    Very meh game. Many total war features were simplified for casuals that are new to the genre and overall the game is much easier. The only good thing it has is the fantasy setting but there isn't much replayability once you have tried each one of the races.

    Brilliant game, it rekindled my intrest in strategy games. Great graphics, sound and music, every race plays completely diffrent, I`m now well over 100 hours played and I`ve done empire, chaos ,beastmen campaigns and now I`m doing dwarves, each one is fresh and diffrent and there is still a lot of campaigns to do.

    My one negative is the lack of a story. They could have turned the whole chaos thing into a grand epic but instead of get a "Baby's First Book". That aside, the gameplay is rather quite enjoyable.

    Date Completed: 2021-03-01
    Playtime: 77h (Failed around turn 90, 2nd time completed the long campaign)
    Enjoyment: 9/10
    Recommendation: I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it.

    Warhammer makes total war definitely more interesting. But heroes abilities and agents, as well as buildings could have been better developed. Overall it seems as total war has barely evolved over the years.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the greatest strategy games ever.
    A good combination between turn-based strategy with RTS.

    Real time battle with hundreds or thousands soldiers, huge monsters, air force, powerful magics, legendary warriors, hundreds projectiles in the air and much more.
    9 races - which the game-play for each differs widely.

    In campaign every race have different mechanisms that have big effect on the gameplay.
    Also there are different mechanisms between the campaigns that have big effect the gameplay.

    Disadvantages:

    It is not as good as other TW games. It isn't quite a WH game. It is fun for a while, but if I want to play TW, I play Shogun or Medieval TW. If I want WH, I play Dawn of War. So I have struggled to find this satisfies me on either count. Still, it is fun.

It makes me want to control troops by myself and now I rarely auto-resolve. I also spent more time with this game as each race has its own unique units and play-style. However, building, trades and politics do not lived up to the level of the historical ones. In addition, I wish that CA would give options for people to adjust complexity/difficulty of battle, diplomacy and economy. To sum up, I strongly recommended this game for those who enjoy fantasy and planing, but maybe get it on a discount as it has quite many dlcs.… Expand

The world itself and the graphics looked really good, so did the new hero and general system, which added a nice rpg part. The game itself got best, when all of its DLC´s had been released and all updates had been made, since the game lacked content. But overall, after buying all DLC´s to get the real Warhammer feeling, i already spent more than 100€, which is actually too much. The fact that CA already implemented new factions in the campaign despite you havent bought the certain DLC, made me pretty angry (18€ for one single faction, seriously, this is too much).
    While being within the battle, the KI sucked even more than in the previous total war games. The only thing that made the KI tougher on higher difficulty were cheats on the campaign map, but sadly not in the battle. Even legendary difficulty was a joke... .So i won battles were i was underpowered 1 to 5 easily thanks to crappy KI. This brought me to installing mods, but still i can´t judge this game with content created by other people than CA. But sadly even on the campaign map, when you wanted allies to attack something, sometimes it tooks at least 10 turns for them to actually show up, neither did i recieve help when i had a city under siege. And i shouldnt even start talking about establishing trading relationships...
    So after the last DLC was released and everything has been updated, the game was enjoyable, but still hasn´t used it´s full potential.    … Expand

I didn't pre-order and I got the Chaos DLC for free on the first week. This is a great example of companies listening to their fan-base as I wanted to see how the game turned out before purchasing.

    Buen juego, pero con muy poco contenido de base, más de la mitad va a través de DLC, algo inadmisible al costar casi 60€ de salida y que acaba arruinando la experiencia del juego al verlo tan corto y que cobran por casi todo (incluso por la tontería de hacerlo más gore).

It is far the time of Medieval 2 or Shogun 2 where the building of a base was some kind more open, with a lot of chances to be done. The graphics should be better. Yes, the battles are quite awesome, but nothing that we haven't seen on RTW2 or Attila. The map looks nice, and it's close to what the world of Warhammer is.

    By the way, one very negative aspect is that Total War franchises had become pure DLC games. If you want to experience the game fully, you need to spend a very big quantity of $ on the DLC content. Yes, it adds new races, with their own units, but this is something old Total War games used to bring on the base game. DLC contents should be intended for expansions like Napoleon Total War or the Kingdoms expansion from Medieval 2.    … Expand

    Esta primera afirmación se que puede generar un poco de polémica, sobre todo viendo la cantidad de votos negativos que contiene esta entrega a comparación de los anteriores, pero es por el mero echo de que actualmente las personas se esta dando cuenta del timo de los DLCs, cosa que yo no valorare en este análisis por un simple motivo. ¿No os gusta? no lo compréis, veréis como, si todos hiciéramos eso mismo, al final o los pondrían más baratos o añadirían algunos de estos de modo gratuito (una cruzada que lleva mucho tiempo activa, pero que poca gente utiliza). Dicho esto, paso a valorar el juego.

    Esta valoración esta solo enfocada al modo campaña, no toco el multijugador.

    La historia y los acontecimientos en el juego son interesantes y bastante variados, dejando interés a lo largo de toda la partida por mucho que la mayoría de facciones ya no os planten cara. Orcos salvajes, tribus, Caos... sin duda son variados y dan guerra. Añadir que no tengo mucho conocimiento del Universo Warhammer (lo poco que conozco es por los juegos relacionados que he jugado, y por pequeñas cosas que he leido), asi que no puedo valorar este apartado desde un punto de vista rolero, solo jugabilitico.

    Las facciones por fin son mínimamente variadas entre ellas, ya no en aspecto solo, si no en forma de juego. Por ejemplo, el amor por la guerra y la sed de sangre Orca se traslada muy bien al juego. Una de las cosas en este tema de las que más he oído discutir es el sistema de conquista, ya que las distintas facciones no pueden conquistar todo el mapa por sus afinidades con el entorno y demás. Mucha gente lo odia y a un pequeño grupo le gusta, yo soy de los segundos por que me encanta la estrategia que otorga esto, ya que al no poder conquistar todo, tienes que pensar por que zonas puedes moverse de una manera más correcta para poder ganar una guerra con un enemigo que este lejos.

