Setting the tone for the game are extraordinary graphics with a vibrant colour pallet, fueled by a rich soundtrack.Ī tone of war is set here, and I’m all about that when it comes to, well, games about war. This is only improved further with a deep over-world encouraging you to explore outwards and sharpen your political tongue in the hopes of recruiting your neighbours to your cause-or crushing them in an all-out assault.
The combat is gritty, engaging, tactical, and can ruin your day in a matter of moments. I don’t know if there’s mods out there that change around previous Total War games to include Warhammer elements, but even if there is, I don’t think they could stand up to this. That is exactly what this game is and the reason I love it.
Imagine the developers took down a can of paint labeled “WARHAMMER” and poured it on to the Total War franchise.
