Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat

So much nostalgy! If not the clunkly controls and awful camera angle it would be best RTT ever!!! But it was made soo loong ago and it was not a problem at all for me at that times... good times. So far my best RTT nomination goes to Dark Omen (sorry Warhammer Total War you are not ever near in terms of battle mechanic) P.S. And yes I can run the game on Win 10 without any issues

The game has a lot of bad review because of some incompatibilities of some older version. I just want to balance thia out a bit. I works just fine on my machine (Win7 64bit). The game itself is great. The controls are a bit clumsy in the PC version (have been mch improved in DARK OMEN), but still, a great game! Feels very Warhammer like! By the way: Where ist Dark Omen!????

I read a bunch of reviews saying this game didn't work. I bought and installed it on sale and no problems to get it going on windows 10. So either there has been a new patch or something has improved since the reviewers last year. Plays just like I remember it use too. Obviously not many pixels in the old days - so be prepared to play it blocky or in a window.

This is a good game. It was the game that introduced me to warhammer. The story is compelling and the game has a couple of hard missions but are doable. I finished it thoroughly when I was younger and it was the reason I first bought at gog. I got it expensive, and I don't regret it, as I have had it installed on the pc ever since. I am unable to speedrun it as I used to. I play a mission from time to time and despite its age still I enjoy it as much as I do TWW2. It runs very well in W10 64 bits, despite being a bit faster so you have give commands pretty fast without rushing yet. You get in the game fast, UI is ten minutes, read the manual and win the first mission, don't turn down the game at first try, as ui is easy but not at first sight, needs some dedication at first to get it. The graphics are not as good as I remembered but very passable in 1080, you forget about them when you are 1 minute into the game and the grudgebringers charge into the orc shaman. I would get Dark omen if it was available, I had it on console but I prefered this one as the enemies (skaven, orcs, trolls are more compelling to me than undead) despite Dark omen is as good or better. I see little reviews but I you are young and enjoy Total War, or even Dawn of war, this game is old but gold. Gets better as you go, and get you completely hooked in the end. But beware, its pace in W10 is a bit faster, and after the easy start there are some tough midgame missions, beat those and you will get some of the most epic and massive undermountain included, warhammer battles. I truly encourage you to try it if you can get it. It should be a bit cheaper, gog has become a bit pricier lately but,hey, you keep these classics available, and promote DRM free gaming so people, hats off! You have my support.

Windows 10 latest update 18/10/2017 - It Works!!!! Failed the first mission, Just as hard as it used to be :) I tried it before on Windows 10 and it didn't work. Sometime in October 2017 windows released some patch for whatever reasons - i didn't pay attention, don't even remember the name... however It's the first update i've been prompted to install in months so i think it's safe to call it the 'October 2017 windows 10 update' I didn't need to download patches or any nonesense. Just downloaded the .exe installed - and there it is; ready to play. I hope you all have good luck with this if you try. One heads up: the controls are AWFUL, and the resolution is so small you can hardly see ahead. BUT this is SOTHR, one hell of a game ^^ Well back to the first mission xD
