Find a different GW inspired game

All GW-derived games live and die by silly RNG. However, games like Blood Bowl are goofy and fun. I can forgive losing an orc to big, dumb football ogre while I sprint down the field. Mordheim is something else. There's no upside to missing 6 consecutive attacks where you have a 70%+ chance to hit and watching your squad die in the bleak, ugly pit that is Mordheim. If you love grinding out high risk missions to slowly improve your crew, you may enjoy this game. I think it embodies GW's worst tendencies without any of the flamboyant fun.

not worth buying

Highly disappointing game. Very high learning curve. The tutorials start well, then descend into an avalanche of partial information that overwhelms you, with no obvious way to return to understand the mechanics or features. Trying to determine the mechanics *whilst playing* is incredibly frustrating, especially given the lack of an undo button. The UI is awful - it has taken me hours to decipher even the most basic of interactions. It is not just non-intuitive, but actively misleading. There are hordes of symbols (several dozen) with no explanation or even a name, so understanding items, buffs, etc is nearly impossible. There are multiple buttons which simply don't do anything (but instead identify something missing) - one must navigate through different screens to be able access the feature. Examples include the formulas, reserves, and adding items. There is no save. Given the incredibly high learning curve, and questionable mechanics, this alone almost voids the playability of the game. Navigation is incredibly frustrating. There is no mini-map. There is no path-finding. Returning movement points can be random. The overhead map spins around, and is completely disorienting. One navigates by using the overhead map to decide if a 90 degree turn is left or right, then return tot he overhead map. Avoid changing levels at all costs. It is virtually impossible to determine where to navigate, where stairs are, etc. Remember, regaining strategy points can be quite random, so this can completely sink your plan! The RNG is questionable. I routinely have insanely unlikely rolls (4+ misses in a row at 95% hit chance - and this has happened more than once). The skills and spells seem pointless. There is simply not enough gold to buy them (and they aren't overly useful anyway). There are random hiccups - not able to ambush, disengage, etc for no reason I can determine, and certainly no explanation. Do not waste your money, or even worse, your time.

A Mordheim skin

I can't say I'm objective on this one : I'm a Mordheim player. I spent more time assembling, converting, sculpting and painting models than I spent on all video games I played. This video game is too far from the original board game in many aspects. If we always take our time on the board, talking, having a beer, here it's just way too slow. I appreciated the base camp gestion ( which exist for the board game ) and some other functionalities but limititations in warband creation and customisation, the quantity of character stats ( 3 times more than the board game), the combat system with lack of visibility, character turn based and not player turn based, reload each character bow/crossbow, etc It wouldn't have been a 'Mordheim' game, I wouldn't have bought it . Except for the visuals I didn't find Mordheim in there. If you like Mordheim, the board game, there is a good chance this video game isn't for you. I have similiar problems with necromunda and battlefleet gothic video games by the way, for similar reasons.

Regret

I deeply regret having bought this game. I understand the approach of the game, that the City is hardcore and there have to be consequences. I understand, that you have to be careful to always fight in superior numbers. However a weeks work in, it did not feel like a game, it is less rewarding or Fun, than my Actual work. The straw that broke the camel's back: A mission on "Hard" in than had a 360 health point chaos enemy, that was immune to ranged combat with chromatic protection. Two attacks with a two-handed weapon per round and dealing almost 140 damage per hit. WTF? It one-shotted my leader and one heroe in one turn (both died permanently after the mission) and crushed the rest of the troops, while his other troops arrived. All in all 7 vs 1 was unfair - for the 7.

HARDCORE - Valkyria, XCOM, WH fantasy

This game is a blend of Valkyria Chronicles, XCOM, and Warhammer Fantasy setting but cranked up to Hardcore extreme. It includes great tactical combat, awesome customization, permanent consequences, plenty of choice and management dilemmas. "Do I rest my wounded leader and lose 2 days of resourece gathering or do I hire a rookie leader while gold is scarce and risk it all to keep my warpstone shipments consistent?". You really develop a closeness to your top warriors and sweat bullets whenever they are downed by the enemy. When vampires showed up? I was actually kind of scared. Yes it is hard, obscure, systematic, and complex. It is not for everyone for sure. Just for the Hardcore RPG strategy and tactical nuts like me. (xcom in third person with swords and magic? yep, sign me up)
