game that pitted the player not against others but against the clock. ... The game is due to release on iPad, iPhone and Android at the end of summer at a price point and date to be announced soon." The announcement received widespread coverage by the gaming and hobby press. The game port is being produced by the same designer as Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land, another 1980s game that was converted to a digital format. The iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch versions of the game were released on 23 September 2013. 148apps described it as "a brutally awesome good time". Gamercast wrote it was an accurate adaptation of the original, saying it has "everything you want in a digitised version of the Games Workshop classic". A PC port of the digital version was released on Valve's Steam service on 7 October 2013. In November 2014, the developer of the mobile and PC version, Auroch Digital, announced a follow-on title, Chainsaw Warrior: Lords of the Night, released in early 2015. The sequel introduced a new Mayan theme, with a number of new enemies and gameplay options, including temples that contain guardians, special boss-level enemy types. By beating these guardians, the player is granted bonuses, known in-game as blessings. The game was launched on to Steam on the 18 February. It was then launched to mobile devices on the 17 April 2015. Reception Jervis Johnson reviewed Chainsaw Warrior for White Dwarf #88, and stated that "Ultimately, Chainsaw Warrior is an easy game to play – and a difficult game to win. Above all, it's a lot of fun!"
