Warhammer: Mark of Chaos - Gold Edition

Decent game let down by design

Im going to be honest: this game is boring. Its weird design essentially corners itself into monotonous gameplay in a way you cant really fix. Its looks and atmosphere is great, mechancs are functional, hero system is perfectly fine and its all let down by it being a persistent army dragged through a linear campaign. Because theres virtually no macro like in total war games (on an empire level) the game is extremely static. You're expected to run through the entire campaign with the same units that you gradually upgrade so the game cant put you in a tense situation because even a phyrric victory is essentially a game over because you dont have the resources to build up again. Every single mission is you moving your entire army block slowly forwards in the same manner while dealing with a small trickle of enemies that you always overpower. Add the fact that ranged weapons have unlimited ammo and you're in a situation where the game is just a dull crawl. The chaos campaign is a bit better but only because you dont have reliable range. If you're a fan of Warhammer fantasy you might wanna check it out but honestly Id just reccomend Total War Warhammer or even Dawn of War (dark crusade). Both of these do the dual gameplay aspect way better and more interestingly.
