Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin Reviews

warhammer rts? no... taking the worst parts of dawn of war 2 and 3 such as the very limited base building and unit caps in 2 and the wanna-be moba aspects of 3 and slapping it into age of sigmar era? yeah that about sums it up.. if this was my first RTS game i think i wouldnt care for the genre much either and prob be like yeah this is why they dont make them anymor. But its not... RTS games are fun as hell and timeless. This? its a miracle i even stumbled back onto it on the steam store and remembered how underwhelmed i was to even leave this review.

The worst "strategy" game I've ever played. Rock Paper Scissors except somehow less fun. It's very pretty though.

If you enjoyed Dawn of War's 2s campaign of capture and hold gameplay then you will enjoy this The campaign was fantastic but the ending..well to me it seems like its setting up for a 2nd game, it just ends on a cliffhanger. Graphics are great, voice acting is really well done and the gameplay is fun and engaging. Cant comment on multiplayer as thats not my interest, but on sale (i payed 16 there abouts) its worth it for conquest mode and the excellent campaign

So compared to the other games workshop games. I feel this one is just not hitting the spot. It took me 2 years to play it and i finally got bored enough to play it (this is the 3rd try ). first i heard the developers jump ship not even a year after it release.(last update was 2023) So money grab. it is a game of rock paper scissor on 3 levels. The factions they chosen...... Sad as simple as the rock paper thing was 4 factions compared to the 23 on the table top it might have been alright. it would have been a base line to start somewhere compared to ..... cough cough WH3 it would have been nice. to add salt to the wound it doesnt even have all of the factions units on there tzeench is super small factions and its missing things like chaos spawns but that might be because its miss the rock paper scissors ..... it doesnt have a spot. the story is okay there is a few levels where i wanted to rip my hair out like the tzeench 1st level. high fail rate no way to skip parts of the Story. Now the good stuff. gameplay is alot like the table top with seeking objectives which i thought was well picked. The map building and the armies color schemes were cool (i wish paint was across the board like leadbelcher for a skin color would have been cool). conquest...... not gonna jump on that. What would i like? yes me. Skaven, behemah, lizardmen, tree kin. like factions is what it really needed but the game play got super repetitive after the 3rd battle on skimmerish and when i did the campain missions where it was the same thing ... my eyes crossed. Conquest need artifacts of power. and maybe even character creation to give more life into it. just factions, character creation, maybe pull another battle idea then just rock paper scissor .... like shotgun in the mix. i bought this game when it was on sell. it sits a solid 11$ game with the dlc (which i think were terrible). I would probably play more but i can only do the same thing for so long as it sits ^^11hours^^

i enjoyed the game,its not a easy game but i think that's what i liked. the graphics and campaign are great and a its got an interesting story, would have loved a bit of base building. This is basically DOW 3 but more refined more playable. interesting that they tried to use the DOW3 play style after that shit show but i digress i still enjoyed it. if they can fix the auto attack of the units and make the follow the enemy instead of going to the last known position that be great. my 5 cent i know i am dreaming but base building and resource harvesting in this game would be awesome(like Warcraft3) still a good buy at discount price

This game is absolutely buggy mess. Chepter 2 shaman is unkillable..and why may you ask? Because devs has given you ability not to use optional map reviel skill on scripted scene. DO NOT BUY THIS!

The game is a minimum viable product, there are 3 units at most for each faction by the looks of it. The game play is shallow and uninteresting.

Not sure what to make of this one. I played the first campaign mission and a skirmish battle and the entire time I thought to myself "This is kinda boring." You send in your units to fight, activate an ability and then wait for 2 minutes for that ability to cool-down, meanwhile there is nothing for you to do except watch your units fight. Attack from the rear or flanks does not do anything in anyway. Health-bars drop yet unit count remains the same, yet some units at full health only have 3/4 units, not sure how that works. The entire game is a rock-paper-scissors system where only the Hero units are interesting. Assaults Units defeat Defense Units Defense Units defeat Ranged Units Range Units defeat Assault Units. Wow, such strategy, very tactics.

Like it. The slow combat is fine, takes a second to get used to it, but then it feels like you actually have time to react and use abilities. I actually like that it's kind of hard too. AI goes for your stuff, you need to hold points to get resources, even w/o buildings and it forces you to give a lot to go for your strategy and then hope it pans out and you win. Not sure what all these people are so angry for. Probably not enough dopamine for them in the slow combat and monitoring units in a zone defense. You have to see the map, see the best places to engage and actually contest and defend your shit. It's fun

Good game perfect price when on sale. The game's multiplayer is dead but it has a very good campaign full of cutscenes fully voice acted roughly 8-10hrs and a repayable skirmish mode vs ai with random modifiers to keep playing afterwards. so when on sale for £5-£10 its a perfect price point for the time you get out of it. As well the game has a really good army painter and diorama maker so ive personally been using it as a way to think about painting my aos mini's
