Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat

Works reasonably well

I note a lot of the prior reviews state the game isn't working for the reviewer. I decided to take the plunge and give it a go for myself and the game works reasonably well. It freezes during combat occasionally but it doesn't cause any issues, the game simply resumes a few seconds later. As for the game itself, it holds up reasonably well. It's an interesting premise and a different take on the Warhammer Fantasy world as you play the role of a mercenary commander. The game is as unforgiving as I remember and its attritional nature can see your rag tag bound ground down to too few numbers to continue if you're not careful with your usage of your troops. The battle interface is very clunky, Total War it is not. The screen does not scroll and the units don't always move how you'd like them to. Multitasking between various units and different flanks of the battlefield can be difficult but then that is the challenge. The scripting, voice acting and storyline are all solid and fit nicely within the Warhammer universe. If you enjoyed this game the first time round you'll almost certainly enjoy it again and it's worth the few euro/dollars you'll shell out on it.
