The campaign expands beyond a single linear route. Each hero has unique abilities, weapons, play style, and levels, while disclosed environments include a hive city and a mangrove world. Chaos enemies include Bloodletters and Juggernauts, alongside new weapons and the returning chainsword.
This is not a pre-release review or walkthrough. The demo can support a bounded first slice, but it cannot establish the full campaign route, final balance, hidden secrets, best weapon, complete enemy list, console performance, or ending. Those claims require the retail build and a version label.
