deceptively simple but enjoyable turn-based strategy. ofc it's not total warhammer. but it's just a start for AoS games, and to be fair, not a bad one. unit design is very good, especially for nurgle and nighthaunt. mechanics are easy to grasp WAAY easier than other AoS game (Underworlds Online I am looking at you) and unit upgrades are really nice. played a couple of campaign battles and no bugs so far, fingers …

Turn-based strategy based on the Age of Sigmar Warhammer franchise. The game has rouge-like elements where your death results in your character being brought back to life with previously earned rewards and crawling through the set of levels (dungeon) from the beginning. I wasn't sure I would like the game based on the mixed reviews, but I took a chance during a sale and I'm glad I did. The art direction and voice …

Seems to be abandoned, would only make sense with more content, polishing and fixing bugs. Could be a good game, but no support - no thumbs up.

I played this game a ton when it first came out and kept anxiously awaiting updates after release as there were a ton of bugs on launch. Even after the Dec 2021 update there were game-breaking bugs and as you can see the devs pretty much abandoned the game after that. I postponed writing this review (the only game I've felt passionate enough about to take the time to even write a review for) for a long time in hopes …

I wanted to give this game a good review, but it's just not good enough and there is not enough content... You only have 3 factions with few units and 3 heroes per factions...so the gameplay gets quite repetitive and dull and in campaign you lose the moment you hero dies, that could be fine since they're strong but truth is they get taken out easily if focused so you could be forced to restart the whole campaign …

positive · AI labelView post →It is an abandoned game, which woudlnt be a problem if there werent some serious bugs, if you play for one of the faction, they have an ability to summon units through their core abilities, if you click on that unit, the whole game makes you stuck in "wait" phase and you need to quit the game and restart the whole mission, awesome, so one part of the strategy of said faction is useless, good job developers ive found another bug who completely crashes the game, its just simple using of ingame…

neutral · AI labelView post →Ultimately the game isn't "terrible", but it's a typical case of "what if". Also, it's buggy, unoptimized, laggy and just makes some weird design decisions (in my opinion). What you get is a hex based "pseudo Xcom" with 3 very distinct factions. There's the Stormcast Eternals, your regular humans in plate, who rely primarily on defense, knockbacks and melee combat. They can summon their units around their commander, i.e. basically anywhere you need them... Then there's the Nighthaunt, who are…

Ward Dunno 'bout you but personally, I'm so-o-o happy to see what's going on with Games Workshop's Warhammer franchise nowadays. When I finished school, we had, like, four games based on Fantasy Battle (HeroQuest and Dark Omen series) and about seven others based on 40K (Space Crusade, Space Hulk, Final Liberation, etc). That was pretty much it. Now? Now it's like with the Black Library. One lifetime just isn't enough to check out…

neutral · AI labelView post →I bought this on a DEEP discount. So much potential here but gets old very fast. Only 3 warbands, 2 of which are very meh and the only decent one is your standard generic knights dressed up in Warhammer gloss. Also, in the most bizarre design decision I've seen if you want to play with a different warband you have to lose your savegame and progress. You can only play with one at a time! At least it understands roguelike elements letting you keep your progress but resets the map if you die. I'd…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolutely horrible. This game feels and plays like ♥♥♥♥♥♥ mobile port. Even worse - a P2W mobile port without P2W part, so the game consantly twists player's balls waiting them to finally pay some money, but instead you just lose and start your run again. Yeah, it's a rogue-like. Unfortunately, developers, instead of making an adequate difficulty, where player's getting punished for their mistakes, decided to choose the other road: they just planely say at the beggining that the game will…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game still after months is absolutely riddled with bugs. stopped playing because of the bugs and the bad tooltips hud for the wargear. come back to see its updated and somehow is buggier now. playing a new nurgle campaign and cant even get to the 6th mission without the game stalling 3 times and have to save and restart missions. great game terrible with bugs.

Great game, set at 1K, Maggotkin one after a hard fight 30 points to 25. #warhammercommunity #newaos #leicesterphatcats
neutral · AI labelView post →It's extremely frustrating when the game freezes up and it does this especially when playing Maggot Kin (Nurgle). This said, you really shouldn't let that deter you. The three factions, Nurgle, Stormcast, and Haunt are very varied and play differently enough to afford great variety. Also adding to this is how units within the factions work and each can be set up very differently. Lastly, once you have mastered each of the factions in slay the spire type choose a path campaigns you have the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short review. Pretty solid game so far. Played all the factions (of the 3) a bit. Storm guard seem ok. Plague is amazing and OP in comparison and Haunt is eeehhhh - my opinion. Lot of little pros/cons but by far the reason for this review and the negative is the game crashing bug of "waiting". When you or the enemy does anything you'll see "waiting" as it doesn't want you to essentially try to queue up commands becasue it needs to wait for the action to finish to process your next action -…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Under the rubbles of a terrible UI, unexplained mechanics, clunky controls, there may be an ok tactical game, but I didn't dig long enough to find it, and probably with plenty of alternatives neither will you.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Probably one of the worst turn based games I have ever played. Huge fan of the Warhammer series and really enjoy RTS and turn based strategy games so I figured this would be up my alley, boy was I wrong. The game lacks any sort of story and has weird dialog moments, the levels are pretty much copy pasta, the objectives each mission are annoying, the graphics for what it is are pretty under par and the game just feels really boring. There are also no restarts/savegame/backing out of a match…

