    Creative Assembly's art team has outdone itself on Curse of the Vampire Coast, building a visual treat that drips with detail. The campaign is an inventive but uneven experience, with some Legendary Lords more enjoyable than others.

    All in all, Curse of the Vampire Coast is yet another great DLC, worth the admission price to any fans of the factions. It is not as good as Rise of the Tomb Kings, as the lack of ship to ship battles and the boring, constant loop of field and siege battles that Warhammer II constantly devolves to doesn’t really lend itself to a pirate experience, but given what Creative Assembly was working with, Vampire Coast is surprisingly thorough.

    - versatility;
    - beautiful story and lore;
    - the final battle brings back old memories of Dark Omen;
    - different unique buildings, building planning;
    - diplomacy;
    - difficulty (for someone it is a minus).

    Cons.:
    - again as before - the AI cheats and usually throws units where you are the weakest;
    - it is hard to build the economy and have a strong army at the same time;
    - stupid auto-battle AI. Even when my battles had little chance to win, I won when I fought myself;
    - the game becomes boring till the end. Everything is explored and other nations act predictably weird.    … Full Review »

    Dull reskin. Lost my love for CA. Political activism in a historical title took the shine off and now every DLC is just a reskin.

    A nice visual addition to the game. The models and mechanics are an interesting (and needed) addition to the base game.

    Having said this, for £15 you would expect nothing less. Better than a lot of the other DLC's available, it is still by no means a must buy.

    Visually impressive but moderately underpowered compared to most other factions in the game.    … Full Review »
