Total War: WARHAMMER Reviews

I enjoyed the game but why are all 3 warhammer games the same price? That makes absolutely no sense and so I cannot possibly give this a good review.

So never played any of the warhammer games. Just bought this and the first thing that pops up is the launcher that shows all the games that you dont own... along with warhammer in the center. To me that should have been a sign. So I start the game and since there is no instructions or where to start hints I just click on the first option I see. What pops up is a steam page where they want to to buy some more DLC... I go back click on the next option to play and boom, more things they want me to buy. Ive NEVER played a game that has more hidden paywall/DLC crap in it. DOnt waste your time on this game or company. I will never buy anything this company makes again. Its great if you are super rich like all the other people who gave a good review of this game, but not all of us are. When we buy something we dont want loads of ads in our game

Total War: WARHAMMER on Steam offers an expansive and richly detailed blend of grand strategy and real-time tactics set within the dark and fantastical universe of Warhammer Fantasy Battles. From the moment players begin their journey, they are immersed in a beautifully crafted world teeming with mythical creatures, legendary armies, and intricate lore. The game’s visual design is stunning, combining lush landscapes, detailed character models, and atmospheric effects that evoke the gritty and epic tone of Warhammer’s universe. The UI strikes a balance between accessibility and depth, allowing newcomers to grasp core mechanics while providing seasoned players with the tools to execute complex strategies. The core gameplay intertwines turn-based empire management with real-time battles that are both visually spectacular and tactically demanding. In the campaign mode, players choose from a roster of factions, each with unique units, strengths, and narrative arcs. Managing cities, armies, diplomacy, and resources requires strategic foresight and adaptability, as alliances shift and enemies lurk around every corner. The campaign map itself is sprawling and detailed, encouraging exploration, expansion, and conquest. The game rewards strategic planning and careful deployment of forces, emphasizing the importance of terrain, unit composition, and timing to achieve victory. Decision-making is nuanced, with choices about diplomacy, trade, and military expansion often having significant consequences that ripple through the game world. The real-time battles are the heart of Total War: WARHAMMER, offering a visceral and engaging tactical experience. Players command vast armies composed of infantry, cavalry, artillery, and monstrous units, each with distinct abilities and tactical considerations. The battles are visually impressive, featuring dynamic animations and spell effects that bring the chaos of war to life. Positioning, flanking, and timing are critical, and the game’s mechanics reward clever tactics and adaptability. The AI opponents are challenging, often employing varied strategies that keep engagements fresh and unpredictable. Multiplayer battles add another layer of excitement, allowing players to test their skills against others and showcase their strategic prowess on a global stage. One of the most compelling aspects of Total War: WARHAMMER is the depth of faction differentiation. Each race—be it the savage Orcs, the noble High Elves, the corrupt Skaven, or the undead Vampire Counts—offers a distinct playstyle, units, and strategic considerations. This variety encourages multiple playthroughs and experimentation, as players can explore different approaches to conquest and diplomacy. The game also includes a robust modding community, which extends the lifespan and customization options, allowing for new factions, units, and gameplay tweaks that keep the experience fresh over time. The lore and narrative are woven seamlessly into gameplay, providing a sense of epic storytelling as factions vie for dominance in a universe filled with ancient conflicts and mythical power. Despite its many strengths, Total War: WARHAMMER can be quite demanding in terms of system resources, especially during large battles or extended campaign turns. The complexity of managing multiple aspects simultaneously can also be overwhelming for new players, though the game offers tutorials and tooltips that help ease the learning curve. Occasionally, the AI may make questionable strategic decisions, and there can be moments of frustration when certain campaigns or battles feel unbalanced or overly reliant on specific tactics. Nonetheless, these minor issues do not detract significantly from the overall experience, which remains a magnificent blend of strategic depth, tactical combat, and immersive storytelling. Overall, Total War: WARHAMMER on Steam is a masterful representation of the franchise, delivering a grand, immersive, and endlessly replayable experience that appeals to fans of fantasy, strategy, and tactical warfare alike. Rating: 8/10

Crashes all the time. I don't think it works on newer hardware. I have reviewed the performance of all hardware, reinstalled windows and reinstalled the game, by itself. It still crashes often (like every battle). I would suggest that the game has not been maintained over time. If true that would be very poor, to be still selling something that no longer works. this producer is off my list.

Fun old game to play. Worth the money, happy to have a chance playing it.

As a long-time fan of the Total War Series, I can safely say that Warhammer is one of my top favorite titles of the franchise, it's got cool factions, a pretty good campaign, and challenging enemies to fight throughout your playthrough (especially chaos). Overall it's a good fantasy meets strategy adaptation, and I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys Total War Games. Just a quick note, after playing TW: Warhammer 1 and 2, I would really recommend just getting this one over the sequel, it's not that the 2nd game is bad, it's just not as good in my opinion. 1's Map Design and Factions are just better overall, no offense to the High Elf Faction in 2.

Its very good thats it... the aspect of morale is used in this game like no other

I have almost 3k hours in all three games combined. I can easily recommend it, after all the bugfixes and improvements. Its only downside is that its very expensive to get the "complete" game.

Really great game and wish it was released years earlier in to Total War realm it's been brought to life so well as. As a fan of the tabletop games it's blended the Total War Engine and Strategy Game with the lore and etc. of the Old World decently and fun to play for many many hours. Thank you for bringing Warhammer to life again!

Amazing Game by itself, I just have gripes about the way CA is handling the pricing and DLC. I'm not sure why it's still sixty bucks, the same price as both warhammer 2 and 3, despite almost being ten years old. I also don't like how you have to have Warhammer 1 to get Mortal Empires, despite the fact that we now have IMmortal Empires. It screams greed to me. CA make the game 20 bucks pls it's been ten years almost no one is playing Warhammer 1 as a standalone game at this point.
