Many fierce battles still rage across the Old World. Portions of the defeated Chaos armies have retreated to the distant Northern Wastes, while others have fallen to hostile groups. Among these tribes, new Champions rise up in an effort to reunite the Chaos forces, yet eventually all fail. None can match the power of their fallen leader, Asavar Kul. The united Empire and High Elf forces hunt the Chaos hordes from the Empire territories, still alert because danger lurks around them in the form of smaller enemy warbands that loot the settlements of the border lands. Now, four fully playable powerful armies - Empire, Chaos, Skaven and High Elves - as well as additional controllable races (Orcs, Dwarfs, Vampires, and Goblins), clash amidst breathtaking scenery in an epic battle for land and power.

    The units in the game are very detailed and unlike a lot of strategy games they look really good when the camera is zoomed in all of the way. Furthermore the game provides an excellent unit editor that really lets you customize the look of your armies.

    Likely to be appreciated by the Warhammer fanatics amongst you or Total War fans looking for a fantasy-based spin.

    Even though a few aspects of Warhammer: Mark of Chaos aren't all that they could be, it nicely distills all of the best characteristics of the tabletop game. It's as close as you're going to get to the real thing without spending a fortune on miniatures.

    Only hardcore fans of Warhammer need really apply: there are quite simply too many other RTS games out there which are far better, many of which beat Mark Of Chaos at its own game without even intending to.

    It's a rather chaotic mix of excellent gameplay and flawed finishing, but as the beginning of what should be a continuing series of RTS games, it's by no means a bad start.
  6. Boomtown

    There are minor problems, such as lackluster cut scenes that fail to live up to the opening cinematic and a loot collection system that sometimes forces you to choose between holding the line and making a quick dash for cash, but if you're prepared to overlook these then the game should make a worthy addition to your collection.

    Mark of Chaos bridges a gap between tabletop and PC gaming, but will leave both sides less than impressed.

    I hope they make an expansion pack for this one because I enjoyed it quite a bit. The writing is superb along with the voice acting. After a I hope they make an expansion pack for this one because I enjoyed it quite a bit. The writing is superb along with the voice acting. After a few patches, they put in flanking and charging feedback and that really made the tactics a lot more obvious. If Namco keeps supporting the game with patches, it will keep getting better and better.… Expand

    Good concept, haste with launching, little attention to community. Up to patch 1.6 it's rather like beta. Would you believe they are Good concept, haste with launching, little attention to community. Up to patch 1.6 it's rather like beta. Would you believe they are going to include friendly fire only with the patch 1.7? It's would be quite another game after that, won't it? In spite of promising concept a not better semblance of TotalWar.… Expand

    Good concept, however severely let down by the loading times between battles, which renders the game unplayable.

    A beautiful concept left pitifully incomplete. Brace yourself for the load times. A mission will last 20 minutes, and loading takes 3 minutes A beautiful concept left pitifully incomplete. Brace yourself for the load times. A mission will last 20 minutes, and loading takes 3 minutes in, 3 minutes out... you end up spending half your time waiting. there are actually TWO load screens, in succession. One was just not enough to convey the struggle of loading that this game has. You can only play it in short bursts before you realize you're not playing the game on a commodore 64 and it is not 1986, and this game should not be taking so long!… Expand

    This game is nothing like warhammer. It's basicly a warcraft clone click fest... I feel like crying...
