaven aims to simplify the genre and give players more control over their experience, while still offering satisfying progression and quick thrills.
With colourful, vibrant fantasy battlefields, and a variety of different classes to cater to various playstyles, Warhaven offers something different from the usual Overwatch-style setup. Victory depends on finding the right synergies between your classes, and controlling mounted cannons strategically – but that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
As you go on kill streaks you’ll transform into a super-soldier or magical raven, granting you new abilities and allowing you to wreak havoc on the battlefield. This simple addition to the formula makes for a fun, satisfying, and quick-to-grasp slasher game, and we can’t wait to see where it goes.
If you’re a fan of the genre, you’ll appreciate just how atmospheric Warhaven’s battlefields are. With alternate routes, and detailed, beautiful visuals, this is one slasher game that doesn’t rely on its core gameplay to sell itself. Check out the trailer below:
There are a number of different modes on offer, such as Onslaught, where you’ll fight for control points, and Skirmish, in which battles are over a single objective. The classes themselves are what really make the game for me, though. With so many different ways to play, you’ll be able to find a synergistic team that suits your playstyle – whether you’re a swordsman, or a macemen, there’s a place for you.
Warhaven is set to release on Steam Early Access on September 21, and you can wishlist it right now. You can keep up to date with all the latest news via social media and the Warhaven Discord community, and we’ll be sure to keep you in the loop as this medieval juggernaut develops.
