Mordheim: City of the Damned

"The Mordhiem experience Start the first level get jumped by five enemies at once after spending 5 minutes of not seeing any You leader missed a 95% chance to hit twice The enemy fails a terror and all alone test and get to use their turn and hit you twice Your leader goes down You fail the route test You lose You no longer want to play Mordhiem." First time I read this review I didn't understand it, then I played the game and it happened. I ended up playing this game slower then ironman on XCOM, and it is very slow and you can still just die to somehow even worse RNG then xcom because xcom rng is mainly on hit chance, rather then if you even get a turn or not. I have had characters get their turns skipped 4 turns in a row until all my characters died and we routed (forced surrender), and you might be thinking 'oh he must have gotten surrounded so they freaked out, no it was 1v1s but the undeads apparently have a passive check every turn that decides if you even get a action or not. So you can get attacked or attack one, and never get another turn until they die.

It's fun but the early game is really brutal and the level scailing system somehow make endgame missions easier than said early game. It has still a lot of potential and could use a few updates, reworks and DLCs or even a sequel. It also need a lot more story missions.

It's hard, but oh so fun. I just want Warhammer games like the board game. Space Marine II and the like don't do anything for me. Rogue Trader is my style of game, but the setting detracts from the game. This does everything just right. I'm going to check out the Warhammer 40k equivalent, Necromunda. This is so good!!

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.

garbage game with hidden mechanics that ruin the game. secret ambush, enemy always gets advantage and omniscience. the game will force restart because there was no intent on the game being enjoyable. developers had a great game then added a bunch of crappy hidden mechanics

This game captures the tabletop experiance of Mordhiem. Great fun to play and although like most GM games mechanics can be harsh this game does balance warband building with the harsh reality of the Warhammer world.

It isn't an actual RNG game. Developer god complex as usual. I've played TT Morheim and this is just an engagement loop ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game. Look at how the RNG works, oh, and you can't adjust that, can't save a campaign state, and generally want to suck your life out with 30 minute rounds because we can't automate our bot models. Made a spreadsheet of 3 separate campaigns, it's completely rigged. Also good luck with Ambush/Charge mechanics, you're just gimped out of the gate. All of this would be fine if the Devs or game had some sort of acknowledgement of tutorial about it but they don't so the resulting experience is about as fun as copulating with a food processor. If you're thinking about buying this game, take a bath with a toaster, it will be more fun. Make sure it's plugged in.

Wer keine Lust auf Glücksspiel hat sollte dringend die Finger von diesem Game lassen!!! Prozentwerte die einen Scheiß Wert sind, Schläge die entscheidend sind und eine 95% Hit Chance haben gehn daneben. Schlimmer als xcom da kann ich wenigstens mal nen alten Spielstand laden was in diesem Russisch Roulett nicht möglich ist!!! Wer sich dieses etwas in die Jahre gekommene Game kaufen will, von mir keine Kaufempfehlung!!!
