Evaluation

Chainsaw Warrior launched on October 7, 2013 as a digital adaptation of the classic 1987 Games Workshop solo board game. After launch, the developer shipped a handful of updates — adding new equipment, achievements, and platform support (Mac and Linux) through early 2015. A sequel, Chainsaw Warrior: Lords of the Night, was announced in November 2014 and released in February 2015 as a separate product. The last notable activity on this base game was a small achievements update in July 2017 tied to a Warhammer promotional event, followed by the release of an official soundtrack DLC on September 19, 2017. A November 2016 post mentioned "a larger content update in 2017," which appears to have been fulfilled by the July 2017 achievements patch. There have been no developer communications or updates of any kind since that 2017 period. The game is currently listed as part of the "Warhammer Classics" collection on its store page, framing it as a piece of gaming history rather than an actively supported product. All DLC has been released. The developer has not announced any further content, and the update history shows no activity for nearly nine years. This is a complete, finished product.

Developer teased a 'larger content update in 2017.' This was plausibly fulfilled by the July 2017 achievements patch, and no further content has been announced or released since.

About this game

About Chainsaw Warrior

Chainsaw Warrior from Games Workshop is the classic nail-biting game for one strong-nerved player! It's the year 2032 and spatial warping has opened a hole into another dimension in the midst of the old municipal buildings at the heart of Manhattan. Bizarre and dangerous creatures are flooding into our dimension, intent on destruction. Behind their actions is a controlling intelligence known as 'Darkness', who intends to drag New York back into the warp – destroying it utterly!

Air strikes, ground assaults and WMDs have all failed to stop the swarming forces from beyond. All that remains is a single hope: a shadowy ex-special forces soldier, enhanced for combat and known only as 'Chainsaw Warrior'. Equipped with all the latest high-tech armaments, he must battle his way through to the trans-dimensional ground-zero and defeat Darkness. Not only are there swarms of zombies, mutants, traps, Chaos Agents and other twisted denizens between him and Darkness, time is the enemy too! Only an hour remains to save New York before it is torn from our world forever.

First published as a solo boardgame in 1987, it has been updated, translated and re-engineered for the digital generation. In Chainsaw Warrior it's just you against both the clock and a tide of evil! Can you prevail where all others have failed? You only have 60 minutes to save New York!
