Each of your players can be moved, or instructed to do things like attack opposition players, pick up or run with the ball. The actual Blood Bowl games, happily, are quite fun to play – in part due to the fact that they only bear the loosest resemblance to American Football, so there are no hideously complex plays or the like to memorise and execute. Unfortunately, when plunge into some action, their commentary swiftly becomes annoyingly repetitive. The single-player campaign is linked and commentated on by a vampire and an ogre, called Jim and Bob respectively, who come out with some mildly amusing banter that revels in the mindless violence which forms a large part of the game. Visually, it conjures images of heavy metal tribute bands.īeyond the aesthetics, it has a jokey, unsophisticated, again heavy metal-type vibe. Imagine painted Dungeons & Dragons figurines brought to digital life and you’ll pretty much have a handle on its look. It’s easy enough to negotiate, whether you’re navigating its menu systems or engaging in some gameplay, and the leap to the current-gen consoles has added hitherto undreamt-of levels of crispness to the graphics, although visually it won’t impress you if you prefer your games to belong to the artier end of the spectrum. The original Blood Bowl game had a distinctly amateurish feel to it, with an infuriatingly unintuitive interface and graphics that were best described as rough around the edges, but Blood Bowl 2 has more or less banished such flaws. Which is only to be expected, since it was derived from a Games Workshop board game.
And as if that wasn’t unfashionable enough, it’s also turn-based. Conceptually, it requires its audience to possess a wide streak of geekiness, since it somehow manages to combine American Football and Warhammer, complete with orcs, dwarves and the like.
#Blood bowl 2 ps4 update#
Speaking of which the communities function in the new update seems like a good way of finding fellow players.Īll in all i like the fluidity of controls on ps4 and movement but the PC community and ease of chatting to other players makes it a better pc game.If you feel that modern games have become rather too similar, then Blood Bowl 2 might pique your interest: there’s certainly no mistaking it for anything else.
#Blood bowl 2 ps4 tv#
Game works absolutely fine for me and in naf all my matchups have been fair and very close in TV and I'm in australia so our playing community is very small. There are however less chances for a misclick. I really like the controller movement it is smooth and quite fast but having to select square then down down x just to stand ppl up rather than a double mouse click is a little annoying.
I've even had bloodbowl party nights where we drink and hand the controller around so everyone plays everyone else. The PS4 does have some advantages though.2 player parties or when ppl drop over is great. There is also a much much larger community of players and leagues.
I play mainly on the PC now because i find being able to chat to the opposing coach is much better and selecting menus and special actions etc a bit easier on PC.
