![]() Now we’re working on more major IPs like Warhammer 40K: Space Hulk and this kind of stuff. Since then we’ve been working with all their IPs in this manner. We managed to find a deal where we said, “We’ll stop exploiting the Chaos League licence and we start exploiting the Blood Bowl licence with you.” Since Chaos League was very fun and did well, they were more than happy to work with us at this point. When we shipped the game we had a really good success, and they were a bit unhappy because it was so close to Blood Bowl that they felt like we cheated their IP. Since we were really eager to make the game we decided to do it even though we didn’t have the licence, so we created a new licence which was very similar to theirs. They did not want at that time to share their licences with us. Sylvain Sechi: Actually, the little story is we did not manage to get the IP from Games Workshop. ![]() I don’t know if you heard about this game? It was a really passionate project because Cyanide had already done Chaos League before. ![]() When I got into Cyanide eight years ago it was as game designer on Blood Bowl 1. We used to play it with my cousins and we were not really faithful to the rules back then because we were a bit young. Actually that was the very first miniature game I played from Games Workshop. Sylvain Sechi: I played it on I think the third or fourth edition with my cousin. RPS: How far back does your personal history with Blood Bowl go? Did you play the board game? Will Blood Bowl 2 remedy that? I spoke to Sylvain Sechi, project manager on Cyanide Studio’s Blood Bowl 2, to try to find out. The judgemental timer of Steam says I’ve played Blood Bowl more than a lot of other games in my library, more than plenty of games I play without having to complain about the interface, or the AI, or the fact you can’t turn the commentators off and turning their volume down banishes them only until you score a touchdown and then suddenly they’re back in your headphones and GRRR GORBAG SO CRANKY.īlood Bowl is a game I love in spite of its flaws but find hard to recommend. He wrote Orcs like football hooligans and so Games Workshop's idea of them actually playing football – albeit a version of American football where mutilations are encouraged – makes some sort of sense. Right now, it's above average.I blame Tolkien. ![]() If there was more of a balance to the way people are targeted, and more expansion into the game beyond adding new creatures, this would be perfect to fulfill the fantasy and sports nerd inside of me. The only real flaw behind it is that there are no real expanded career modes like you would find in football games, and there's a heavy tendency to watching your star player get taken out over and over. credit//Focus Home Interactiveīlood Bowl 2: Legendary Edition has a lot going for it that will entice fans that have already conquered the previous versions and entice people who haven't tried it yet. There are restrictions in the Challenge mode, but beyond that, if you're just having fun making a football team, you can craft it out however you wish. This time around, you get to mix and match what you feel works best in the scenario you've been given. Previous you could only create teams out of all goblins or all orcs or all humans, etc. One of the best bonuses to the game is the mixed-race teams. Those who have played it before will feel right at home, while those who are just jumping in will be able to pick it up very quickly. Essentially, it's the same as Blood Bowl 2, just with some added bells and whistles that make it a little more fun to play. The primary differences in this version are that you have a new race to play with called the Kislev Circus and their ferocious Tame Bears, and a few new twists on the dice and combat mechanics that smooth things over. credit//Focus Home InteractiveĪ lot of what your focus will be on taking out opponents on the other team and finding a way to score, much like the previous incarnations. You'll play in the Eternal League where you go from team to team, beating them like you would as someone in the AFC or NFC, slowly building up your squad to become a formidable force and take over the Blood Bowl as champion. ![]() The game itself seems pretty simplistic on the surface, but you quickly find there's a lot more strategy to it than your standard Madden title. Blood Bowl 2: Legendary Edition is a tactical fantasy sports game where you play as a football team of warriors and creatures trying to score points against the opposing side. ![]()
