Warhammer Quest 2: The End Times
60/100 2.5D dungeon crawler - often challenging..
nothing new, but decent if you like similar turn-based RPG games
for Gameplay-guide scroll down
Warning, this game is quite CHALLENGING:
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
-focus on a solid team with enough HP to not die every two rooms
-AMBUSH mechanic is annoying ..and a pain at that
-Travel events are similar ..sometimes very tough
-Grind for gear ..at least your main TANK/DPS should have best in slot around lv. 10

There is a lot of potential in this game to be the ‘go to’ Warhammer Dungeon Crawler. It’s nothing like the original Warhammer Quest (go and buy Warhammer Quest 1 if you want the board game version). I’m more than happy for them to ditch the original rules, as it’s like a poor man’s Hero Quest anyway, and gets super dull after a while.
I’ll go through the negatives first. It’s still not there and feels like it’s still in Beta to some respects. Put another way, they’ve spent a lot of time and energy on the dungeon section and maps, but the interface and equipment screens are absolute mince. Equipping your party is laborious, confusing and annoying. I’m sure the developer knows this, however, and if they make any $$$ back from the game I’d imagine these issues will be fixed rather quickly.

Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Prophecy
-Some spoilers ahead-
Fabius Bile shows up, and I thoroughly appreciate that decision on the part of the Developers. I’d voiced some concerns early on that your player character always seemed as though he could duel Khorne and come out the victor, but the inclusion of characters like Fabius Bile helps to give the player character some realism.
Typhus, Luscious Lucius the Eternal, Miniature Angron, and Ahzek Ahriman are four major Champions for their respective Chaos Gods, these are four extremely famous and powerful characters, and Bile is often mentioned alongside them. The fact that, should you manage to beat Fabius Bile in a fight, you’ll only really be defeating a clone makes for an amazing, reusable character for the game. He’s an extremely powerful lore character, with real motivation and relevance to the story.

Some key points that this Standalone Expansion offers:

W40K Inquisitor Martyr left us with a hefty cliff-hanger… An Uber powerful warrior, age old conspiracies mixed in with so much secrecy… An Inquisitor’s dream job to depict!
Now it’s back continuing that story and with it comes some new goodies and features. A new 2.0 rule set along with a variety of other mechanics that have joined the Prophecy. You do not need to own Martyr to play Prophecy, but if you do, your character progression will be carried over to Prophecy and you can pick up where you left off.

Necromunda: Hired Gun
Best way to describe this game: Doom in 40k. Brilliant game, the athmosphare is pure 40k, the amount of deatail given to this part of the Univers is asonishing. You can tell that the developpers were pashionate and new what they were doing with the Environment. Controls and Gameplay are also verry intuitif and streamlined.
On the negative Side, the Story is pretty bad. But i didn’t buy it for it anyways. Also, there is not as mutch to do as I would wish. The main story can probably be completed in a few hours, and the other stuff are just missions that offer no real reward, besides practice and XP. Personaly, I would also have preffered if you could have more guns on you. especially special weapons. Those are realy well made, but I cant use them, because I would have to swap another favorit of mine out.

Yes, this is not Doom Eternal.
No, it is actually much better.
Let’s not waste the Imperium’s time - Here are three reasons:
You have a dog ✔ and you can pet ✔ and feed ✔ it.
There three reasons already, but in Terra’s name, have some more:
40k Themed Warhammer game ✔ with an Avitus' approved Heavy Bolter ✔
Fun and fast parkouring with wall-running ✔, double jumping ✔ and a grappling hook
but no fall damage ❤
So what are you waiting for?
Kill The Mutant!
Burn The Heretic!
Purge The Xenos!

Warhammer Quest
It’s an OK game but sadly when I play this I can only see the wasted potential of what could have been and the way it could have expose to others the warhammer fantasy universe like the Warhammer Quest (which this game is based on), Warhammer Fantesy Battles wargame or the Warhammer Roleplaying Game.
This game is a basic dungeon crawler where you explore the dungeon and kill monsters in order to reach to the final room and receive some rewards like items, gold, items and experience.
The game fall short in the amount of the random events you may encounter while dungeons crawling and sadly most of those events have negative outcomes so you will most likely try to avoid them if you can.

Summary
A poor implementation of a great board game.
It’s fun at first, but the developers have managed to take a great board game and turn it into a grindfest. It’s as if they were trying to make a free-to-play money pit game. To pile insult onto injury, the PC version is a crappy port of the mobile version, with clunky, painful keyboard controls, no option for remapping keys, and a ton of unnecessary clicking.
Ways the Board Game is Superior
- You don’t have the absurd equipment restrictions of only being able to equip/ready 12 items, and, even more stupidly, only four of each tier (there are no item tiers in the board game). Access to bandages and provisions is critical to surviving the board game early on, but access to them is artificially (and absurdly) limited in the video game.

Warhammer: Chaosbane
Update january 7th 2020:
youre welcome to read the full review, but let me say that after 130h clocked in this game, playing god knows how many relic hunts on chaos 3-5 with max modifiers, ive yet to achieve more than 3-4 greens on a char, out of 10 possible wearables.
this game is straight up just boring. i am a huge warhammer nerd, and ive had so much hope for this game, it had the potential, might still have. but its so much reusing the same stuff, main story is basically the same story and progression four times. were talking with so little difference you hardly see it.

