What players say

75% of 11,880 reviews are positive · 69% of 52 in the last 30 days

Players praise the writing, Warhammer setting, and tactical combat, especially its emphasis on aggressive play and careful planning. The dominant complaint is harsh, uneven difficulty that punishes early mistakes and encourages narrow optimized builds; some players also report save or turn-stalling bugs and online checks interfering with offline play.
