Total War: WARHAMMER

The game is not bad but the way this company works with all the expensive DLCs and the fact that the game itself is a DLC for the new ones doesn't feel good to me. On top of that the Devs seem to keep the price of the outdated base game extremely high even though the game is nearly 11 years old! If you really want to play a TWW game just go with the new one no reason to get this version.

this will be a yes, BUT...... It's a solid, fun game. BUT: 1) the loading times are obscene. 2) the DLCs are so many and too expensive. 3) the tutorial is in the 3rd installment of the game?! To summarize: Only buy if you have a plenty of SSD space, aren't bothered by missing half the content, and are good with youtube videos for tutorial

The best strategy game out there, no comparison. It's not even close. From top down tactics to real time strategy battles, TW Warhammer is the ONLY strategy game you need to be playing, a true masterpiece.

Why is it soooooooo good? Because finally you have no population talking to your war and the WAR here IS ETERNAL. And it is done amazingly well in so many details. Plus its first Total War with magic, flying creatures and epic heroes. Yes! If you are into Warhammer then even more reasons to buy it. You get to pick from a long list of unique races and can even choose a flavor by picking a sort of a faction (Like: “We are the true Von Carsteins”). You can plan and build and put armies together. You get to play nice big battles, lay siege to castles in the best way that there is. Battles are gorgeous. You can pause them, slow down, speed them up, zoom options, nice waypoint system, formations, morale (undead have a mechanic with constant decomposition instead), it has it all and is balanced. If you have an upper hand in numbers you can go for autobattles. After trying your master tactician genius and winning otherwise lost battles (with fraction of calculated loses) you will find out that even though it is Total War, it’s stupid waste of time not to go for Autoresolve sometimes. You save a lot of real life time. You might have problems with a mechanic or two, just because there are so many, they are not well described. You might need a longer learning curve to really master it all and not have to wonder how it is possible that AI has done this or that? You might need a mod or two to tweak the universe. And it is worth it. I played it again this year after many years. I had to tune it a bit to limit AI from spitting new heroes at the speed of toys from a China factory. As it started to show also in the treasury. When there are bugs going about your empire that each require 600-900 gold to crush, you will run into empty pockets soon. And now I played for the last time. Time to put it on a shelf. My nail in the coffin was Norsca armor piercing axe throwing Elite cavalry unit that fired while retreating, even when they arrived as very tired to the battlefield they were still too fast even for flyers. I had problems catching them even though I tried various maneuvers or traps to get them. Still after I won defending the newly conquered settlement those bastards simply popped up on the map with minimum units, but alive. Surrounded by some randomly spawned trash. Then I looked at it and said to myself, I had enough. There are better things to do with my time. A word of advice, if possible, have a reserve second army that will be reconstructing the city, because it will take your soldiers to repopulate it, so you are weakened for a few turns until your army refreshes. And after a few days I decided to give it another try. All the positive recollections drew me to this time trap again :) . I played and played until the end. After I squashed the new ultimate Chaoss invasion I finally went for the main objective. What a satisfaction, almost like… Graphics are excellent, even a year ago. All the factions have everything spot on. To the smallest details, like units clothing with emblems, or other details, structures, development of region as you build stuff in region, up to the pictures about events. Sounds and music are great. Voice acting is spot on, sometimes I had chills going down my spine. Story and objectives are too, as well as comments. Mechanics for building cities are as we are used to in this series. You get some unique resources that you can base your kingdom on. You discover for ex. special steel, you construct recruitment buildings there and start churning new armies for replacements from there from now on, etc. Diplomacy can be used in a good and meaningful way. Heroes are great, they have uniqueness about them. They get optional objectives to develop new abilities, to get stronger. Generals are done exactly as one would expect. Skills are really complementing the faction play style, as well as research. Another level to plan upon. There is a lot of detail and exactly the details are the driver to the EXTRAORDINARY destination. Wow what a ride! If you are either a strategist, or Warhammer enthusiast and you haven't tried any Total Warhammers so far, you have to treat yourselves. Pick a faction, play a campaign for at least a 100 hours. There are so many factions to choose from and they are really unique in many ways. Man, I loved the game. Even with few of its flaws it is a masterpiece. Kudos to the developers. Only one concern. Shame that they don’t include tweaks to style more your game universe, like some rules, or to switch on off certain mechanics, that to some are really disturbing. Too bad you have to go thru modding community for that.

