“This game captures the tabletop experiance of Mordhiem. Great fun to play and although like most GM games mechanics can be harsh this game does balance warband building with the harsh reality of the Warhammer world.”
“I bought this for the turn-based combat and was not disappointed. Forces players to "git gud."”

“Awful, broken game. Full of jank, RNG dice rolls for every action, and unclear and unintuitive rules. Cool setting, bad game.”
“If you go into the game without expectations, it's a fun time. None of the factions have much of a story, and the matches are extremely slow paced, but the combat system is rigorous enough to be interesting and the…”
“Always loved the vibe of Mordheim on tabletop. Love it here too. Hope they remake both versions.”

“Brutal hard core fun! Combat injuries received by characters can be permanent and carried forwards, such as loss of a limb or eye. I wish they would make a sequel to this game.”

“This game opens with the kiss of death. "This is a brutal game where you have to make the most of a bad situation blah blah blah". This usually means "we didn't know how to make the AI play strategically, so we just…”
“One of the top worst Turn based BS experinces you can have.... UTTER BS nonstop, with alot missions just being nonwinnable at all, with no victory due to just F you mechanics. I would give this game props for some…”

“Meh, it had great potential but was too rough with atrociously bad design choices, too much reliance on RNG and deliberately unbalanced mechanics in some cases for fake difficulty instead of strategy and planning. Wish…”
“This a difficult and challenging game not for the faint hearted. But its rare to have Warhammer skirmishes in this format. I have enjoyed it though I must say it can be tormenting.”

“Its a well done tabletop port. I never played Mordheim in the late 90s but I did get pretty heavy into Frostgrave and this scratches a similar itch. Punishing perma consequences gameplay but the tension really adds to…”

“I really like Mordheim: City of the Damned. As a fan of the Warhammer Fantasy setting and turn-based tactical games like XCOM or Darkest Dungeon, it really clicked with me. The gameplay is about making the best out of a bad situation. You’re constantly dealing with injuries, bad…”

Now remove all of that and give unexplained, vague mechanics and alarming miss rates between you and your opponents masked as being "brutal hardcore" that is experience…”