neutral · AI labelView post →No, sadly this game is not worth purchasing at any price. I bought it on sale. Been trying it out. But with no save feature you are doing exponetially the same levels over and over with only a tiny improvement carried over to start again with. I play grind games, Strategy. Tactic, turn, Rescourse games all the time. This type of formula. SUCKS. Not to mention only 3 of 25 factions from Age of Sigmar. No. Maybe in a few years if they do a huge over haul of the game and gobs of decent…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game started out so fun! But then you quickly realize its buggy and unfinished. The balance is horrible and the fact your single player progress doesn't carry over to multiplayer is just horrendous. Try waiting 10+ minutes for multiplayer match queue just to be paired up with someone level 20+ while you are level 1 just starting out. TERRIBLE mechanics.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As far as a turn-based strategy games go, and Warhammer for that matter, it is actually a decent game which i am rather enjoying thus far. It has issues beyond a doubt, and content wise it seems a little bare bones. But all in all it is one of the more enjoyable warhammer games i have played. Positive+ -Huge play-style customization ability - you are free to change and tinker with equipment, cards and units to tailor the way you want to play through the game. - Significant difference between…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It takes some time to get rewards in order to enhance the gameplay, but i would say it's worth the price, during good sales. Until it started to crash over and over, caused by random effects (boss dying hard blocked my second campaign progress, character using certain spells), and i just couldn't get back on the goodvibe train. I don't regret the time passed on it for the price i paid, but i leave with bitter saltiness, so i cannot recommand it since there won't probably be updage anymore for…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Workshop designed game, cooked up in someones backyard meth shed
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An absolutely monotonus grind. Battles are excruciatingly slow, with units only able to move short distances and usually not attack after moving meaning many rounds are just you and the cpu inching towards each other. Should you finally finish a handful of battles, expect to be stonewalled by big difficulty spikes designed to kill you to engage in the "roguelike" aspect of having to start over with slightly upgraded heroes and units. It's literally beating your head against a wall until you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →unfinished, unsupported. sad really, could have been a cute tactical game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →From begging it was very good experience. Something new, refreshing. It sucks that you cannot revert anything or save anything, so some deaths were very painful, but still I loved to play it. However, I cannot recommend it due to lot of bugs which are coming with last campaign. For some reason it just freezes and it is even worse when you played 45 minutes one stage and it froze 1 round to win and you can only save and quit, which means that you need to start that one from beggining. And when…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A completely boring game that doesn’t understand the player and what keeps him going. Not a single element of the gameplay holds up: The plot - there is so much pathos and overacting by the characters that it is too much even for Warhammer. The roguelite elements don't work and feel alien here. The tactical elements are so shallow and uncomplicated that match-3 games seem more strategically rich. The overall impression is that it's a mobile game, awkwardly ported and placed alongside PC…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Given the attention to the source material and the lore snippets and the artwork, you can tell the developers are fond of Warhammer. But the positives end there. This is a boring and monotonous game that seems more inspired by mobile/console games than anything else. The entire premise is centred on a deliberately disadvantaged player who cannot summon in units, has limited unit choices, no items and no buffs. You start with a very limited pool and then have to develop everything over the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very repetitive and grindy. Lacks variety in all aspects. The story is boring. I've never felt "forced" to play a game to get value out of it, until now.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Visually quite interesting at first but you have seen everything quite quickly. Colour options are really good designing your squad too. Unfortunately it's a tactics based game with almost no tactics. Many situations seem completely unwinnable and it never feels like you are making any interesting decisions.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The battle part of Heroes of Might and Magic updated to modern standards then framed by Roguelike. Nice piece. Infinite replayability. The other guys & gals are merely bashing the Viking themed Age of Sigmar property, like they do everywhere.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It could be a fun game; the core systems are interesting, the gameplay is fun. The attempts at dialogue / story are bland and worth skipping. Elements of the UI are quite clunky, especially when outside of battle -- everything takes longer than it should. All of this could be forgiven, except that this game loves the bug out, or straight up crash and lock up! Which is very annoying as the battles can be pretty slow, and those lock ups etc require you restart whole missions from the very start…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bottom line. It's decent. Fairly solid strategy game. Actually quite difficult at times. This is a rogue-lite game. You will die a lot. You will have to start over. The fun part is this actually fits into the lore. If you are into Age of Sigmar, you probably already own this, but if not, you should. If you're looking for a Warhammer Fantasy game, move along. This is not the Old World. If you just want a decent, reasonably challenging strategy game in a unique fantasy setting, pick this up.