I rate this as S-tier. Just below Total Warhammer 2. Mind this was the first game to come out. So, the base game has some peculiarities with the interface, and the like. Most people buy this to unlock the Old World races (The Empire, Brettonia, Vampire Counts, Dwarfs, Greenskins, Chaos, Norsca), in Immortal Empires. But, since the races are real classics, it's well worth it.

As someone who has purchased all three games, I can say it is one of my favorite strategy games (and overall games) of all time. Came back to play the original to introduce friends to the games and they love it too. Base games are great, the DLC are nice additions but the game is certainly worth playing on its own.

I like the amount of sprites, the level of detail for the age of the game. There are many novel ideas in this game, that set i apart, mainly its copyright.

Pretty much the same as the Third game. A very Good strategy game where you control your units as if you were a big strategist on the battlefield. That is the main selling point of total war, the RTS style battles. But unlike almost every total war game, this one is fantasy. For me thats a huge positive. I find it a bit weird how the main factions are mostly human and stuff very close to it. The more unique factions are all dlcs. Iam not a big fan of that, since they cost a lot.

Finally finished it. If you're Warhammer and Total War fan this game is great. I don't think I'll play any DLCs, but fighting as Empire was so much fun. Now, CA please bring Total War to 40k.

Amazing fun. Not as good as the sequels, but great fun and a great introduction to the series. The spectacle is beautiful. Playing as Vlad and Isabella is so overpowered, and I love it.

A very decent total war game as a standalone, a very good expansion for the next two Warhammer Total Wars. The base factions and DLCs of Warhammer 1 Total War are very fun and powerful they present very strong core factions for the next two games and I definitely recommend getting this game for the extra lords in Warhammer 3 especially Karl Franz the aura farmer himself.

Still learning to play games on Pc , but this strategy game and this series is the best ive ever seen in the genre

It's still poorly optimized for a game of 2016 that still won't give a full 60 FPS on a RTX card in 2025. Graphical fidelity is also obviously not much better than most contemporary RTS. But the campaign is epic as ever and you'll be addicted for hours for the scale of battles and gameplay varieties alone.

For years, I have been trying to get into the WarHammer Mythos and as a novice who has just "started" to learn how to play the game- it has been really fun! If you are a player from the Rome Total War series and you like Lord of the RIngs kind of mythology, then this game is for you. I highly recommend reading the manual before playing the game, rather than just stepping into this game because otherwise you will have a very difficult time like I did. Oof! Anyways, have fun.

For 40 bucks I got all three on sale after playing Attila for quite awhile now this game is a walk in the park but it still is interesting with the fantasy aspect can’t beat riding a general into battle on a undead dragon

Games is nice and if you like warhammer and total war, you will proberly like this game Denuvo thou.

honestly, not a fan of the warhammer titles. the ai seems to have only gotten more annoying and less fun to play against, the varied roster is okay but feels so varied as to be unnecessary and poorly balanced, the campaign is less immersive and just feels like a big mess, and generally i really just don't have fun playing them. not to mention the best factions are DLC and there's so much DLC that you would have to drop an absurd amount of money to get it all. really not worth playing when there are other fantastic total war games. really hope they abandon these, because they feel like someone just slapping the warhammer IP onto a poorly balanced total war game structure so they can go "oooooo look its gorfen dorf the dwarf he's fifteen dollars." im glad i did not buy the third one.

so far so good. only 34 hrs in but lots of fun

if you like fantasy, and strategy, this game is for you :)

Not bad. Quote: "Remember Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, the Life. Probably worth a google?"
