Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin

this is a different RTS. and this time it is actually a good thing if you give it a chance. it is slower paced and the micro managment is much more managable and enjoyable. if you are new =or dont usually play RTS games you will probably like this. if you like classic RTS games just beware this is not normal. i like a slower combat aspact i usually dont like fast paced as it keeps me from enjoying the game. this ticks those boxes pretty well to be honest. and the campaign is awesome

Most of my time on this was via the console version (I play it with a Keyboard and Mouse) and my experience has been underwhelming. I'll only give this a recommendation out of pity and only worth picking up. Some say it was the console market that was the reason it failed, which to me comes off disingenuous when we had Halo Wars, matter of fact, if the game has base building like Halo Wars and more varied game modes than just capturing points I think we would've actually had an amazing title—sadly this isn't the case, and we got instead was a watered down DoW II with mechanics that shouldn't even be considered like having no control when your units are locked in combat apart from a retreat button. Lack of modes with only just one, but apart from that there's a lot from a map editor, an army painter and a pretty good campaign. Its a shame that the rest didn't live up to what we hoped for the grand AoS game is fans have long waited for. I do hope Frontier makes a sequel in the future, unlikely but I'm allowed the naive dream. If they can make their money back I'm sure they would learn and adapt what they did wrong.

Bien mieux que ce que dise les critiques

This is actually a very competent RTS with good graphics, I liked its slow pace so you were able to use each units unique skill for maximum effect. Campaign story was diverse enough to keep you wanting to play to the finale.

Completely abandoned, could have been fixed if developers cared

Decided on a whim to spend a weekend playing the Campaign for a friend who didn't have the game but was getting interested in the Tabletop version, and wanted to see what the story was for this title. My god, what an absolute 12-hour slog that was. Started on Veteran because ive had my fair share of RTS experiences, yet the combination of the sub-par unit movements and response to my commands along with the general sluggishness of the game really made everything feel plain ol' *bad*. Dropped it to "Normal" after the first 4 chapters and even still, the game felt challenging due mostly in part to the clunkiness of the general gameplay. I took multiple breaks not out of tiredness or health consciousness- but simply because the game had pissed me off in its inability to perform like a decent Real-Time Strategy game. Campaign missions were often cheesed instead of dealt with in the intended manner. My best example happened to be in one of the final missions, so spoilers ahead. [spoiler] Chapter 17 has you fighting the big bad monster and the game tells you to wrestle control of the building areas in order to weaking the baddie's self-healing. I tried multiple ways, amassing forces, bulking units, even following the god-awful Rock, Paper, Scissors-centric combat I could barely take half of them before the game simply spat out more units than I could produce and ran me over. In the end, I simply took the first point by force, then spawned the heavy ballista unit 5 times along with some minor melee units to keep chaff off and I was able to beatdown the Final Boss within a quarter of the time it took me on multiple previous failed attempts.[/spoiler] Also, the game demands you make an account to play Online- which is an immediate "♥♥♥♥ You" in my book. Overall: Story was enjoyable, the characters and writing were great- [b] ESPECIALLY the Ork faction who were a constant source enjoyment. [/b] Gameplay was atrocious as the units were unresponsive, selecting them often had me mistakenly send full HP units to retreat because of their bizarre system for grouping that never seemed to work as well as it does in other RTSes. I would spend my money elsewhere, pretty sure I got the game from a humble bundle where it wasn't the main draw anyways.

Decent game if you can get it on sale rather than full price. Similar to Dawn of War 2 there is no base building and combat is squad based around control points. Feels more like a lane pusher than a true RTS though Good: - Captures the Warhammer aesthetic really well - Brilliant voice acting and visuals - Decent sized campaign with some intense missions Bad: - Unit AI is pretty bad, especially when pathing for spread out groups - No way to disengage from melee combat aside from retreat to HQ - Above makes kiting with Skirmisher type units hard to use as they love to run into melee - [spoiler]Why isn't there more signposting to the Deepstrike ability on the 2nd to last mission?[/spoiler] Ugly: - Generally clunky UX design - Units feel slow and unresponsive - Opportunity for meaningful micro is limited, mostly ability spam - Slightly abrupt ending - Why can't muster points be hotkeyed? Would make adjusting rally point during combat much easier

naaa... ni completo esta la garcha esta. mas muerto que la mierda

First off I'm old school gamer and I don't understand where all the hate is coming from for the game. This is classic style of a game like StarCraft, C&C & Warcraft. All games I loved playing. However this game has much more to offer in graphics and game style options. Other then crashing after every chapter cut scene. The game play has been enjoyable. For the current price you wont be disappointed if you like this style of game play.
