I've played this game for a long time before purchasing this on steam. however it seems that a lot of the negative reviews are from people that apparently just immediately jumped into a match without looking at what the game is about. yes, there is rng, but its entirely manageable if you actually read what stats do, and how different units/ factions play. read what skills do by hovering over them. you'd be surprised at how often the units come equipped with a weapon that will straight up not be good for them. its up to you to properly equip your dudes. as for those complaining about the difficulty. the whole point of the game is that its a hardcore simulation of sending your dudes into fantasy chernobyl to collect uranium. your going to have casualties. and its going to suck when your beloved henchman that was with you from day 1 gets his legs ripped off by a chaos spawn and dies. but baby thats just mordhiem tldr: those complaining about the game didnt prepare for a hard game, and need to gitgud. 10/10 infinitely better than necromunda

I have now clocked +1000 hours over the past 6 years and have completed the story quest with all 6 warbands, so I feel that I am now ready to comment on the game... First of all, this is difficult, until you learn the mechanics. My first warband was Sisters of Sigmar, and they were torn apparat in must skirmishes. I had to recruit new nuns often, and still then once I fielded were missing arms and legs. If you have ever played the tabletop game, it has a quite similar feel. However, I stuck with it and learned the mechanics. Today, I rarely loos a team member with any of my warbands, and find the game rather easy. Then most common reason for loosing a team member is a spellcaster being taken out by a backlash of their own magic. This game has given me many good hours of past time, and a good deal of gray hairs in the early days, but I can highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys a challenge. The real challenge is to solve the game mechanics, which will make this game very manageable.

Just an incredible game, its such a shame the devs dropped it twice. Its brutal and fun and the gfx hold up well. I still have fun and I hope you do too, if you find it hard to get into google guides their on steam. But stick to it, its worth it!

Sept. 2024

Behind a misleading exterior, Mordheim is a brilliantly designed game. Normally, when a game designer wants to scale difficulty, they introduce difficulty modes. Difficulty modes are usually unrelated to rewards. There is no risk/reward when deciding between easy or hard mode. Mordheim allows player to dynamically set their difficulty, constantly weighing risk and reward. Initially it appears that the player is under tremendous pressure. But that pressure is an illusion. There is no pressure. As long as the player is cautious and avoids taking chances, the player will always be safe and prosper. That sounds boring, right? If a player can dynamically set their difficulty, why won't they always choose the easy route? Because FOMO. Mordheim dangles tempting rewards, praises daring successes, and offers subtle chastisement for lost opportunities. While there is no technical pressure to live dangerously, there is emotional pressure to do so, and Mordheim excels at that. At first I thought Mordheim was slow and grindy, but once I better understood the game and settled into its flow, I didn't mind the pace because I realized I want this game to last a very long time.
