    Just text (crutch) to save the game to the list. Such things. Maybe I'll do a review later.

    Крайне залипательно, люблю Вархаммер, люблю Тотал Вор, а потому это крайне прекрасная смесь.

    Really good strategy ;) I have played 2 fractions and dwarfs are boring but vampires pretty good.

    Bad map, bad unit design, laggy, bad transpassing from old version of total wars.

    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 easy to learn this game if you not play any Total War game before.
    * This is not cheap game, has a lot of DLCsBut even the basic game, without DLCs, is amazing.    … Expand

    Another poor effort from CA they really are living off the back of Rome total war now. This game offers no challenge it's just easy. I won the long campaine without ever being the strongest faction or ever having to fight the strongest faction which just seems dumb. Some of the factions will have no involvement in your game what so ever.

    the battles are awesome with magic
    but the campaign is simplistic and it feels more a casual total war game
    but again battles are great and variety of units also great

    Takes hdd about 4min to load campaign & manual fights. AI is challenging even on easy mode, Greenskins can rake in a lot by sacking & raiding kinda like in Attila

    You take the best strategy series in the world and put it in the Warhammer fantasy setting. Its not so tactical as usual but hell more fun when you see your Grimgor Inronhide smashing those nasty dwarfs. Orc Boiz FTW!

    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.

    TW:W is a very fun game that allows you to live out your dreams of massive fantasy battles. I personally play custom battles, but from what I have played, the campaign is also quite a lot of fun!

    Gameplay is fun, different, and engaging. Visuals are nice to look at. All that Warhammer charm is there. While there is a ton of replayability to start with there is a lot of dlc that doesn't make sense.

    Very boring game. I can't wait until they get back to the historical titles, this fantasy crap sucks. Think I will just stick to Rome 2 for the time being, much more enjoyable.

I enjoyed them quite a bit, but manual battle managing was not my favourite part of those titles (I used to auto-resolve most battles). Surprisingly, TW Warhammer has changed the way I play TW. 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

    All Factions are Unique and all got Unique Units. Not like the previous TW games with all those Copy&Paste Units and Factions.

    I bought this game for 60€ at the release,with only 4 fractions in this game, serious bugs, a lack of variety in units and, well, missing important fractions.

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

    This game has exceeded my expectations on release. It runs very smoothly and I haven't encountered any bugs within 40 hours of gameplay. 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. Good AI, Unpredictable AI, New hero system, Air unit

    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.