    En cuanto a gráficos ya sabéis que esta saga siempre ha destacado. Animaciones, mapa, variedad en las animaciones...

With Total War: Warhammer, the engine's teething issues feel as though they have finally been resolved.

    The combat works in a similar way to how it did in Rome, albeit with more satisfying cavalry charges and better animations. It feels a bit strange to be applauding a game for feeling like a game from 2004, but the teething problems have taken a long time to resolve.

    However, despite the actual simulation of melee combat taking a huge step in the right direction, I cannot in good faith recommend Total War: Warhammer to any veteran of the series, for a number of reasons.

    The campaign has taken a step back from all previous titles. The map feels small, and the joy of expanding out, conquering varied factions and culturally assimilating them into your new borders just doesn't exist here. For a start, you can only conquer regions that belong to your faction's designated nemesis: This will mean that you will either be ruining an extant civilisation or reclaiming what was yours anyway.

    This design philosophy also seriously restricts the replay value of the campaign. Previous Total War games allowed you to go into a campaign and adapt to whatever scenario you decide. Even in Attila as Western Rome (which on the surface feels very set in stone), you have a huge range of possibilities: You can attempt to hold onto your thinly spread territories with military might; you can cede territories to the raging hordes whilst redesigning your inefficient and corrupt empire into a wealthy, centralised Italian kingdom with the intent to reconquer once you're in good stead; you can disregard your poor holdings in the north, betray your Eastern Roman brothers and create a powerful Mediterranean empire, or you could just attempt to create a huge range of vassals and client states with your struggling empire at the helm.

    With Warhammer, none of these options are afforded to the player. As the Empire, you will always start in-fighting with your elector neighbours (and face hundreds of strategically uninteresting battles where you just fight the same units you field). As your empire begins to take shape, you will turn your attentions to the Vampire Counts (who need to be destroyed as a win condition), before ultimately consolidating your empire, allying with the Dwarves and defeating Chaos. The first time you do this, it feels amazing, but every successive playthrough is exactly the same. There will never be a need to fight the Greenskins or Dwarves as the Empire as their settlements cannot be captured.

    Another issue is that each faction has very specific mechanics to consider: whilst this sounds good on paper, it makes playing them far less interesting. The mechanics of offices, family trees, religious conversion, trade and diplomacy have been split up and assigned out to different factions.

    The battles also lack many of the more in-depth tactical elements that previous Total War games had. You can no longer pick from a range of arrow types (unless you're Wood Elves), you don't have access to special formations (such as wedge and spear wall), and your options for unit spacing and preset formations are severely limited. Every faction only has two formation types: archers first and melee first. This doesn't work very well given that two of the playable factions don't even have access to archers, so your only options are to deploy in a straight line. It also makes all units feel very basic, put there to fulfil a single role like the units in Command & Conquer games. Your spears are for monstrous units, your swords are anti-infantry, your guns are anti-armour etc. It seriously limits your strategic options and forces you to just hope you've taken the right army for the job instead of working with what resources you have.

    Graphically, the game has significantly less fine-detail than previous titles. Guns and artillery pieces no longer have reloading animations, model variance is much smaller than even Medieval II, and all cavalry have the same coloured mounts. This makes playing as chaotic forces such as the Greenskins very jarring, as they look far too ordered.

    This review feels like it is being negative, but I will close by saying that Creative Assembly have succeded in creating a game that captures the Warhammer universe: I just believe that the sacrifices made to pull off this vision have created a game that feels much less detailed, vibrant or interesting that any previous title.    … Expand

    The game is good it works great and the game play is smooth everything is how it should be. However the worthless DLC is a point against the game. Locking off factions and troop types. Keeping out the major races like the Elves and Bretonia seems like another penny pinching scam in that regard but by no means a bad game.

Norska? Please provide us something DIFFERENT next time if you see what I mean… Skavens? Elves? THANK YOU.

    Anyway… The game, on paper, is great. Warhammer and Total war is (was?) the beloved dream of many geeks of my generation. The fact of having a scenarized game with the final Chaos Incursion is pretty cool. It provides consistency in a game where there is a rich lore. The regional occupancy Mod allows getting of regional occupation limitations (it would have been cleverer from CA to provide it official)

    It really is an immersive game. It’s a long time I haven’t been that much immerged in a game. Playing the Orcs and expanding from the Badlands to the snowy Northen Karaks of Dwarves was a cool experience on my first playthrough. Playing the Empire and expanding to the North and East to face as a protagonist the first Chaos Invasions was super cool. You can expect to have extremely Epic battles, 3vs3 to Death battles ringing the end of mankind! The graphics are great. The Lore is (except some “meh” things here and there) is superbly rendered. The epicness is really there. But…

    Then comes the late game (the first 100 turns are great, then it’s over…)

    In fact there is a core problem with this game. There is something wrong. There are actually 2 things that ruin the game.

    The first thing wrong is the way the Chaos Invasion is handled. Mixing Chaos and Northern Tribes invasion is pretty cool but Skaelings are the pain of my existence. Those Norsemen have literally free spawns. Irrelevantly from their holdings they can insta-spawn full army stacks and endlessly attack you over and over and over and over.

    I order to get rid of them, don’t expect to mobilize less than 2-3 full stack armies (representing probably 100% of your force…) in order to destroy them. In other words: IMPOSSIBLE to do when at the same time you need to deal with Chaos Invasions and spreading corruption causing your regions to revolt and full advanced troop Rebel stacks needing at least a full army stack of yours…

    This really is a problem: Skaelings are too powerful and it literally ruins the experience.

