Blood bowl 2 news3/27/2023 ![]() However, on the positive, it’s now ensuring that it does stack up, cage, and force block targets into the crowd reliably, as well as use secret weapons without wrecking their own team in the process, so hey! The AI is certainly enough to give you an acceptable run for the money now. Suffice to say the AI now puts up a much more respectable fight, though once again the AI is still making some wonderfully silly decisions such as blitzing a target who the blitzer is right next to, or not targeting the ball carrier even when the runner is within TD distance. Having Khorne return would add another genuinely interesting team back in.Īs for the gameplay, my focus is on the single-player side, not the multiplayer (as yet) since that would take too long to get a proper handle on within the scope of this review. Kislev is -by far- the more interesting of the two with a far more tricky playstyle and a need for good positioning and off-ball play determining the ability to succeed, the Bretonnians function as a “slightly different” human team with lots of Wrestle thrown in to help cover for their linemen being a bit below par. The rest of the audio is “forgettable” and if there’s anywhere where Cyanide could also pour a bit more into the budget for a final expansion to complete the BB2 experience, the sound is one of the areas I’d suggest more investment in.Īs for the teams themselves, the twenty-two that carries over from BB1CE are carbon copies or very close matches so there’s really little to add there, the two “Original” teams we see in BB2 are the Bretonnians (Nobles and Peasants) and Kislev (A cross between Norse and a Circus act). Generally, there are a few racial specific speeches, some race “pair” speeches at the start, and a handful of more generic speeches and you will have heard the lot within a dozen games and by the second dozen, you’ll be considering muting the commentators. The additional stadium (suitable for eastern flavoured teams such as the Khemri) is a welcome addition, along with Orc Cheerleaders (which is an image I will never be able to unsee) again adds welcome variety, we could benefit from Undead Cheerleaders, Elf Cheerleaders, and Dwarf Cheerleaders along with a Daemonic Stadium and a Tribal/Norse/Amazonian Stadium to give us enough variety that teams do not feel quite so indistinct though.Ī less welcome return is the commentary which still remains very shallow and is missing a lot of variety and depth that would be expected from sports games as a whole. ![]() ![]() The stadiums, the players, and everything in between have had a welcome coat of spit and shine that has ensured that the game should remain relevant for some time to come. The twenty-two other teams are represented in their full glory from Chaos Edition (sans the visual changes as they level, again, one of those other omissions that could do with a content fix in the future) and the bump in visual fidelity from the first game is a welcome addition. ![]()
