What is Necromunda: Underhive Wars?

This third-person, turn-based tactical RPG takes place beneath Necromunda’s hive cities, where rival gangs fight for power and survival. You build a gang of Escher, Goliath, or Orlock fighters, then guide them through battles using raised walkways, traps, and ambushes. Fighters gain skills and equipment between battles, and you can play a story campaign or fight other gangs online.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy building a gang across successive battles
  • +you like using height and traps in tactical fights

Not for you if...

  • you prefer real-time action over turn-based battles
  • you want to control one fighter rather than manage a gang

What players say