    Second problem: stupid A.I. When you mean Stupid A.I. you mean cheating A.I. When you mean cheating A.I. you mean: complete immersion destruction.

    I don’t care the A.I. being able to summon 2-3x more troops than I do. I care about having to constantly play “Chaos Whack-A-Mole” and “Skaeling Whack-A-Mole” because cheating A.I. goes faster than you do despite all your buffs and exactly exactly where you’ll land and knows how to avoid fight.

    I care about suffering all attritions and A.I. not suffering them.

    I care being overwhelmed by swarms of Agents corrupting my regions having like 90% chance of killing my agents while I have, on paper, 30% chance if killing them but in reality it more looks like being 1% chance of killing them.

    No… NO C.A. If you can’t make A.I. clever enough don’t make it cheat in any other way than spawning TROOPS FOR BATTLE!

    So now, mix problem 1 with problem 2: result is pretty simple: expect having s**tloads of small roaming armies running through your lands down to the least defended city (since A.I. doesn’t have fog of war he knows where to go), razing it and making your full stacks busy chasing them on a F***ING CONSTANT BASIS since Skaelings will stalk you all the F***ING TIME… Jesus… What a horrible choice from C.A….

    You want to make Chaos Invasion difficult: Make Skaelings a SMALL faction and make Chaos bigger. In my playthrough it’s easier for me to defeat chaos than Skaelings… It makes no sense… That literally ruins the immersion.

    On the top of that. Add other regressions:
    - River battles are not present anymore
    - Sieges are AWFUL. Either one or two side walls. No Squared cities. Thank you. Strategy please?
    - Fixed Story: Since the “story” is here and Chaos steps in very quickly, what will happen will always be the same. Don’t expect to play more than 2 or 3 times and experience every time a different playthrough. Source of lack of replayability.
    - Lack of playable factions. Second source of lack of replayability
    - Beastmen DLC: mix of orcs and chaos: doesn’t add much replayability
    I would like to much this game to be good. But for the moment it’s a hate and love feeling I have toward it. And so few would be needed;
    - Nerf Skaeling and make chaos stronger
    - Stop making cheating A.I. (no attrition, different RNG results, A.I. being always quicker than you despite all your movement buffs). If A.I. is not clever enough, simply make it spawn more troops. It’s a much better decision.

I have never had any experience with any Warhamme games before, so I was mesmorized when I entered my first battle, but that was soon to fade.

    It is not that battles are bad or poorly made, they are just all the same, and it becomes very tedious in the long run. The enemy very rarely engages you, they just stand there and wait for you to engage. And sieges are all exactly alike, which after 100 hours of gameplay makes you auto resolve more or less every battle there is.

    Diplomacy is a joke - an utter joke. Vey little effort were put into this by the devs. You can play the game without ever really engaging in diplomacy, but just pressing "ok" and move on. It is not really that important for succes of your progress, sure it will make things a bit easier, but not much. What really makes my blood boil, is "Join War" option. If you you allies, or ask them to participate in a war against a certain faction, they never show up or help you defeating the enemy faction. The "Join war" option is random at best, and more or less useless. The overall feel of this game becomes "lather-rinse-repeat".

    But, the one thing I loathe, the thing I absolutely hate and makes me scream at this effing game and ragequit is the "Heroes", and their lack of succes. Now, math has never been my strong side, as go the same for the devs. How so? Let me explain. If a hero has, for instance, 59% chance of succeding in a certain action, how come it takes up to 15 attempts for that action to succed?! If succesrate is 50% or more, it should according to my calculation take a maximum of 2 attempts, for an action to be succesful. Nothing is more frustrating than watching a single enemy hero massacre an entire army, while you can do nothing to prevent this. There is no point in having heroes, except bolstering your army with perks.

    Despite all of this, my real beef with this game is the DLC´s. This game has become a symbol of GIG (Gaming Industry Greed). The game itself is 60 euros, and at the current moment the total price of DLC´s are 34 euros, so total price of game pushing almost a total of 100 euros. This is insane. All the DLC should already be in the game at the price of 60 euros. Now, the DLC´s look good and fun, but if I buy this, I would support GIG hence signalling that in the future they can pick apart games and sell them off at ridiculous and unaffordable prices. I simply cannot and will not support this action

    So, my advice is do not buy this game in its current state. Put it on your wishlist, and buy it on sale in about a year or so.

    I was hesitant to purchase Total War: Warhammer. Rome II was such a disappointment when it released that it soured my love for the series to the point I never bothered with Attila. I played every Total War game prior as far back as Medieval Total War. I even picked up Total War Eras. Sure Empire and Napoleon had their problems. But even they paled in comparison to the mess that Rome III was hesitant to purchase Total War: Warhammer. Rome II was such a disappointment when it released that it soured my love for the series to the point I never bothered with Attila. I played every Total War game prior as far back as Medieval Total War. I even picked up Total War Eras. Sure Empire and Napoleon had their problems. But even they paled in comparison to the mess that Rome II released as.

    My concern with this Warhammer iteration was whether CA had learned from their mistakes and could deliver a game that worked upon release. I am pleased to say that Total War: Warhammer is a solid effort. Its well optimized and runs well even on my modest i5 with 8gb of Ram and a GTX 750ti with 2gb of Vram. Surprisingly the GPU requirements for the game seem rather low. My 750ti falls just short of the recommended GTX 760. File size is also odd considering the minimum and recommend specs call for 35gb of HD space yet the download from Steam was only 9gb. The game had a few delays and perhaps they were for the best given how polished the end product is. The game is richly detailed on the unit models themselves right down to the UI. The UI is also highly customizable allowing you turn off unit markers.

