    If you’re desperate for some Warhammer strategy then this may do you, otherwise you’d be best to look elsewhere.

    I found myself wishing that something would appear to redeem Mordheim: City of the Damned, but as it began to feel like every action in the game was taking a few agonizing seconds too long, I realised that I’d lost hope in much the same way as the residents of the eponymous city. Mordheim isn’t a dangerous place, it’s just a bit dull.

    An authentic enough adaptation, Mordheim is deliberately hard and borderline impenetrable to the initiated. Approach with caution.

    Mordheim is unapologetically hardcore, and if you’re not the type to play the X-COM games in Iron Man mode then you might want to give it a miss. It’s complex, detailed, finicky and somewhat unforgiving, and while the strategy can be tense and interesting, the actual combat feels slow and a prone to random elements.

People who like Divinity and Xcom will love this. There’s a lot to do outside battles to manage your warband, which has to be carefully and smartly done before sending it to a mission. The tutorial is very useful to learn the basics of the gameplay, and more help is provided in the first missions of the campaign. Start with normal difficulty quests (use “scout” if none is available on the map) and improve the stats and skills of your warriors before trying hard or storyline missions.… Full Review »

On Xbox One X, arguably the most powerful console out there at the time of this review, load times are extreme, frame rates low, and character responsiveness is shoddy. Perhaps the most offensive part is the user interface. It’s the most cluttered, complex, and convoluted UI I’ve ever seen in 30+ years of playing video games. Mordheim is a frustrating experiene I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.… Full Review »
