Blood Bowl 3

nichts funktioniert

Juegazo con dosis elevadas de diversión y frustración

After roughly 85 hours in this game, I feel I can give it a solid Review. Ultimately, this game is incredibly RNG based and whilst it's a great game to just hop into, have a meme and not care too much in relation to winning or losing, then it's okay, it's a great little time sink on weekends or if you have nothing else better to play. If you want to play this game "seriously" or "competitively", quite frankly, DON'T BOTHER, the base mechanics of blood bowl are dog poo for competitive play. It's a dice rolling game where the ultimate "skill" is minimising RNG, using movement of your player pieces and utilising effectively the skills that they have. Even then, if you do this perfectly, you can still get some awful dice roles that ultimately win or lose you the game. It's silly. To give a bit of context, I was playing a game online against another player who was clearly much better than me. They were much better at decision making and taking the best oppertunities with their dice rolls and minimising risk. They scored early because I was making mistakes and it was looking like an easy win for them. Despite this, every time I went for a "armour break" which was rare due to their superior positioning, I either injured or knocked out their player whilst mine were just knocked prone despite the fact they got way more hits on my dudes. They lost 4 of their players despite their best efforts not too after the first couple got knocked out and I just rolled better dice, this ended up in me scoring 2 points to their 1. From a "game" standpoint this was a huge meme, but from a competitive standpoint, it was quite frankly ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I did not deserve to win that game, but I did because of RNG. Just don't take the game too seriously and you will enjoy yourself more. If you're getting the game to play single player, again, don't bother. Blood Bowl 2 whilst on an older ruleset, is a much better game for single player due to the bigger variety of factions and the complete league tables which creates much better immersion. This game has eternal league which is just a worse version of it's predecessor. The Ai is crap in both versions but due to the better leagues and more factions, blood bowl 2 is just a better game for single player. And whilst it may feel like it sometimes, no the AI does not cheat lol, the game is just pure luck sometimes. I completely disagree with the monetisation of this game. It initially released with few teams and every couple of months they bring out a new team and charge you extra for it. Quite frankly, it's greedy and the game is not good enough to justify the extra charges for the new teams, especially as they are not cheap, it does not add enough content to the game to justify the prices they are charging. There is also a battle pass which again, is lame. In summary, whilst my 85 hours have been up and down and blood bowl is a solid silly game, I can't recommend this due to the reasons stated above. They have tried to make the game competitive with an online ranking system which ultimately is a load of crap because blood bowl at it's core, is not suitable to be competitive, especially at the highest levels, there's far too much RNG involved. The monetisation is poor and greedy and the single player is rubbish and stale after a quick 4 hour playthrough of the lack-luster campaign and then the repetitive and terrible "eternal league". If you want to play blood bowl, just go play the real game or play the free online versions on websites such as FUMBBL or, dare I say, buy blood bowl 2 and play that instead.

Got some bugs, but the main issue is matchmaking. Too often you're paired against someone with a lot better team, so many of the matches are turning into one-sided beating. In addition, for some unknown reason, there is no surrender button. So if you lost a couple of players early in a game against a much better team you are stuck to watch as you're stomped into the ground for the next 20-30 min.

Blood Bowl 3 is a glorious, bone-crunching love letter to Nuffle. The visuals are slick, the animations hit hard, and the rules are so faithful you can practically hear Jim and Bob arguing in the background (aside from their usual comments). Every match is a masterclass in strategy until your perfect plan collapses because a Goblin sneezed at the wrong time. It’s deep, brutal, and wonderfully unforgiving, where victories are fleeting, injuries are forever, and laughter usually comes at your own expense. Highly recommended… unless you don’t enjoy chaos, cruelty, and blaming dice for your life choices.

nice game

game is very glitchy, locks up after 1 game. cannot proceed with matches in competition after the first one

As a new player, BB3 has been a great tool to learn the game. However, the fact that the game needs to be always online, even for games against the AI (Eternal League), makes it so that pausing the game on a Steam Deck can make you lose connection and therefore 'forfeit' the game. This can mean losing all your progress in a tournament, where a single loss can sometimes bring you back to square one. Additionally, the UI could use a scale slider for those on mobile systems - devs, if you don't do it for us Steam Deck users maybe do it for the Nintendo Switch 2 market. Overall, it's not a bad game - quite the opposite, it's fun and engaging. But there are quirks you have to put up with that make no sense at all. Bottomline: if you're getting this game to learn the game so you can play on tabletop, then wait for a sale and go for it, but be ready for some bugs and quirks.