    It needs to be said that I know very little if anything about the Warhammer universe. However I love high fantasy, magic and fantastical creatures. Its this new spin on the Total War formula that spoke to me. Yes you can jump into this game without any prior knowledge and have a good time. The intro cinematic gives you a quick rundown of the four factions Empire (Humans), Dwarves, Greenskins (Orcs), Vampire Counts and a fifth the Chaos faction as dlc (more on this later). The core of the game is still very much a Total War game and will immediately feel familiar to series veterans. You still build buildings and units, manage taxes, etc. However there is a noticeable lack of troop formations like wedge, etc. The developers have said they used them where applicable as many of them aren't part of the Warhammer IP.

    You still have your infantry, ranged, and mounted units as well as siege units like steam tanks. In my time with the game it appears as though there are no naval battles like in previous games. The game does however feature aerial units like gyrocopter and gyrobombers which add another layer of tactical strategy to the equation. (This makes me dream of a Warcraft Total War someday). You also have giants and trolls as well. Among other new touches are subterranean battles where you can fight. There are tunnels that give you shortcuts but can present ambushes. One of the cool new features is a tactical map. You can move the scroll wheel to pull the camera back to an overhead view and get a general look of the battlefield at a glance.

    The AI is something CA has been trying to get right for a while. It was an absolute mess in Rome II at launch. Its certainly a good deal better here. Enemies will flee only to reform and try to flank you. Reinforcements may appear behind your position. I have also noticed less 'clumping'. That isn't to say there still aren't issues. I have had instances where I give a unit an order and it seems to just remain in the same place. Fortunately these instances have been infrequent.

    The biggest issue I have with the Total War license and indeed SEGA is the 'whoring' of faction DLC. SEGA already does this with Relic's Company of Heroes. Its no secret that the announcement of Chaos as a preorder bonus rubbed fans the wrong way. This prompted CA to change the preorder bonus to being available for the first week the game was on sale. This was a step in the right direction but I feel its a band-aid on a bigger problem. When you announce DLC 6 months ahead of release that will be available day one? It should be in the base game. Its not like this game has a ton of playable factions anyway with just 4 available (not counting Chaos).

    In game content shouldn't be locked behind a pre-order paywall under the guise of a 'bonus'. Certainly not on day one when most games have embargoes leaving many consumers with few reviews of said game. If your game is good you shouldn't have to worry about embargoes or giving fans 'incentive' to buy it. It wouldn't surprise me if they charge $5 for 'blood' like they did for Rome II. On a positive note they have said that the game will be supported with free DLC including Lord, Race, and Campaign packs. Hopefully we see other races like the elves get their own campaigns.

    In the end if you are a fan of high fantasy or Warhammer I think there is a lot here to like about Total War: Warhammer even if it may have a learning curve. Conversely if you are a Total War fan; the change to a fantasy setting may prove to be an engaging unique experience.    … Expand

    Serinin müptelası bir total war fanı olarak şunu belirtmek gerekir ki, evet seri ivme kaybetmiş olabilir ama bu demek değildir ki en son çıkan tüm total war oyunları çöplük olsun bu kesinlikle kabul edilemez.Özellikle oyunu europa universalis ile mukayese etmek son derece yanlış.İkiside aynı kategoride olabilir ancak total war adı üstünde savaş meydanına odaklanmış bir oyun dolayısıyla diğer strateji unsurları ikinci plana bırakıyor.Ayrıca diploması zayıf diye yapılan eleştiride doğru değil.Makul seviyede diploması oyuna eklenmiş ticaret anlaşması müttefik olma savaş ilan etme vs.daha fazlasını beklemek oyunu farklı bir evreye sokar ki buda savaşa daha çok odaklanmış bir oyunun yapısını bozar.

    Gelgelelim dövüş sahnelerine birimlerin dizilişlerine.Şimdi biraz düşünün her bir birim için ayrı ayrı dövüş animasyonu yapmaya kalksalar bunu kaldıracak bir gpu zaten mevcut değil.O açıdan optimizasyonuda düşünerek toplu halde hareket eden grupların nasıl kılıç kalkan sallayacağını siz bir düşünün oyundaki bu tür animasyonlarda yapımcılar gayet iyi iş çıkarmış.Hadi bunu geçelim gerçek hayatta 100 kişi karşılıklı
    insanı bir araya getirip sopa ve tavalarla birbirlerine doğru saldırtın işte o zaman yapımcılara hak verirsiniz.Rome ve attilada barbar kabilelerin tam disiplin halinde olması diğer ordulara karşı dengeli olması içindir.Hayal edin bir roma lejyonu karşısında dağınık halde duran barbar kabilelerin hiç şansı olmaz yapımcılar burda biraz gerçekçilikten ziyade dengeli olması bakımından çabuk ezilip gitmemeleri için böyle düşünmüşlerdir.Yani savaş esnasında her taraf eşit ve dengeli olsun diye uzun lafın kısası budur.Her askeri farklı tipte yapmaya kalksalar bilgisayar bunu kaldırmaz.Öyle yaptılar diyelim canavar gibi sistem isteyen optimizasyon özürlü bir oyun olur çıkar.Dövüş animasyonları ise tatmin edici seviyededir kaldıkı yüksek savaş tecrübesi ve iyi zırhı olan birimlerin çabucak ölmesi zaten mantıksız olur

    Yazının başında söylediğim gibi sırf çaptan düştü diye bir oyuna 0 vermek adil değildir.Elbette eksikleri olan mükkembel bir oyun değil.Kaldıki en iyi total war oyunu hiç değil.amma velakin iyi yanları mevcut ve farklı bir evreni yansıtıyor.7/10 diyorum ve yazıyı noktalıyorum.    … Expand

    The Total War series and the Warhammer series is a marriage 33 years in the making.

    Starting in 1983, Games Workshop began to publish its enormously popular tabletop game Warhammer. Taking a page from classic strategy games such as those from Avalon Hill and putting it in a fantasy setting seemed ideal for players. Strategy gamers have dreamt of the ultimate electronic version of those tabletop settings they have played their entire lives. The Total War series, beginning with Shogun: Total War in 2000, has achieved that for them better than any other. Total War gives players the ability to have sophisticated strategy play without taking up an entire table (or in some cases the entire basement) to satisfy their needs.

