Another day, another bad Warhammer game
This is a below-average ARPG in an age where you trip on groundbreaking Diablo clones yearly. There's simply nothing here that is not done better than competitors that are even 10 years old, much less the classics or some standout new games. Fighting enemies feels like chopping down trees, the mechanics are even simpler than Diablo 3 and somehow not explained at all, and the pacing... Each act is set in a different town, but each act only has a handful of enemies and a couple of different maps. Think of Diablo 2, only act 1 only has Fallen-type enemies throughout the WHOLE THING. And it only takes place in the graveyard and a couple caves. This has got to be the worst act 1 out of any Diablo clone I've ever seen. It's 90% a sewer level, I kid you not. You'll be begging to go back to the generic cemetery or generic castle after only a couple hours. At least give us Skaven to fight in the sewers! Can I PLEASE hit a generic skeleton instead? Anything but another Nurgle cultist or ENDLESS GIANT RATS. This is to say nothing of the story, which may or may not exist. Teclis shows up and tells you to do things instead of just fixing literally anything himself. The guy is the most powerful wizard in the setting, and yet doesn't lift a finger or even understand how cultists or beastmen work. This would be like if in a DBZ game Goku showed up and told your OC create-a-character to go beat up gangsters in an alley and then asked what the Dragon Balls do. It's the most blatant, cheapest fan service for Warhammer fans with zero understanding of the material. Not only that, it doesn't stand on it's own two feet. There IS no story outside of 'save the king'. So who is this for? Warhammer fans who know this is an asinine plot? New people who don't know who this knife-eared fop is? It's for no one. We've seen it all before: the Warhammer IP goes out to a no-name mobile, or in this case, shovelware game studio for a song just to see if they can make a quick buck based on nostalgia and the hard work of art design and writing teams from decades past. If it weren't for the star-power of the IP there would be no crutch for any story or gameplay mechanic to stand on here, it's all smoke and mirrors. The game is dirt cheap, so if you were curious you wouldn't be wasting much money, but it would be a waste. Go play Torchlight 2 again. When's the last time you played Titan Quest? Dungeon Siege is pretty cheap. You played Grim Dawn, haven't you?
