new Warhammer game in the making: Tactical turn based

[JasonPratt]

Sounds interesting but also like you're just being led through a series of set-piece scenarios.  :-\

Having now actually read the description, I don't know how you're saying that...? It seems a lot like the Blood Bowl PC/console adaptation, except with a strategic map.

Gather your warband. You are to seize control of fulcral areas and gain access to precious resources in Rogue Factor's now disclosed Mordheim: City of the Damned.

    Set in the Warhammer world's decimated Empire city, Mordheim: City of the Damned is a turn-based tactical game where you lead warbands into bloody and lethal skirmishes. The game blends RPG elements, fast-paced tactical combat and intricate unit customization in a time wrought by chaos and rivalry where only the strongest survive.

    After the Comet of Sigmar crashed on Mordheim, the City of Damned turned into a terrifying battlefield where rival warbands fight fiercely for the control of key neighborhoods, looking for glory and fortune by acquiring the very valuable Wyrdstone fragments.

    Pick your warbands from iconic Mordheim factions - Sisters of Sigmar, Possessed, Skaven, Mercenaries from the Empire, and many more - and lead your troops to battle. Recruit new units, equip them with enhanced gear. Evolve and customize your warband with the experience gained from each successful mission, transforming them into a terrifying force on the battlefield.

    Devise the best strategy to annihilate your rivals. If you fail, some of your units might lose a limb... or worse. Keep in mind that in Mordheim: City of the Damned, a dead unit is lost forever! Consider the environment when formulating your battle strategy, exploiting the unique buildings, ruins or the layout of the streets. Deploy your troops carefully and anticipate the actions of your adversaries to set up ambushes! Organize ingenious battle plans where the talents of your units will be as important as your own luck during key moments of combat.

    Loot items and weapons hidden in the ruins, or steal those of fallen opponents. Survive the dangers that abound in the City of the Damned and collect as many Wyrdstones as you can, but remain ever vigilant. Mordheim is one of the most treacherous places in the Warhammer world!

    In these epic battles where fame and glory await, your strategy will definitely be your best ally! Visit the four corners of the City of the Damned to complete multiple missions in the solo campaign, or challenge other players in enthralling multiplayer modes.

Hrmm.  Maybe you're right.  This could still have some decent campaign play.

Guess we won't know the details until more press shows up.

If we're lucky it'll be reminiscent of mordheim!! You know, been based on that game and all that  :P

And then they'll reskin it and sell it as necromunda and I'll buy that too

Coming soon mordheim but nothing like it at all  ;D

Wow that came out of nowhere. I have a lot of fantasy gaming on my plate right now though...no reason to get this in early access.

[JasonPratt]

I don't usually do Early Access anymore, but for this one I may splurge.

Just sounds like a small multi-player arena battle game.

Which may have been okay for the tabletop, but I dunno if there is enough substance there for a PC game since it will probably depend on MP matches.  Not much in the way of single-player there.

It looks a bit like a Warhammer Mount and Blade style game, but able to select individual heroes. Am I wrong? What do you think? Units seem to be individuals rather than unit groups of individuals.

Ummm.. I thought it's going to be a turn-based tactical game with a pair of short linear single-player campaigns and some multi-player Point Buy arena matches.  Or MMOA style xp grinding matches.  From what I've read anyway.

Well that's what I thought too, but I've had a look at Tpek's link on Steam, and those were my initial impressions. Have a look and see what you think after you've seen the two videos. OK, I know it's all pre-alpha, but check it out.

Note that the second video mentions "leaving him with some Action Points" and there are various blue movement range/point circles those characters are each being moved through before they stop and he switches to the next character on his team.

Looks like a 3D WEGO turn-based system, if not IGOUGO.


Edit:  Yep, it's turn-based.  The second vid demonstrates.

I'd understood it to be xcom warhammer

But I wasn't aware it was mp arena, but then again SOS the boardgame!

Clearly this should be a thing.  O0