    Fast forward to today and we get to see the collaboration of both of these monster titles. Total War: Warhammer, created by Creative Assembly and published by Sega, is the most sophisticated and intricate strategy game ever to invade a PC, utilizing and upgrading the game play from Total War: Atilla while incorporating five of the factions from Warhammer: The Warriors of Chaos, Dwarfs, The Empire, Greenskins, and The Vampire Counts. Each faction is flush with abilities specific to themselves. This gives Total War: Warhammer some fresh new strategies that had become a little stale in the Total War universe. The fantasy aspects are a departure from Total War’s usual historical approach but I feel that long-time fans will forgive this when they begin to play the game.

    An Example of the organization of troops
    Total War: Warhammer is not a game that you just pick up and play. Warhammer is a rich universe and the Total War system takes time to learn. What you get for your labor is a game experience that makes you feel that you have mastered all aspects of global leadership and not just battle. Diplomacy and civic management are just as important as knocking down walls or casting spells. The size and richness of your army, generals, and heroes also comes from a very deep skill tree. The game does provide an ongoing adviser to assist you through most of this and Creative Assembly has built a wonderful help system with in-depth video tutorials as well to guide all of the newcomers who may be intimidated by the complexities of the game.    … Expand

    I do not know what this is. This is not Warhammer, this is not Total War. It is some sort of weird unfun ameglam of both. I was seeing massive hordes of chaos. Endless waves of orks. Elite human and griffon armies. The War Machines of the dwarves, and the stealth units of the elves. What I got was a few little small units and token set piece battles with uninspired and samey forces on either side.

    If you've played Shogun 2 though... bit of a different story. See, this game is not "bad", and is actually comfortably ahead of the more recent Rome 2 and Attila Total War games, but the problem is the rampant streamlining of the game at the expense of immersion and challenge.

    In fact, it's so stripped down that at times you feel each individual battle is a tech demo of what could be, rather than a finished product. I feel incredibly harsh saying that, as so many things are done right here and the level of detail involved is stunning, but all of that is tainted by the game alternating between too easy and too obvious. Would it have hurt to put a bit more focus on the "behind the scenes" elements of getting your armies together and so on? How about making the battles feel like the epic blood and thunder encounters the Warhammer universe is famed for? Why are all the battles incredibly short? Why is every single siege in the game the same thing over and over again?

    It's like they had the basics there, and forgot to build on them. Can I still recommend this game? Yes, I really can. In fact, I know this review is going to look unduly harsh, but it's because I've played Total War games in the past that are simply hands down better than this one, even though if taken in isolation this is a good strategy game in its' own right.

    As a fan of both strategy and Warhammer, this is both a decent game and a massive disappointment at the same time.    … Expand

I was waiting for this game for a long time as I could see from the first Shogun how much the Total War is influenced by the Warhammer's mechanics so I always thought it wouldn't be that difficult to implement it. I understand there were various licensing issues, but actually both franchises should benefit from that fusion. Finally they did it, released it and... I have a very mixed feelings. Actually this game completely changed my approach to Total War. Up until this point I always played single player campaigns. They were easy enough even on the hardest diff level, but you felt quite nice about changing the history of the world with some unimportant faction. In this title the Single Player Campaign is slightly flat with factions you can't conquer, dumbed down cities management which worked pretty well in Rome, but somehow it is not the case in here - maybe due to the limited number of units available. There are some tasty features - like when you are playing with vampires you can summon high level units in places of big famous battles or nice different stances for your units depending on your race. I wouldn't count lack of naval battles as negative - they are just not that important part of warhammer world. So all in all - it is not bad Single Player Campaign but not great either and I would prefer playing Rome or Empire. As to multiplayer battles - they were usually too similar from one title to another (with exception of Empire and Napoleon for obvious reasons), hence I didn't play them often. And when I did it was usually pretty boring and repetitive. This Total War seems to be made for multiplayer battles though. I just can't get enough of them. The mix of all Total Wars with addition of magic, heroes and monsters is playable as hell. It brings the memory of Dark Omen played through the serial ports link but on much bigger scale. I've seen some comments about battles being too short - of course, for a Warhammer player they would be, but if had 4 hours spare I would take my figurines out of their boxes and play for real. In Total War Warhammer I fought battles for half an hour and this seemed quite long as the intensity of it was there all the time. So if you have friends which you can't play real Warhammer due to the distance, lack of time or price of figurines then this game is for you. If you want a campaign like in older Total Wars then you can buy it, but don't expect too much.… Expand

I have 7-8 cities at that point and as much army as I can upkeep, I play the battles manually and according to community guides (dwarves = have lots of ranged, never move, make formation with melee at front, ranged behind and cannons further behind, and keep some more melee on the sides and behind to intercept enemies that are trying to flank you, wait for them to come to you), and it doesn't matter, I still get slaughtered because orcs arrive with 4-5 lords with maxed armies, all moving together. They also move way faster on the campaign map than me, and the AI always moves them just out of your range when it's not ready to fight you, so it's impossible to catch them out of position. So there's nothing you can do apart from just wait to get slaughtered while the enemy heroes assassinate everyone you own with what appears to be a 90% success rate (while my own heroes have 25% and always fail and critical-fail). I have to admit that I don't understand this game and what I'm doing wrong. I've almost given up on it, and my score will reflect that.

