Necromunda: Underhive Wars Reviews

I paid a dollar for it, still wasn't worth it.

Didnt play long due to game being painfully clunky in its controls

It's a real shame. I loved the tabletop game, but this game just does not work for me.

I actually like this game a LOT, it's like Morheim but in 40k Necromunda setting and with better mechanics, if you liked Mordheim and you like 40k, you will enjoy this game, I Love 40k but did not particularly liked Necromunda but still enjoying this game a lot, I have already more than 100 hours in a game that I paid 2.5 USD in sale with gang DLC included, I understand the complains, and yes!, the game had so much potential, the graphics are fine, the dynamic music is nice, game-play loop and mechanics are good and the ambiance is perfect, the only problem is AI sucks, not to the point that will prevent you from enjoying this game if you don't have huge expectations but definitely needed improvements, prioritizing attack instead of buffing and doing objectives will be enough, sadly the game is abandoned, so you rather play in higher difficulties, and don't get me wrong, AI is capable of taking down your gang member if you don't pay attention, but better AI would make this game way better for sure. Still recommend only if you liked Mordheim or like tactical turn based RPG and W40k, it's an easy pick in sale and get gang DLC at least to get more enemy variety, even if you don't plan to play them.

I wanted to like this game so badly. Huge fan of 40K and loved the tabletop game plus I adore turn based squad tactics games on PC. This game checks all my boxes, but it really sucks so bad. Clunky, awkward, a lot of the rules make no sense and somehow it manages to combine being over complicated with ploddingly repetitive and is achingly slow to play. So frustrating; this is one of those games that every so often I reinstall because I think "I love the setting, surely it can't have been as bad as I remember" and then I uninstall almost immediately it in a flood of disappointment. Just not fun in any way.

Is it great? No. Is it good? Yeah Does it look good? Yepp Does it sound good? Always. This is another Games Workshop license game that could've been amazing but end up being good. There is a 15 part story mode and an Operations mode that you can repeat. Operations mode is where you have the most fun though as you get to create your own team and progress it through an operation; a series of battles and have choices to improve them and gear up. The AI of the enemies could've used some more time in the over though as they sometimes make sound decisions that completely screw you over, but other times get stuck on terrain or mistake verticality and end up using a reaction skill instead of actually participating. Did I have fun? Sure did, but after playing though the story twice and the operations on different difficulties with each of the 5 houses I've done all there is (aside from steam achievements). However, I feel like games such as X COM did a better job at making a campaign out of it and systems surrounding it. This one is keeping close to the board game which both assists and hinders it.
