    Lazy DLC which doesn’t even deserve the hole number of the beast. Beastmen “story” campaign calls for a stronger storytelling: there is not even real conflict between Khazrak the One Eye and Boris Todbringer. They even live on the opposite corners of the map. [Sept 2016]

    This Beastmen faction DLC is a top quality product that can revitalise your TW Warhammer game. The question is, does this deep title need revitalising now or does it need it when there is a winter sale on? Completionists and fans of Warhammer will pay top dollar for this DLC, everyone else will shrug and wait until a bunch of Total Warhammer DLC comes together in a cheaper bundle.

    Call of the Beastmen is not a bad bit of DLC; it’s just an overpriced one. It is nearly a third of the price of the main game, and it contains nowhere near a third of the content. For hard-core fans of the original, this addition is worthwhile for the extra race, but it might be prudent to wait for a sale. Casual fans can ignore the Call altogether.

    While the Beastmen faction itself is a great one, offering new horde mechanics and fast gameplay, the campaign is lackluster and does nothing previous expansions have not already explored - and done much better.

    All in all, despite being waaaay overpriced, Call of the Beastmen is a welcome addition to Total War: Warhammer and provides healthy clues the game has plenty of room to grow and improve more as time goes on.