    There are few factions yes, but those five factions you have are diverse and asymmetrical like in no other total war game until now, which makes for a really new and refreshing experience while at the same time making this the first total war that needs almost no balancing at launch; once you've got the hang of it nothing feels really out of place or overpowered. Changing unit sizes in the settings can change the balance too but that's no news either for total war and makes perfectly sense giving an additional level of customization; if you don't enjoy too much monsters and magic dominating the battlefield just play with large or ultra unit sizes.
    Blood and gore, and more factions are undoubtedly going to come out as DLCs too.    … Expand

    But how is the actual game you might ask? Well, it's the best TW game released in a long time and maybe ever. The AI is without question the best ever seen in a TW game and it actually feels like the AI factions are trying to win the game. Both on the campaign map and in battles. Normal difficulty is already more difficult than "hard" was in previous games because it's not so easy anymore to cheese the AI. Stupid stuff like running around your settlements with a single cavalry unit while the defensive towers slowly but steadily take out a whole enemy army does no longer work. The AI reacts to what you do and tries to flank whenever possible.

    Even diplomacy works. It's still not very deep but at least what is there works this time and factions act in ways that makes sense which is a MAJOR improvement over previous TW games.

    I also really like how diverse the factions are. There might not be that many, but the difference in play style, both in battles and on the campaign map, between the different factions are HUGE! There are the Dwarfs that center around defensive turtle tactics. Or the Chaos campaign that feels almost like an RPG since you do not build any settlements and only move your heroes with their armies across the map. All the playable factions are very well done and how diverse they are is one of the biggest strengths of TW Warhammer in my opinion.

    The only issues I had with the game so far are a few balancing issues which are to be expected considering how diverse the factions are this time around and which will likely get fixed in future patches. For example most ranged infantry (archer and the like) are too weak in my opinion and never seem to be doing enough damage to justify having them take up an army slot. Also Dwarven infantry might be a little bit too strong. And there are quiet a few spells that seem to be mostly useless.

    One thing I was surprised by was how much better the campaign was as well. City upgrading is straightforward and intuitive, as well as more varied between factions. Technology also seems to provide more important bonuses than previous entries. The best part of the strategic campaign is that Creative Assembly seems to really have designed it around getting you into the battles, which are the strongest part of this game. The only thing working against this is how difficult it can be to catch enemy armies and force them into battle, but throughout my campaigns I never found a shortage of epic battles to fight. Quest battles also work better than I expected and provide narrative to the title. The chaos invasion also provides more narrative, and is somewhat similar to the Huns in Total War: Attila.

    The battles themselves are without a doubt my favorite in a Total War. Each race plays so different, and each unit has its own place. There isn’t the problem previous titles have had where there are a ton of the same unit with minor stat changes to give more “unit variety.” Every unit feels like it has its own place. The addition of monsters, flying units, hero units, and magic all really adds a lot to the battles without being overwhelming.

    The unlock trees for agents/heroes is also much better than previous entries, and it seems like Creative Assembly went all out and wasn’t afraid to make these units powerful. Being able to unlock a flying mount for your hero really changes the way they interact with the battlefield as well, and you no longer have to keep your general back for most of the battle. Agents are still annoying on the campaign map, mainly due to the AI spamming them and the difficulty of countering enemy agents.

    Overall this Total War game has been very solid for my first 40+ hours of playing, and I expect to rack up many more to come. Definitely give this a look if you’re a fan of strategy games. And for what it’s worth, this is the smoothest release for an ambitious Total War yet, so congrats CA.    … Expand

    The Bad
    - sieges have been ridiculously simplified to "Improve the A.I." but the A.I. is still thick as a brick so this was pointless and ruined a big part of the game IMHO
    - only 6 army rosters in the whole game which is disappointing for total war fans (1-2 unique units for some of the non-playable factions would have gone a long way)
    - agents can get frustrating
    - magic is messed up (doesn't scale with unit size)
    - general lack of content (will be better later with DLC /MODS)
    - disconnect between WFB units and TW units as a lot of units either don't exist (especially unit variants with different gear) or don't work as a warhammer player would expect (black orcs, ethereal units...)

    the game feels like early access
    not enough content and a bunch of little things that annoy you

The battles are huge, the map is identical to the fantasy universe most players know and love. Pit in the 5 factions and you got yourself one, epic game. There are however some issues which need to be adressed:

    Gameplay:
    The gameplay in general is smooth and entertaining. The core mechanics revolve around tailoring your army to your opponent and having the right dudes fight the right bad guys. Flank your opponent and when a unit you don't like gets too close, bring it down in a hail of bolts and bullets. Sadistics like myself will find endless entertainment in seeing broken enemies get run down by ones sinister forces.
    However the gameplay have some issues:

    1. Lord Characters.

    Being the embodiment of the player on the battlefield, it is not surprising that these guys are true powerhouses. Maybe even on the tip of being too powerful. Seeing as individual models in the game do almost no damage, and characters having a minimal amount of space around them, it is not uncommon that you can have 10 units hitting a fleeing lord and it still takes like 30 seconds before they kill him. While the Lords aren't exactly overpowered, I think units should have more of a chance against them. They aren't even human right now.
    2. Running and walking.

    Seriously this is a mess. Clicking AND ATTACKING makes your units walk. Meaning if I want my units to actually charge an opponent (and get a bonus) I need to press R.

    3. Fog of War.

    Want to attack that ranged unit in the forest over there? Okay, point and click, press R to run.
    However if that unit stops shooting for a second and goes invisible again? Well, then you have to manually re-assign your unit go kill them or just walk/run into the forest. More an annoyance because of the lack of an attack move button which usually exist within the RTS-genre.

    4. Missions and Quests.

    The quest system in TW:W is fantastic, giving you quests based on your current situation during the campaign, giving you these small objectives every now and then. The missions however, to get some of your Special Character's gear? I went through the entire Empire normal campaign without ever touching it (which was stupid of me since those were easy). The Vampire Counts however, need to travel across half the map to a region they have no interest in and win a battle there. Whether that is historically correct or not is irrelevant. That is just annoying to have to do...

    Graphics:

    Gorgeous. Playing it on low graphics is a nightmare (which I had to with my Radeon 6930), almost pixelated, but it runs excellently on my new GTX 960. Very nice.

