Mordheim: Warband Skirmish
Legendary Game’s adaptation of Games Workshop’s classic table top game: Mordheim, set in the Warhammer world. Multiplayer turn-based arena strategy right at your fingertips, you’ll have the freedom to play how YOU want to play. Hide in the shadows and wait for the right moment to strike, get a vantage point and pick your targets off with ranged weapons, or bring the fight straight to your opponent in an up close and personal confrontation, the choice, is yours!
Beware all who enter Mordheim the Warhammer Universe is brutal and it doesn’t get more dangerous than a ruined city teaming with rival warbands and monstrous horrors. A core game feature is a permanent death and permanent injury. Players must prepare for death, destruction and disability. You will need to dismiss warriors from your band that get too badly injured and sometimes you may need to disband a warband completely and start again.
You start with access to the Reiklanders, disciplined, magnificent archers and solid warriors fighting for the family of the old Emperor in a brutal civil war over who should sit in the throne. Can you harvest more Wyrdstone from Mordheim than your rivals to fuel your master’s war effort?
Factions available:
● Middenheim – Strongly built men with a well-deserved reputation for ferocity,
traditional rivals to Reikland.
● Marienburg – Well equipped and well-paid mercenaries from the richest trading city in
the Empire fighting for the newly elected Empress.
● Skaven – Skulking sinister rat men who need Wyrdstone to thrive
● Undead – Agents of the Vampire Counts, helping their bid to control the living
● Witch Hunters – Agents of the Grand Theogonist who will burn first and ask questions
later
● Sisters of Sigmar – The only faction with remotely honourable intentions
● Cult of the Possessed – Men who have turned to the dark powers for salvation
Key Features:
● Tactical turn-based gameplay with incredible action sequences
● Recruit, customise and train your Warband
● A rich, powerful and immersive fantasy world

harrowing city of Mordheim

Love it! Been playing it for years now! Only downfall or bad thing I have to say is it is pay to win. And some sessions are laggy than others. Overall it's a great game if you can afford it
The game is fun and all, but I hate that every other warband is locked and you need to spend a bunch of real money to unlock them. Don't get me started on when one of your warband members dies, if there was an ad to watch to revive them that would be nice. Overall, a pretty bad pay-to-win game👎
It's pretty fun. Starts with Reikland humans, and they're reasonably fun. Easy to branch out to other warbands
FANTASTIC game! No idea despite being newer why Necromunda has to be such glitchy garbage but recently started this and absolutely love it! Smooth, great advancement, battle is structured and fair. Keep it awesome and I'll be playing a long time. Thanks!
The rating system is broken, reducing viable strategies. Fun otherwise.
It is super fun!! U can battle friends or fight unknown AI opponents to gather shards and become the best player
This game is horrible. You don't have full control of your people, the computer just decides when your guys run away from a fight or retreat completely. The AI has a noticeable hit percentage difference. You can literally be point blank with the enemy and only hit them once out of four times, if you're lucky, and it does one damage. Note: You can upgrade your guys to be able to hit four times in one turn. Enemy's turn, one hit, 6 damage. Game needs serious work.
I could honestly see this as being a great game, except the system for calculating when your routed seems broken. I could outnumber the enemy 2 to 1 and they're bar could be empty, they won't retreat. Meanwhile I'm only a little bit under the sword and my whole party retreats. Can you please explain this to me, cause my leadership is high for my rating. I hope this gets fixed soon, but so far it's a deleted game for me. Try it if you want, but prepare to get frustrated after every game.
Interesting game. The game lags so much I had to delete it. Also, some features are confusing to me. Reloading is not explained anywhere. Also, once you do something you ended your character's turn. I wish they just give you 2 ap to make it simpler. For the order, you should put a box thing with faces to see who is going in which order. This game is very similar to Pathway but has a lot more problems than Pathway. I hope the devs will continue to make the game better.
It just takes too long to get into and doesn't grab your attention quickly enough. Great graphics and gameplay (like XCOM) but it just takes a while until you can fully enjoy yourself. Starting off with a more powerful and balanced squad would fix this - get us hooked by beating up comparatively weak enemies for half an hour and let us understand the complexities that you have built in!
A good idea for a game. It has graphics, mechanics, but the gameplay is butchered by money grabbing tactics It's nigh impossible to play this without spending money. The level of randomness, that you have little to no control over is riddiculous. And the punishment for the random elements is super high. Let's talk examples: It's likely, one of your dudes will start a mission in a spot, where he will be soon attacked by enemies. Another enemy can get lucky and instakill your full hp guy.
After the last updates, the game is great. Gameplay and graphics are excellent. The fact that good equipment is scarce makes it more interesting. The only problem is that the links for the Temple and healing before the Camp and in the Camp (with ADs) are not working. It just say to wait and nothing happens or the game freezes, but reestablishing the links with easily fix that.
The game is great. Very challenging, looks good, has very limited options for pay to win. There are certain bugs, some are bad. But considering the amount of game mechanics it's understandable, and doesn't ruin the game for the most part. For those of you looking at my edit history, I'm happy to say Legendary Games came through.
Has good strategy gameplay and would be a 5 out of 5 if it was premium buy to play type of game. However it is held back by its terrible monetization scheme. When your characters die you have to pay $ for it to get them back. This is a huge set back especially as the missions get harder you wont keep up without paying. This is a turn off that makes me want to stop playing the game not invest more time into it.
An interesting and fun game. however the permadeath mechanic is off putting. it wouldn't be better if the game were structured properly as a roguelike but it's not. if you lose a character, it's very punishing to catch a new recruit up, you don't start over. I understand they want to capture the feel of losing units on the tabletop but after a game, you can always refield the same models. you don't smash them with a hammer. the multiple factions are a selling point though and why i tried it.
it is fun but repetitive. only being able to play one warband for free and the others cost a bit for a mobile game. it can be frustrating how much everything costs and not seeing very fast advancement. much like the tabletop though. wish you could roll on the luck chart like in mordheim after a battle. dont get much gold for turning in shards so some random chance chart would be cool. for a mobile game it's not bad. I will say they let you watch ads to save your chars which is a plus
very slow gameplay. good strategy game but not much else, can get pretty frustrating and silly at times. for sure designed for you to gain to lose to end up paying. developers note: the 'watch ad' option to heal characters doesn't do anything. I watched 3 ads to no avail, kinda feel ripped off considering youre gaining from it. Also it will kill off your characters, but your warband's rank won't go down so you'll end up with 3 guys against 12 skaven with rat ogres and wizards. Absolute farse.
I keep seeing a lot of revews of people who say this game is p2w but it isn't. In the temple you can get fate for free, and there is only one faction because the others have special abilities and the free one is the basic one you start off with. Also the purchase are expensive but that is because everyone needs money right? So think before you type.
Playing to status 300 so far. Really enjoying it, havent found it pay to win at all. Pay for convenience sure, but not win. Doing well with starting squad.
