What players say
Shame to give this game a negative review, as its otherwise a solid 8/10. But frequent, basically unfixable, crashing on modern systems has left this older title basically unplayable. Supposedly the GOG version is more stable, but that has sadly never come over to Steam. Valve ought to make it a priority to either fix or remove from the store games that don't work. What this game is, though, is Warhammer: Total...

Think purchasing this I was expecting something like heroes of might and magic but its more like crusader kings I think. Honestly all a bit dry and bloated. Does work on steam deck though "cutscenes" are completely broken. Skip them and you can play fine.
In the age before Total War Warhammer, the gamers yearning for a Total War like game but Fantasy. Their cry had been answered by King Arthur - The Role-Playing Wargame. Despite all the janks that one could expected from a European game. It did a good job of what it set out to do.
Steam reviews, mixed to its ratio and rotated daily. Opinions are theirs.