    Setting:

    The setting in general is glorious as I mentioned in the intro. My only complaint are the Vampires who are absolute jokes. I don't know why, but Creative Assembly has for some reason made them all talk like they were part of a horrible Shakespearean play. They even make references to stupid parodies of his plays. "You wouldn't want to make the same mistake as McDeath". Come on. Way to butcher the characters of an entire race. YOU EVEN HAVE A QUOTE IN-GAME WHERE MANNFRED SPEAKS NORMALLY! God dammit CA.

    Other than that, it is really, really good. The distrustful elector counts, the arrogant nobles of Bretonnia, the destructive forces of Chaos and Orks and the stubborn and grudge-holding Dwarves. Everything feels incredible.

    In terms of blood and gore, I tend to agree with the public opinion that it is missing. Also, most models have some sort of invulnerability save. Hitting them with direct hits from bloody mortars sends half the dudes flying and yet doesn't kill a single one. Not a single time occurence. You'll see.

    And yet, I am hopeful.

    The game has quite a lot of glitches but none which are gamebreaking. The fundamentals are definetely there, but with some patch-polishing I believe this game could truly shine the way it should.

    Overall the score is 8. The game is lacking alot of things but also have lots of positive sides which are plain for most people to see. The game is entertaining and fun in that sadistic and maniacal way which I tend to enjoy, and I think alot of people would support that statement.

    While many give the game bad reviews, my gut-feeling tells me they are basing it too much off the earlier Total War games, which I have never played and never intend to play.

    In newer releases I would like to see:
    - Attack move Button
    - More non-magic and non-hero ways to kill heroes
    - Blood and Gore
    - Attacking makes the player's units run
    - More Races (Skaven are obvious, Wood Elves/High Elves would be pretty good too)

    And of course.
    NEW VOICES FOR THE VAMPIRE COUNTS! (And you can help by donating on www.makethevoncarsteinsgreatagain.com. That was a lie. rip Von Carsteins.) All in all a nice game, easily on par with other newer releases from most other firms.    … Expand

Your Lords/generals are heroes in their own right and unlike the previous games you don't have to worry about time taking them away, so you can level them up to your heart's content in a gloriously fleshed out fashion.

    In short, it scratches all of your itches: It's a deep strategy game with management of resources and buildings. It's got tactics as you plan and command troops. It's got glorious visuals and sound as your armies clash with impact, explosions, and magic effects. It has a detailed RPG mechanic for your heroes as they gain power.

    Cons:
    -Province management is not too exciting, call me stupid, but i liked it in previous titles, it was challenging, and had a lot of options. Squalor, food, upgrades for weapon/armor/horses are removed, only thing that remains is public order, and it is boring to build up every province the exact same way.
    -Vanilla combat is super fast, and unbalanced in my opinion.
    -Sieges are strange with the small battle map, and 1 direction of attack, also the AI cant handle them well, neither attacking nor defending.
    -Chaos DLC... But it was handled better in the end.
    -5 faction.
    -I have not seen any executions in battles. (Hope the blood DLC will bring some)

    Pros:
    -Vampiric and Chaos corruption changes the map quite nicely.
    -Good progression for Heroes and lords, good quest battles for legendary lords
    -There my be few factions, but they are really different from each other, differnt roster, buildings, visuals, heroes, different mechanics (Raise the dead, Book of Grudges etc..)
    -Mods. With mods you can pretty much modify the game to your liking.
    -They made an excellent base game this time.

    It is different than previous games, and it is refreshing. If they won't abandon historical episodes entirely in favour of this i will be happy.

    I was hesitant to purchase Total War: Warhammer. Rome II was such a disappointment when it released that it soured my love for the series to the point I never bothered with Attila. I played every Total War game prior as far back as Medieval Total War. I even picked up Total War Eras. Sure Empire and Napoleon had their problems. But even they paled in comparison to the mess that Rome III was hesitant to purchase Total War: Warhammer. Rome II was such a disappointment when it released that it soured my love for the series to the point I never bothered with Attila. I played every Total War game prior as far back as Medieval Total War. I even picked up Total War Eras. Sure Empire and Napoleon had their problems. But even they paled in comparison to the mess that Rome II released as.

    My concern with this Warhammer iteration was whether CA had learned from their mistakes and could deliver a game that worked upon release. I am pleased to say that Total War: Warhammer is a solid effort. Its well optimized and runs well even on my modest i5 with 8gb of Ram and a GTX 750ti with 2gb of Vram. Surprisingly the GPU requirements for the game seem rather low. My 750ti falls just short of the recommended GTX 760. File size is also odd considering the minimum and recommend specs call for 35gb of HD space yet the download from Steam was only 9gb. The game had a few delays and perhaps they were for the best given how polished the end product is. The game is richly detailed on the unit models themselves right down to the UI. The UI is also highly customizable allowing you turn off unit markers.

    It needs to be said that I know very little if anything about the Warhammer universe. However I love high fantasy, magic and fantastical creatures. Its this new spin on the Total War formula that spoke to me. Yes you can jump into this game without any prior knowledge and have a good time. The intro cinematic gives you a quick rundown of the four factions Empire (Humans), Dwarves, Greenskins (Orcs), Vampire Counts and a fifth the Chaos faction as dlc (more on this later). The core of the game is still very much a Total War game and will immediately feel familiar to series veterans. You still build buildings and units, manage taxes, etc. However there is a noticeable lack of troop formations like wedge, etc. The developers have said they used them where applicable as many of them aren't part of the Warhammer IP.

    You still have your infantry, ranged, and mounted units as well as siege units like steam tanks. In my time with the game it appears as though there are no naval battles like in previous games. The game does however feature aerial units like gyrocopter and gyrobombers which add another layer of tactical strategy to the equation. (This makes me dream of a Warcraft Total War someday). You also have giants and trolls as well. Among other new touches are subterranean battles where you can fight. There are tunnels that give you shortcuts but can present ambushes. One of the cool new features is a tactical map. You can move the scroll wheel to pull the camera back to an overhead view and get a general look of the battlefield at a glance.

