Worth buying? What 300 Steam reviews say.Worth buying? Here’s what 300 Steam reviews actually say.
A huge, endlessly replayable fantasy strategy game with distinct factions and spectacular battles. Skip it if you hate DLC-gated content, or if you're bothered by buggy patches and weak AI.
Great for
Warhammer fans and strategy players who want huge replayability, mods and unique factions, ideally bought on sale
Main risk
Most factions and lords are paywalled behind DLC and older games, and updates often break the game
157 recent reviews
Many recent negative reviews blame the latest Lords of the End Times update/DLC for hard crashes, soft-locks, untriggered final battles and broken AI. Older complaints focus mainly on DLC cost.

“Every faction feels like it’s playing a slightly different game. Not fake asymmetry where one faction gets +10% archers and another gets +10% taxes. Actual identity.”

“The AI basically shares map awareness with the other factions you are at war with when they have no diplomatic ties at all.”

“Game is un-launchable after update. With a fresh install, verified files, and vanilla game with no mods the game is stuck in a reboot phase.”
