    Warhammer Quest, while being an excellent port of a classic board game, is actually an amazing dungeon crawler on iOS, no matter what your experience with the source material. You owe it to yourself to check out this excellent hack and slash experience.

    Similar in style to Rodeo’s previously-released Hunters series, Warhammer Quest offers outstanding visuals, challenging battles, and deep strategic gameplay.

    Warhammer Quest ($4.99, Universal) is such a deluxe experience with so much to go through making it a worthwhile addition to the iOS platform, as well as your personal catalog.

    A faithful and enjoyable translation of the beloved tabletop game. Though the mutliplayer mode may be absent, the spirit of Warhammer Quest is alive and kicking.

    Put simply, this is an excellent mobile translation of a tabletop experience – but random design elements in the source material hold it back.

    If only the game mechanics were as clearly laid out as the business model.

    It could be more challenging and have a bit more variety, but I spent like $6 on the game so who is complaining. I hope they come out with more DLC. Sure they charge for new classes, but it's like 3 bucks. Who cares    … Expand

    Despite my score, WHQ is not an average game. It's a great game held back by too many issues. The game does an extremely poor job ofDespite my score, WHQ is not an average game. It's a great game held back by too many issues. The game does an extremely poor job of explaining its mechanics and what various items mean. Even the journal (in-game manual) is poorly written, and many useful pieces of information are nowhere to be found. Determining tactics is hard when the game gives no indication of the odds for your attack either. Then there's the technical issues including spelling mistakes, items don't highlight when selected, and the game's already frozen-up on me a few times.

    It's a shame because there's a lot to like here. The game looks great. Rotating to access your inventory is a great idea on an iPhone (even if annoying on an iPad). I like the way flavor text pops up for the random events (even if tiny on an iPhone). It's universal with cloud saves. And what I have been able to figure out of the core game is a lot of fun. There's a lot of items with a lot to do, and the game loves to kick you when you're down which helps keep it interesting.

    Also, I have no issue with the IAP which is mainly an expansion and extra characters (extra gold is pointless when you can lose it to random encounters). There are far worse issues with WHQ which is disappointing. A little more work here and there could have made this a five-star game.    … Expand

    Yet another microtransact-to-win ploy made by some neverheards who god know how got the (at least until recewntly) notoriously hard licenseYet another microtransact-to-win ploy made by some neverheards who god know how got the (at least until recewntly) notoriously hard license to get. There was no need to put this game on steam atleast not at its current price as devs couldve just put this thing on facebook right next to farmwille and CCS.
    Areas are boring, p2w is mashed right in your face and graphics, animation and enemy tracking are like from some over the weekend TGF contest. Journal is poorly written and getting info on certain spells for example is a mess.

    Just another try to ride on the hearts of old school players and WH fans, yet another sign that GW is dying for good. We can only hope Mordheim game will be worthy of its name.    … Expand

    PLEASE NOTE: most of the reviews are from the original release many years ago, before microtransactions were implemented.

    Would of given    PLEASE NOTE: most of the reviews are from the original release many years ago, before microtransactions were implemented.

    Would of given the game an 8 or 9 as it is. (would of been 10 if you could actually see the dice rolls)

    Though the game gets a 1, why? The microtransactions. The game is a "dungeon crawl" and get gold and loot. Most of the characters are paid DLC. Most of the loot you get is for those DLC characters. They are very expensive to buy INDIVIDUALLY. The gold rewards are dropped at a dismal rate. So there is a "gold store" where you buy gold with real money to speed things up. Yes, this is like a facebook game, hidden in a pretty package. I'm surprised they didn't add a "energy" system to boot.

    At the end of the day, if you want the whole experience with this game, you are going to spend a lot of money to unlock everything (around US$50) and then grind it out to get gold or spend more real money to progress.

    It is a horrible system, and anyone defending it deserves to be eaten alive by rats.    … Expand
