Total War: Warhammer Critic Reviews

Warhammer convincingly teleports you into a fantasy universe where those miniatures that you used to spend weeks and months painting in anticipating of grand tabletop wargaming are able to come to life.

An old classic and new ideas put together a great continuation of the legendary strategy series. This is exactly what Total War needed.

Creative Assembly has outdone themselves with the best concept for a Total War game since Rome with the biggest, varied and intriguing campaigns in the history of the franchise. The variety between the different races is enormous and the lore, upgrades and units are no slouch either. The tactical decisions you’re faced with are endlessly deep and everything looks stunning as well. This is a masterpiece.

Total War: Warhammer is not only a great Total War game, but one of the greatest strategy games of all time.

This is one epic game. A great fantasy battle circus, the new CA title is quite the visual experience, while remaining tactically engaging.

Total War and Warhammer are a match made in heaven and Creative Assembly’s latest release is a dream come true for the aficionados of both franchises. As a fan of Game Workshop’s tabletop original I have waited my whole life for this game.

Total War Warhammer is perhaps the best Total War we ever seen, offers all great features of Attila and brand new fantasy gameplay with the creatures and magic of Warhammer, one of the greatest strategy games of the year.

It is a shame Total War: Warhammer has not been made before because this game is fantastic in every way. All factions come to life, there are game mechanics that make every race different; they give the game personality. Thanks to the spectacular battles and four strong campaigns, this is the best Total War game we have ever played.

Total War: Warhammer is a dream come true. The most complex and attractive way to dive into the Warhammer Fantasy world.

A richly-crafted recreation of the Warhammer world and the best Total War game in years.

The fantasy setting of Warhammer provides the perfect canvas for the mass-scale battles of the Total War series. While very approachable to potential new players, it will appease the demands of seasoned veterans. Creative Assembly has managed to capture the essence of Warhammer and transfers its epic feel in their best iteration of the Total War series, yet. All this has been delivered in a stellar performance-optimized package. It's a title which should not be missed.

Total War: Warhammer is a lovingly-crafted representation of the Warhammer world that is ripe for players to forge their stories in. It’s a must-buy for every Warhammer fan and Total War aficionado and is potentially the best release from the studio since the original Rome: Total War.

Total War: Warhammer is the most interesting, most polished, and most enjoyable Total War game to date. Depending on which camp you come from you may have a slight learning curve, but its definitely worth it as this game has plenty to sink your teeth into if you're a fan of strategy, high-fantasy, or both.

It is perhaps the best use of the Warhammer license that I’ve ever seen, easily rivalling the Dawn of War series (which is thankfully different enough that I don’t need to decide which is better or worse) and perhaps delivering a game that is dangerously capable of pleasing both Total War and Warhammer fans alike, because of how well it handles the strengths and weaknesses of each.

Total War: Warhammer is a brilliant romance between an iconic tabletop game and one of the best strategy game-series ever made. New gameplay mechanics, epic fantasy battles and great variety makes Total War: Warhammer a highly replayable joyride.

Total War: Warhammer is a lot of fun, but keeps the complexity that can make Total War titles intimidating for new players.

Warhammer is an excellent turn-based strategy that takes the best of Total War and Warhammer, and melds them together wonderfully.

The level of Warhammer-specific detail that has been translated into Total War mechanics is remarkable, ranging from the way in which different types of units compact each other to the way it’s incredibly risky and costly to venture too far into Vampire or Chaos territory.

Total War: Warhammer seems like what the Total War franchise should have been all along, and after playing it I’m not sure I want to go back to the real-world Europe or Asia again anytime soon. Above all else, I don’t think I can stand losing the personality the battles have adopted. While it’s cool to see real historical figures and eras, games here just seem so much more alive. Total War: Warhammer has become the best of both of its worlds.

The gameplay is Total War at its finest, and the variety in factions and units allow for many ways to handle your short and long campaign objectives.
