Mordheim: City of the Damned
Mordheim: City of the Damned is the first video game adaptation of Games Workshop's cult classic tabletop game Mordheim. Set in the Warhammer World's decimated Empire city, Mordheim: City of the Damned is a turn-based tactical game where you lead warbands into bloody and lethal skirmishes. The game blends RPG elements, fast-paced tactical combat and intricate unit customization in a time wrought by chaos and rivalry where only the strongest survive.
What it feels like
A harsh, brutal atmosphere of decimation and bloodshed refuses to soften the brutality of warband warfare.
What it's about
Set in a decimated Warhammer Empire city wrought by chaos, evoking a grim, decayed fantasy world. Emphasis on lethal combat and a harsh environment where only the strongest survive drives the tone. Permadeath and the loss of beloved warband members underscore the human toll of constant skirmishes.
How it plays
Turn-based tactical combat on a grid is the core loop, defining how warbands engage in bloody skirmishes. Combat is explicitly turn-based, foundational to the tactical gameplay and Mordheim's tabletop heritage. Permadeath is a core mechanic highlighted in user tags, making warband losses permanent and raising stakes.
How it's structured
Players lead warbands through a campaign of sequential missions in a decimated city setting with progression. Online PvP and multiplayer modes pit warbands directly against other players in combat. Permadeath and procedural variation across campaigns encourage repeat playthroughs with fresh warbands.
