  1. The production values are pretty abysmal, but this absorbing strategy title has hours of potential playtime packed in – more than worth checking out.

    A very bare-bones experience. It adds very little to the established card game by way of visual flair and enhanced gameplay. Having said that, the game does retain the depth of physical card game.
  3. Battle of Atluma gets the WarCry card-game mechanics down cold. Unfortunately, the chill permeates every aspect of the presentation.
  4. A game system without a compelling game. You've got to love the smooth, easy-to-play combat, and at least appreciate the modes of play and the attempt to replicate card game realities like buying booster packs and unique cards to build killer custom decks. But there just isn't enough depth or Warhammer personality here to hold your interest for long.
  5. Battle for Atluma is a good package for any lover of the card game, but it doesn't offer anything special to draw outsiders into the experience.
  6. The only thing worse than playing Warhammer: Battle for Atluma would be having paid to play it. Numerous issues including presentation, short length, and rather complex gameplay mechanics make it hard to recommend this game.
  7. 40
    Deserves kudos for being such a meticulous translation of the card game. Unfortunately, there is little else to attract anyone other than the hard core fan base.
  8. 40
    Little more than a generic game with little to no flavor of its own. Unless you're a diehard Warhammer fan, Battle for Atluma doesn't have much to offer.

    I'm a fan of card games and I don't mind strict translations with with little to no added visual flair, but this game lacks two very important features to any game system conversion of a card game in my mind: 1) the ability to save in the middle of a match (they are not fast) 2) the ability to save multiple decks (often you'll want a different deck depending on what type of opponent you're facing). I hate to say it, but I can't recommend this game even to lovers of the real card game. Full Review »

    This game holds to the tabel top perfectly. If you give the card game a chance you'll see how indepth it really is. I can't recommend this enough. Full Review »

    I love the way this game plays. I have played WarCry the card game, and this game plays just like the card game. The controls are fluid and the graphics are superb. There are many features include multiplayer battles, card trading, card purchacing, single player battles, and deck creation. If you like Warhammer, I highly recommend this game. Full Review »