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tl;dr - This game only goes skin deep, and plays more similarly to a mobile phone game. Actually, I'm convinced this was originally pitched as a mobile game but Focus forced Gasket to pivot to PC. Likes: - Easy to pick up strategy game - Story is shallow, so it's easy to follow (this is from 9 hours into the game). - Gameplay has just enough depth to add _some_ complexity for casual gamers. Cons: - Gameplay is too akin to the brevity in most mobile strategy game. The UI strangely follows…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →played for a little over 10 hrs. extremely enjoyable. The things everyone is complaining about, like the times between animations, etc, are only 1 sec or 2. and the animations are a part of the actions of the characters, and only 1 time did i ever notice an actual bug; the enemy took a thinking time of 6 seconds. Overall, if you are a AoS fan, you will love it voices: Stellar Story-like script for a rogue-like game construction: Awesome and emersive. game play in general: super entertaining…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I took a chance on this game despite the luke warm reviews. I guess I expected something different than what I got. Which was small maps with super quick battles and the FOREVER annoying "you can collect these chests but only during the battle for bonus rewards". Ugh. Glad I got it on sale to try but not sure I'll come back to it. Play Mechanicus instead.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm sad to say this, but Age of Sigmar fans get terrible game deals. I personally really wanted to say that this game rocks, but while the style is to my liking, it isn't that good. Considering this is a roguelike, there isn't much in the story department. Each of the 3 factions are going towards their own personal goals (what I find funny is that they picked the 3 factions that actually have ways of forever returning into combat) but that's pretty much it. Now, when it comes to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Girls invading male spaces, and larping as men.. And, its awful. If youre not a feminist, best avoid. The gameplay is also slow, and boring.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In addition to the slow, repetitive grind other review mention, the UI is also very awkward and hostile to the user. I also found the characters to be pretty insufferable. The dialogue feels like it was written by the most annoying Warhammer fan you know. You know the one. I did like the army painter though. That was pretty cool. I especially appreciated the color choices were numbered.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nothing that hasn't been said before: slow, repetitive and an overall... meh.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the game itself is actually great. fun gameplay, mediocre story. what really makes this a ♥♥♥♥ no recommendation is the bugs. there is a bug that allows you to stack skills endlessly. there is a bug that when you equip more then one copy of a skill, it auto unequips ALL copies of that skill. these are just a couple of the worst offenders, but there are a LOT more
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is absolute trash. They lied about a lot, gave up on the game, then throw token updates out to make it seem otherwise. They wont even let you refund the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Started off fine, but overall it feels half baked with some bad design choices. I main gripes are when you lose a unit you must spend a miracle point (Which are rare to get). I played on easy and it's hard to keep units alive. This game is very punishing if you don't keep units alive, especially since the enemy can sometimes get continuous reinforcements. The game would be far more enjoyable if you got your units back after the mission. The game doesn't do a fantastic job of explaining…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →3 factions, the battles are very underwhelming, rosters aren't diverse. Shame because it has the bones of something neat. 3/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There's quite a lot of hate for this game but I highly suspect those reviews are being generated by Warhammer fans whom are not also Yu-Gi-Oh fans. To understand what makes AoS interesting and unique to many other Gamesworkshop titles is the anticipation of looting new and highly useful cards; especially those exclusively equipped by new units which you've also procured. AoS's progress is very similar to most rogue-likes where you will play over and over again making only marginal progress…

neutral · AI labelView post →One of the games that I would like to give a neutral review. Its not terrible, especially considering what other Warhammer games exist out there. But it also didnt pull me in at all. For the 2 Euro it costs on sale its worth to give it a try.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I saw this game a while ago on Youtube when it came out in 2021 and thought it looked kinda cool, so I bought it. Also, before I start this: this game is a roguelike. It doesn't explicitly tell you this, but it is. Keep this in mind before buying it. It's a hex-based skirmish-strategy game with three factions. You have a rising energy bar like in Hearthstone, which allows you to develop the board early with your cheap units before bringing in the big guns. Unused energy becomes half a mana…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Eh, nah. 'Fine' is how I'd describe this game. It's real basic, not many factions to play with not much strategy to them and the maps to play on are dead simple. For the campaign it tries to be a rogue like card game like Slay the Spire but it's not as good, the AI is poor, it's got a few bugs, there's some story missions complete with voice acting but then they stop after easy mode so it seems half finished. I could go on but what irks me most of all is how slow it is. Every attack there's a…
