Played in 2025: not a fan of the universe, but I got my share of masochistic pleasure from Mordheim. The game’s punishing difficulty kept me on my toes, and each victory felt hard-earned. Despite not being familiar with the Warhammer lore, I found the tactical gameplay engaging and the atmospheric visuals captivating. The strategic depth of managing my warband and planning out each turn provided a satisfying challenge, even if it sometimes felt like I was banging my head against a wall.

The grind can be unforgiving, and I often repeated missions multiple times to achieve success. It was frustrating at times, but there’s something alluring about overcoming challenges and finally winning a tough scenario. The character progression system added an extra layer of motivation, as watching my units grow stronger made the struggle worthwhile.


Yes, but with caveats. If you enjoy deep strategy and don’t mind putting in the effort to overcome difficulties, you’ll likely find enjoyment in Mordheim. However, if you prefer a more casual gaming experience or heavily rely on multiplayer interactions, you might want to look elsewhere. The game certainly rewards those willing to embrace its challenges, but it requires patience and resilience to fully appreciate its depth.

There’s plenty of grind, and the default “Terminator” mode from XCOM is ruthless.

Embrace the challenge and enjoy the journey! May your warband emerge victorious!

I was shocked to return to the Steam page of one of my all time favorites and find the recent reviews to be mixed. Don't listen to the haters, this game is incredible. One of a kind. A must have for hardcore tactical gamers.

Just a fantastic port of the tabletop game. Well worth it!