REVIEW : WARHAMMER: CHAOSBANE
ACHIEVEMENTS : 43 / 43 (100%)
SCORE : 6/10
This game is if Diablo 3 had no expansion, was the first game of the studio and just threw a fine and well Warhammer coat of paint on it. This is by all means a good Warhammer RPG game, but this is no true Hardcore RPG experince alikes to POE or GD
… why should I even get this?
If you’re REALLY having a diablo itch and nothings doing it for ya, this will probably be a very good time for you. This is not a hard game with really not a whole lot of setting up to do with builds or complications with how things really work. This is a great introduction to the Diablo-Like Top Down RPGS for a basic, repetitive but overall fun experience

Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr
This game has evolved a lot sine it’s release, there’s still improvements to be made, but the developers turned this game in to a good direction. I look forward to replay this game each season and I dump from 60 to 100 hours each time.
There’s quite a lot of build diversity. Recently minion builds got buffed so if that’s your thing you can play that. You can play sword and shield crusader or equip it with flamethrower to give a little roast in the name of the Emperor. Maybe a tech priest with poisonous auto rifle that hits enemy and then spreads to it’s counterparts? Game offers total 4th classes.

Overall a perfectly solid ARPG. Better than most, in most ways.
The idea of you playing as an Inquisitor and not, as someone put it, a discount space marine as the gameplay suggest, is actually consistently integrated into the writing, so thumbs up for that. The story is above-average for a game. The mission scripting however is laughably bad - listen to a brief exchange with mission control, go from point A to point B, encounter villain, exchange threats, kill each other, repeat. In between A and B you kill a bunch of enemies. Sometimes they are cultists, sometimes rebels, sometimes aliens. But once you have done one mission in this game, you have done them all.

Dark Future: Blood Red States
TL;DR :
Overall, it’s a decent game with great visuals and works well as a “play for a couple hours at a sitting” arcade game. If you pay attention to the developing story, it gets a lot more interesting. Take the time to read everything; it’s worth it, and begs you to stick around for the next chapter. Some of the mission types are a little ugly and grinding, some are great, but in general it’s more fun than not.
Full Review:
I have about 28 hours of playtime during the Beta weekend in addition to the hours playing the release version, so this review takes some of that into account as well.

Based on a board game from the 80s, Dark Future: Blood Red States is a tactical car combat strategy game set in the near future in an American wasteland ruled by a number of warring factions with armoured cars with big guns. The game consists of multiple seasons, with each season seeing you assume a new role fighting for or against these factions. With each season, you have a choice of missions to undertake, be it Escort missions, where you have to escort a vehicle a certain distance, or to just kill as many opponents as you can.

Space Hulk: Deathwing - Enhanced Edition
It’s a horde game with walking tanks against aliens.
If that premise doesn’t drag you in don’t bother.
You see genestealer tyranids, you kill genestealer tyranids, you move on.
You could enjoy the incredibly detailed sections of 40k imperial spaceships but you got nids to kill.
You could appreciate the somber tones of dark ambient music, the creaking space-hulk agonizing around you, but you hear steps and alien screams so you got nids to kill.
You play a walking tank with a fat gun in one hand, a melee weapon in the other , 3 gimmicks in the skill bar and lots of nids to kill. Unless you play an Assault Terminator or are a claw user, you forgo the gun for a fancy melee weapon, you still have lots of nids to kill.

Score
6/10;
“A solid love-hate relationship.”
Scenery
The scenery is absolutely amazing- ‘Triple A’ quality. Very pretty, very detailed. Not sure if you will hear anyone complain about these.
The Xeno’s look and feel pretty damn threatening at first, but the feelings quickly subside for two reasons:
1. You dont ever actually get to see players/bots get brutalized by the Xenos. When they die, they quietly fall to a knee and teleport out. As petty as it sounds, this absolutely killed any sense of peril for me, as this essentially tells you nobody can actually die.

Mighty Dungeons
I enjoyed this little budget game so far. It feels like Heroquest but better. Done 5 of 8 campaigns already in about 5.5 hours. That being said, one playthrough and I think I’ll be done with it. I’m guessing I’ll get about 10 hours tops out of it playing with one of the OP toons.
For the price, if you enjoyed Heroquest as a kid, this is worth.
UPDATE: Underestimated this game. I was playing with permanent death and in the last map of the 7th campaign I was overconfident and ran into a room through a secret door with 8 powerful toons all giving each other gang bonus. First one smacked me around silly.

This game sits in my wishlist for a long time but during this summer sale I decided to buy it. Started with a barbarian to learn the mechanics. Made some bad decision but I am able to finish the first 3 campaign easily. So far so good. I gathered enough points to upgrade so I have increased attack speed, attack and defense for my bloodthirsty barbarian. Rushing through Chaos Gods campaign gives me the first surprise: end boss wipes the floor with me. From 2 hits. WTF? OK maybe I missed something so let’s get back to Skeltor campaign. End boss kicks my butt. Again. What the hell is going on here?

Overpass
Phew, what to even say about this game besides that it is amazing.
The art, the gameplay, the music. It all works together to create this concise but beautiful journey as you play through the original levels. Learning and mastering the game’s fundamental mechanics and the gameplay principle before inevitably showing up at the final level. (The game does a fairly good job of teaching you of this without any tutorials besides basic controls but this also mean that some people won’t pick up on certain things. It may be enough to ruin some people’s ride overall just cause the levels get too difficult for them. No there isn’t much to learn, it’s just the fact that
! the object’s position in lanes is correlated to their movement or positioning. This is taught in the Forest Region and used even more on the Plains Region. )

So I’ve been playing this game for a while now. Around 200 hours by the time I’m writing this review. Here are my thoughts
This is a casual rhythm game. If you’re a hardcore rhythm gamer like osu! Don’t expect this game to be hard as you think. Although you can make it hard as you wish.
The most common complaint I’ve heard is the obscured notes. And I actually see this as a good thing. It’s a rhythm game from a new perspective. Which the reason why it’s a casual rhythm game in the first place. It’s on the music, Not completely on the visuals. You have to have combine your sense of rhythm WITH visuals. Which most rhythm games often doesn’t do. It’s absolutely brilliant.
