Play A Proto-Space Marine In Chainsaw Warrior On PC
October 9, 2013 by brennon
If you want to see where 'some' Space Marines came from (apart from books and comics) then see what you think of the return of Chainsaw Warrior on PC thanks to Auroch Digital. Above I could have shown the trailer but I instead added in the WTF from Total Biscuit...
Chainsaw Warrior sees you playing a hero who looks an awful lot like a Space Marine (note the 'Chainsword') fighting through an infested New York City in just sixty minutes. Think Fighting Fantasy with more blood, more cards and plenty of ways to die.
As Total Biscuit points out the game is very much driven by luck and although I don't remember the card/board game itself when it was out it does look like it could be pretty brutal if you roll badly. I guess in a way that could be the draw though as you want to go back in and try your luck with a new set of stats and some new weaponry.
This new version of the game is also available on iDevice and Android too so if you want to fight on the go then you can do.
Do you remember this game and are you looking for a nostalgia trip?

‘PROTO SPACE MARINE CHAINSAW WARRIOR’ sounds like a great title for a power metal tune!

Only one?
Say Space Marine three times in front of a mirror and Matt Ward will come after you.
Will the chainsaw be enough to cut through all that litigation? He may need a sexy paralegal sidekick.
Have you played GW’s new RPG yet ‘Warhammer Legal’? Rules are a bit one sided. 😉
I can’t wait for the figures from the scum sucking bottom feeder faction! But then again, I probably couldn’t afford them anyway.
I still have the original game and the limited edition figures. It was pretty fun back then.
Should have watched the video first… I don’t really agree with the review. Yes, it’s essentially card solitaire and like all such games, you can get a deck that’s impossible to win with. I used to win this game regularly — it usually came down to the final combat with the Darkness, which really boils down to a handful of dice rolls. You do NOT waste your laser lance on other things!!! Even the implosion vest is only good for a draw. Also, there’s just no way to shoot your way through — be prepared to for hand to hand.… Read more »
