    City of the damned more like City of the assed. Piss on your money whenever you think about buying this.

    one of the greatest indie games ive found. Better turnbase rpg strat than XCOM 2 and a must for Tapletop RPG Arena fans, those who played D&D or Warhammer. This is as good as it gets. The game mechanics, the campaign, the quality of builds to your war party, the models themselves....all top shelf. A unique, quaint little arena generator game creator. Clearly a lot of thought from lovers,one of the greatest indie games ive found. Better turnbase rpg strat than XCOM 2 and a must for Tapletop RPG Arena fans, those who played D&D or Warhammer.

Clearly a lot of thought from lovers, fans of true turnbase strat arena rpging worked on this game. They know its a winner and went straight to work on Necromunda Underhivewars. Which will be a huge graphical improvement built over a similar turnbased battle system....FOCUS are publishing some truly unique rpg gaming titles i love that about these guys.... a publisher that i assume has a strong background in gaming based on some of their oldschool commitment to rpgs, turnbase strat genre titles they publish and get behind. Anyway get on this game, its tough, watch some build videos on youtube and read up steam community guides....The game is a bit on shallow side but still plenty of hours of true tabletop arena battling, what it does it does brilliantly well. One of the best games to come out in my days just cos the conversion of tabletop rpging into electronic format has never been done so good. Necromunda will be huge hit… Expand

    This is not a game for casual gamers or people new to Mordheim. As a player of the table top game I think it holds true to the heart of the game. Your battle can all go south on the roll of a dice and you could lose characters you are attached to. There is no saving the same and reloading so what done is done. This is probably going to scare quite a few people away but its a welcomeThis is not a game for casual gamers or people new to Mordheim. As a player of the table top game I think it holds true to the heart of the game. Your battle can all go south on the roll of a dice and you could lose characters you are attached to. There is no saving the same and reloading so what done is done. This is probably going to scare quite a few people away but its a welcome change from other games out there. Your decisions have long term repercussions and you have to think about a strategy in every battle. I have enjoyed my 15-20 hours with the game and anticipate dumping a ton more time into it in between titles. The campaign missions are the biggest drawback from the game - they suck - but luckily they are almost entirely optional.… Expand

    I think this game is awesome. It didn't start out that way though. A clunky UI, so many figures and symbols to keep track of that you feel like giving up. However, after a few campaign battles, i get the hang of it, and the turns fly by as I get to grips with controls and UI.

    As a GREAT fan of the tabletop version of Mordheim, I must say I might be a little biased, but I still play this game regularly. And yes, sometimes, it feels like turnbased slugmatch, but try to accomplish the secondaty objectives and youll really get the hang of why this is such an awesome game.    … Expand

    One of the best turn based RPG game around! 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.

    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.

    Like its PC brother the console version of City of the Damned delivers challenging turn-based strategy. And like its PC brother it lacks technical finesse and precision. But that rarely impacts the fun.
