Yet another new aRPG joins the fray. This one is made by the same people who made Warhammer: Chaosbane.
They have a fourth class in the works, the Archer (toxic damage).
First impression: it kinda looks like a Diablo 3 clone 
But that doesn’t mean its gonna be bad. I actually liked Diablo 3 for the mindless slaughterfest it was. Maybe this game will have some deeper mechanics, but I’d be fine with a casual approach too. Not every ARPG has to be on the level of Grim Dawn or Path of Exile.
Warhammer: Chaosbane. definitely was more casual. Though this:
already looks more complicated than I remember Chaosbane to be. Hopefully it’ll be more interesting. 
yeah I saw that in one of the trailers, not sure what I’m looking at but there seems to be at least some depth to it. Maybe some kind of mix’n’match system for skill customisation? Could be interesting…
I haven’t played Chaosbane, so don’t know what to expect from this game either.
From what I can gather from the comments here, the combat and skill system is dumbed down even more than D3.
What about the world design and quest system? Does Chaosbane have an open world that’s worth exploring, or does it join the long list of uninteresting Warhammer shovelware. Same question about quests, does Chaosbane have interesting quests?
No. It’s very linear, you can choose some paths iirc, but after that it’s very linear. I can’t remember too much from it tbh 
GD is 100x more interesting to me.
That’s disappointing.
Guess we’ll just have to wait and see how Dragonkin turn out.
Yeah that’s how I felt playing it 
hopefully they can do more here.
@Bas, @Ellium & @Volek - Did any of you get around to playing the early access of Dragonkin? I’m hesitant to get into it atm because of the game being in E.A.
Not me, I’m occupied with the Fangs of Asterkarn playtest 
Just checked the steam reviews, only 63% positive, which is to be expected from an EA release.
I also saw this review video, which explains all the systems in this game.
The game has some really nice QoL features such as the town screen (no need to walk to all the different town npcs), and the Wyrmling reminds me of the Ghost companion in Van Helsing so that seems pretty cool too. Sadly he doesn’t show much of the combat, but apart from the bad camera perspective (which you can change) it looked alright.
btw this guy is currently streaming the game on YT and Twitch, he just said he played the game nonstop for 19 hours yesterday so I think he likes it.
It seems promising, but even if I had the time to play it, I would wait a few months and check back after they added some content and polish.

Nope, I don’t really like playing early access games. I’ll get burned out on starting over before the game is even properly released

Sorry, I’ve been busy elsewhere. Will have to check the full release to see if it’s good or not.