    The AI is something CA has been trying to get right for a while. It was an absolute mess in Rome II at launch. Its certainly a good deal better here. Enemies will flee only to reform and try to flank you. Reinforcements may appear behind your position. I have also noticed less 'clumping'. That isn't to say there still aren't issues. I have had instances where I give a unit an order and it seems to just remain in the same place. Fortunately these instances have been infrequent.

    The biggest issue I have with the Total War license and indeed SEGA is the 'whoring' of faction DLC. SEGA already does this with Relic's Company of Heroes. Its no secret that the announcement of Chaos as a preorder bonus rubbed fans the wrong way. This prompted CA to change the preorder bonus to being available for the first week the game was on sale. This was a step in the right direction but I feel its a band-aid on a bigger problem. When you announce DLC 6 months ahead of release that will be available day one? It should be in the base game. Its not like this game has a ton of playable factions anyway with just 4 available (not counting Chaos).

    In game content shouldn't be locked behind a pre-order paywall under the guise of a 'bonus'. Certainly not on day one when most games have embargoes leaving many consumers with few reviews of said game. If your game is good you shouldn't have to worry about embargoes or giving fans 'incentive' to buy it. It wouldn't surprise me if they charge $5 for 'blood' like they did for Rome II. On a positive note they have said that the game will be supported with free DLC including Lord, Race, and Campaign packs. Hopefully we see other races like the elves get their own campaigns.

    In the end if you are a fan of high fantasy or Warhammer I think there is a lot here to like about Total War: Warhammer even if it may have a learning curve. Conversely if you are a Total War fan; the change to a fantasy setting may prove to be an engaging unique experience.    … Expand

I even prefer this system over Shogun 2, where npc's just upgraded their provinces which costs you food (a valiuable resource) when conquered - which you couldn't make unhappen, you had to live with that. But that doens't exist anymore. You now have buildings that make sense, you always know what to build. You have your buildings for military stuff and upgrades (eg. forges) as well as buildings for money, towngrowth, public order and so on.
    There is also no Food in the game as a resource besides Gold anymore, but Towngrowth instead (you need to get it to upgrade your buildings). I don't mind that change, it's neither worse nor better then before.
    I am a 40k fanboy, and I like fantasy universes as well, so I hadn't any problems to get used to this new setting, and I quite like it. I enjoy the huge unit variety, the monsters and heroes you get attached to when watching them ripping your enemys apart doing their questbattles to gain special armour and so on, all the new spells and abillitys are fun to use as well.
    It's super fun and it was almost impossible to stop playing this game for the last 7 days, always stayed up to 1 or 2am even when i needed to get up early the next morning. There is so much to do in this game and you always want to play only one more turn.
    Game on higher difficulties can be challanging, I played Shogun 2 for about 700h and I'm quite good at that kind of games. But I had a hard time to survive with The Empire on very hard, hardest faction for me so far, and I played (and finished) all exept Chaos and Vampires (playing them right now) on very hard.
    If the performance would be better, I would rate this game 8/10. It's pretty damn good, not perfect, but a improvement over Rome 2 (and partly even Shogun 2). I see myself playing this game for the next 1-2 weeks quite excessive.
    Co-Op-Campaign is fun as well.

    Graphics are fantastic 8/10
    Animations are gorgeous 10/10
    Performance is slightly under average 5/10

    I'm playing on high with a gtx780ti, i7, 16gb and my fps are jumping between 30-60fps, both on the campaignmap and while playing fullstack-battles. Sometimes your fps will drop for no reason and you have to tap out and in again to normalise it. Same goes for v-synch, when you have it on (to avoid really annoying screentearing) you will have some graphical bugs until you retab the game. You have to do this every single time you start the game. Also Fraps won't show you the fps when playing the game, thats pretty odd (you'll need to use Steam for that). After 70h of gameplay (already) I only had one single crash (when I started the game for the first time).

    Besides the performance there are only a few things that bug me out. Like diplomacy isn't that important in the game, most factions won't agree to whatever you offer them, exept they want it themselfs too, but on that occasion they will come to you to make you the offer (like trading, non-aggression-pakts, alliances and so on). So you pretty much can ignore diplomacy for the most part.
    Another thing that I find annoying is the fact that you have to spend all those points your heroes get after almost every single battle (up to 29 at level 30) as well as the items and followers you get for them (who give you minor bonuses in battles or on the campaignmap). You get them and even lose them almost every single turn. It's a clickfest and I completly ignore them by now and doing just fine on very hard.
    On harder difficultys I didn't find myself using agents a lot, I actually play without them. They are hard to level up, will very often fail their missions and will get killed by enemy agents anyway who will have a ton of them. They aren't worth their money in my book.
    Autoresolve is broken, you're better off autoresolving then fighting for your own, you still can win when the enemy has the favour. When I played Greenskins on very hard I overfoold the map with my "Whaaags!" and played 6 (!) battles manualy. Rest (about 120+ battles) where autoresolves. Greenskins where the most easie and fast to play race so far.

    Well that's it for so far, I hope my review helped some of you guys out.    … Expand

    Personally my favorite Total War game, and not just because I'm a warhammer fanboy. The game makes an effort to make everybody feel unique and expansive. There's hiccups, but every game has them, and the hiccups it does have are the kind that really get under your skin, but only because the rest of the game is so good. If the game actually had real flaws, you'd never even notice the hiccups.

    By building on a strong foundation, it allows its players the freedom of determining their own destiny, with little in the way of flaws holding it back. Sure, I may have some grudges that may never be removed from the great book, but in the end, this is the best experience I’ve had, bar none, when it comes to real time strategy games.
