As a player, you take on the role of one of the four gods of Chaos, each with its own strengths, weaknesses, and hell-bent on spreading corruption and destruction across the Old World. The gods include Khorne, the god of blood and skulls; Nurgle, the god of decay; Tzeentch, the god of change; and Slaanesh, the god of pleasure and pain.
