    No complaints on the technology front. I probably just suck at this game, which is fair, but....The mechanics are **** Their units are SOOOO BAD early I can't bring myself to play past turn 20. The weird ass unit cap mechanic forces stupid army compositions. I understand making mechanics different for each faction lends itself to interesting play styles, but ewwww.

I would much prefer the standard gold upkeep mechanic to be able to field decent armies. I know mid/late game they can probably hold their own, but early nope. It's so bad I want a refund, it's not fun for me at all. Don't let this review stop you, just be warned, if you are anything like me this campaign will leave a bad after taste, one that doesn't inspire future purchases.… Expand

    This was overall a great DLC in my opinion. This works out a lot better than the old way they did the add-ons with the mini-campaigns and only two legendary lords. Instead, now we get four new lords, a new crafting system, and a good roster of units. The lords are all interesting and fulfill a purpose. It's not a perfect DLC even if I love it.

The first thing is that the endings of the lords don't all make sense, I won't spoil it, but some don't fit with the characters. Overall I'd give it a solid 9/10 for a DLC.

    CA surpassed themselves with Rise of the Tomb Kings! !
    The new faction is more fleshed out than most other races in the game. 4 very different legendary lords (personality, starting position, character traits, goals), 1 fully fleshed out army with all the undead and constructs with amazing animations and attention to detail to every unit.

    The new faction is more fleshed out than most other races in the game. 4 very different legendary lords (personality, starting position, character traits, goals), 1 fully fleshed out army with all the undead and constructs with amazing animations and attention to detail to every unit. Really interesting mechanics, completely different tech trees (research of the past with dynasties is really cool), item crafting for your heroes with Mortuary Cult, unique campaign mechanics different from the vortex. New beautifull desert maps and backdrops!
    This, in my opinion, is the best DLC CA has ever released in any total war game and sets a golden standard for future releases. The future of total war warhammer is bright!
    CA if you re reading this please improve the old races (empire, orks, beastmen) they feel subpar in terms of complexity and campaign mechanics.    … Expand

    A successful expansion for a great strategy game brings a very unique and unexplored faction that makes you wanna watch any Mummy movie again. [Issue#283]

    With its own objectives, mechanics, and campaign end-goals, Rise of the Tomb Kings is the best DLC in the whole Total War: Warhammer franchise.

    This is how the new faction should look like! Unusual, impressive, maybe just too strong. The campaign would deserve more care; however, titans, sphinxes and scorpions are an excellent addition.
