Mordheim: City of the Damned Reviews

Pretty good

For anyone who is a fan of Mordheim tabletop it will be an enjoyable game once you get your head around the controls and game play. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it to someone not into the genre.

I remember loving this game so much. I can't imagine playing it now. But I think my past-self probably knew better than I do now. Maybe I'll play it again sometime.

I dream of a new version of this taken by another studio that wouldn't abandon the project after a few month following release. It's been almost 10 years.

This game gives you a worse hit chance than Xcom... how?... just how? Its mostly CQC scenarios with a 75% hit chance, but they manage to dodge all the time.

The Game wouldn't boot up, instant crash. I have played the game on console and would recommend.

This game is dogshit. I cannot believe that it is still so janky after all these years Moving around the buildings is so retarded it should be wearing a helmet, the RNG is stupid but it's PART OF THE GAME BNECAUSE ITZ A HARDCORE EXPERINZZZZ I PROMISE, the fact that computer AI always has better placing for battles and has perfect knowledge is ridiculous Do not buy this game, it is a waste of time

its a really immersive and good tactical warhammer game for people who are into this universe and old warhammer , i especially enjoy the UI , unit customization and skill tree for the individual units , progression is satisfying alongside combat when done correctly with good warband builds - its an old game but still very good in my opinion and especially graphics are amazing alongside alot of attention to detail , can recommend!

While not the best I do thoroughly enjoy this game, and come back to it often. For me it captures the feel of Tabletop Mordhiem enough to scratch that particular itch, and while it doesn't excel it's consistently enjoyable! I would rate this over the Necromunda game.

For 95% of you, this game is a 2/5 game, but if you're willing to invest time to learn a strategy game like me, this game is an imperfect 5/5. I've been stuck on this game for seven years on both Xbox and PC. What is Mordhiem? Mordhiem is a tabletop game released and updated in the 90's, about a coming apocalypse in the history of WarHammer fantasy. It's a grimdark parody of Y2K fears. The video game, released in 2016 follows almost none of the tabletop mechanics, thankfully. After the city is destroyed, six factions and their mirror matches battle to collect wrydstone and survive. A campaign lasts until you die, kinda more roguelite than X-Com. You have eight story missions to play, different for each faction, for a total of 32, plus 16 more in the DLC. Unlike tabletop WarHammer or most X-Com variants, a mission swaps between teams according to initiative value. So the quick Skaven go before the slow humans, but more fairly than the tabletop. Unlike X-Com, you choose when to take on a mission; each day offers three or more. Every mission risks death and injuries of your favorite pieces. Every couple of weeks, your 'boss' will demand greater and greater amounts of wyrdstone. Fail four deliveries and you're dead! However, there is an overall experience tracker to give you a few buffs. The four factions in the main game are: Sisters of Sigmar: A group of Nuns dedicated to the God-Emperor. They can't use ranged weapons and are slow in their heavy armor, but can cast the best spells in the game. They also have the single best unit, and they hit hard in melee. They collect the wyrdstone, so it can be stored safely. I love my Sisters army, and they play unlike the other factions. Human Mercenaries: The normal, desperate people trying to make coin. They have some of the best shooting, and are otherwise, a good all-around army. They'll fill you with holes before you get close. They may be survivors of the apocalypse or smugglers. There's a compelling narrative about struggling to make money while also living after the end. The Skaven: Quick and agile ratfolk, using wrydstone to power their warp tech and poisons. They have the highest initiative, so they go first, and they move further than and faster than the other factions. They work best if they can use their speed to isolate and surround individual enemies. on the other hand, they have low health and armor. This makes every mission high tension fun, as you outmaneuver the enemy, but a single mistake can lead to a cascade of injuries. Skaven also have a few fun animations, and great character. Chaos undivided is a random and difficult to master warband. Your heroes gain random mutations as they level up. Some mutations can be very useful, but others can ruin a character (don't try making a ranged hero) Chaos has a great leader and spellcaster, and some of the best henchmen. The possible mutations will have you rerolling characters over and over again to beat the story missions. It's honestly kinda frustrating, and would be my biggest flaw with the game. Do Chaos last, once you have some meta-experience from the other factions. In addition, there's two DLC warbands, witch hunters, and undead. You'll encounter both groups, giving a good variety to the enemies. On story missions and the higher difficulty missions, you'll also encounter wandering demons. Lure the demons into your enemies for an advantage! Mordhiem is a game that gives back everything you put into into it, but it's not for everyone. For me, it's a 5/5.
