What players say

This game has the highest playtime in my library, and I have played it on and off again for the last decade. It's janky as hell, but its the best Mordheim experience on the market. If you crave highstakes turnbased action, not much compares for fans of Warhammer Fantasy

Good game, punishing if your don't know what your doing. It'll take a bit to understand what your actually trying to do but when you do you can understand the brilliance behind the combat in the game.

This game should rename to "random number generator simulator". Literally everything is RNG based, attacks, damage, debuffs, movement... Matches are literally a test of who gets the best rolls.
