WAAAGH! Waaagh! nevah— sorry, never changes. At least it doesn't in the Warhammer universe. No other fictional world has a more dystopian war junkie heaven than what Games Workshop created for the tabletop category. As with all wargames be it tabletop or other more physical forms, they fit in quite well in the gaming industry. Hence, Warhammer has enjoyed its fair share of good 🧸titles both for the 40K and F꧑antasy aspect.
As expected, the titles mostly thrive as strategy games, both real-time and turn-based. However, a few outliers have also proven that Warhammer is rich enough to not just be limited to a digital elaborate chess match. More importantly, they're all spread out across the main platforms of gaming, in case someone gets their urge to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:wage Waaagh! while committing to a specific platform.
10 🐎 Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus - 79
Mechanicus is one of the most recent Warhammer🌳 games to be released and it aims to bring the tabletop experience to consoles and mobile phones. Mechanicus puts the most advanced army in the Imperium of Man in the hands of the players.
The gameplay is turn-based and fans of similar formats like XCOM should find this quite a treat. Overall, the general consensus for it is that the content and replayability are phenomenal as well as the challenging gameplay. Newcomers to the franchise or turn-based games, however, m💮ight find it a little too harsh or cryptic initially.
9 Warhammer Q🌱uest - 79
Moving on to the Fantasy aspect of Warhammer, Warhammer Quest is a multiplatform game that has been around since 2013 and has proven🐭 its success many years over. It's still going strong to this day and remains highly-rated.
In terms of gameplay, it's similar to most 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Warhammer 40K games and assumes a tactical top-down view. It's turn-based, for that matter, and might be a b🙈it of a turn-off for fans expecting Diablo-esque gameplay since Warhammer Fantasy is ripe for th🅠at setting.
8 ⛎ Warhammer: Vermiꦜntide 2 - 83
The Vermintide series is one of the few Warhammers games to veer off from the standard formula of its cousins. Vermintide 2, much like the first Vermintide is a first-person co-op survi🌞val game in the same vein as Left 4 Dead.
As the title implies, Vermintide ༒2 pits the players against the Chaos invasion spearheaded by their pesky Skaven slaves. Players team up with the AI or three others as they face wave upon wave of rats, hulking Chaos Chosen, and other monstrosities.
7 Wไarhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - 85 ꦕ
The Dawn of War games have proven their success after several expansions and it's only natural that the second one gets the same trꩲeatment. Dawn of War II does a lot of things right even though it tried to spice up the format by going smaller on battles.
Dawn of War II borrowed a lot ♍from the success of RTS games like Company of Heroes, which was made by the same developer. One might even argue that that setup closely resembles the tabletop experience since it's more squad-based.
6 Total War: Warhammer - 86 🌃
Of course, just when fans thought that the F🅺antasy universe of Warhammer has no more hope or is devoid of love from the gaming industry, out came Total War: Warhammer. It breathed new life into Warhammer Fantasy and the Total War franchise.
Total War: Warhammer, is the most ambitious Warhammer title in terms of scale, at least until its sequel. It's a grand playground of the most popular 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:playable races of Warhammer Fantasy where players can play diplomacy with other factions as well as control their favorite 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Warhammer units by the thousands.
5 𝔍 Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - 86
Dawn of War II might have been successful in incorporating the Company of Heroes formula 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:into Warhammer 40k, but it was the first Dawn of War that truly put the franchise on the RTS map. It's a unique take on the RT💝S ge🌃nre.
It was a rather important change back in the🌌 day when most games were slow and too traditional. Dawn of War s♛hifted the focus on frontline combat and ensured that action is always available and combat is always an intense tug of war.
4 🃏 Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - 86
Another outlier among Warha♓m🐼mer games is Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. It's an ambitious project that aimed to steal the crown from industry giants such as World of Warcraft since ironically, Warcraft borrowed a lot from Warhammer.
Sadly, Warhammer Online never achieved what it set out to do. That doesn't mean it's not a decent MMORPG, however. Warhammer Online is still a🔯 fun theme park onl💖ine game where players choose their race and set out to choose their side in the dystopic everlasting war.
3 💦 Warhammer 40,000: Deathwatch - Tyranid Invasion - 87
Before Mechanicus even arrived on the scene and became the most graphically-advanced 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Warhammer 40k game, Deathwatch🌺 🤡- Tyranid Invasion was letting players kill Tyranids by the swarm using 'roided Space Marines.
Much like other 40k games this one is also turn-based and assumes a top-down perspective where players get to control their own Space Marine squad as well as customize them. In a way, it also replicates the table❀top gameplay well enough.
2 🐻 Warhammer 40🧜,000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade - 87
Even though Dawn of War was the pioneer trendsetter 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:for 40k on the RTS genre, it wasn't the most favored. That title goes♒ to Dawn of War - Dark Crusade which is a standalone expans𝓡ion of the series.
That's because Dark Crusade introduced a Civilization-style campaign with a fully-fleshed out story for each faction of which there are seve💝n. All of them are unique in their own way and are faithful recreations of their own tabletop counterpa🤪rts, which is an achievement in itself.
1 Total War: Wಞarhammer II - 87
It seems that ♋the recurring pattern for most Warhammer games is that their sequels or successors are better versions. The formula has been♈ refined to the point of near perfection, such was the case for Total War: Warhammer II.
It's currently the most highly-rated Warhammer game based on critical reception and also the fact 🧸that it's only available on one platform which is 🐲the PC. That is until the game gets dethroned by its planned sequel, Total War: Warhammer III which aims to finally give Chaos the spotlight it deserves.
