Today Chilled Mouse, Games Workshop and Rodeo Games launched their Warhammer Quest game via Steam, making it now available to play on PC, Mac and Linux systems.
Warhammer Quest has already launched on mobile devices back in 2013 and is based on the classic tabletop game, providing players with a mix of role-playing and strategy gameplay. This digital adaptation brings the beloved board game to a wider audience, allowing fans to experience the rich lore and tactical depth of the Warhammer universe in a new format.
Gameplay and Features
Warhammer Quest is currently offered at a 10% discount until January 14th, 2015 over on Steam where reviews of the game are providing a mixed bag of thoughts. Warhammer Quest is priced at £10.99 for the standard game and £19.99 for the deluxe version. The deluxe version includes additional content such as extra characters and missions, providing a more comprehensive experience for dedicated players.
The game features microtransactions that allow players to buy extra gold, although it seems that you can progress without the need to purchase gold, extra weapons, and characters if you would prefer. However, making a purchase can definitely make adventuring a little easier. This system allows players to tailor their experience based on their preferences and play style.
“Lead your group of brave adventurers through the perilous dungeons of the Warhammer World in the search for wealth and glory! Level up your party of heroes. Loot weapons, armour and mysterious artefacts from fallen enemies. Crush Orcs, Goblins, Trolls and more ferocious enemies!“
Community and Reception
The community’s reception of Warhammer Quest has been varied. Some players appreciate the faithful adaptation of the tabletop game and the strategic depth it offers. They enjoy the challenge of navigating through dungeons, managing resources, and making tactical decisions. The game’s art style and adherence to the Warhammer lore have also been praised, providing an immersive experience for fans of the franchise.
On the other hand, some players have expressed concerns about the game’s reliance on microtransactions and the balance of difficulty. While it is possible to progress without spending extra money, some feel that the game can become grindy and challenging without these purchases. Additionally, there have been mixed reviews regarding the game’s user interface and controls, with some players finding them less intuitive than expected.
Despite these criticisms, Warhammer Quest has carved out a niche for itself among strategy and role-playing enthusiasts. The game’s ability to capture the essence of the original board game while introducing new elements for the digital platform has been a significant draw.
In conclusion, Warhammer Quest offers a rich and engaging experience for fans of the Warhammer universe and strategy games alike. Its blend of role-playing elements, tactical gameplay, and faithful adaptation of the classic tabletop game make it a noteworthy addition to the digital gaming landscape.
