Just picked up the ultimate edition for 15$ WHAT A STEAL
The characters in the campaign were great. I love the stormcallers onr their crusade and the suprise attack from the nighthunt played out like a horde of ghosts. The tszeech were wild and fanatic with really wierd split personality witch dealing with curses. The orrucks causing mischief was a great touch. The campaign missions are pretty tough even for people that play a lot of rts. Despite the novel control system of the locked combat paper rock scissors as the key novelty, not being my favorite. I still thought it's fun overall. The conquests I think were also novel as explained by tom, but it's really hard to learn from them. I feel like you kind of just end up spamming ranged units with a couple of the other paper and rock types mostly as all the races for easy mode. I agree with him, you beat really big enemies with little things. The fact that over 2/3rds of people stop in the first 3 missions of the campaign and miss out on all the characters, abilities, and mechnics sucks. I think most people didn't even really experience the game that did get it.
I agree with you there; I think the game takes a while to truly show off some of its better parts. Hopefully, in time, it builds a bit of an audience back up, and it would be great to see at least one additional faction join the game if possible.
But, in the meantime, I'm glad you liked it too. :)
Liked and subbed ! Finally a good review !!! The Multiplayer is awesome and the graphics are sooo good. A lot of love went into the game...
Hey! Thanks for watching. 😊 Totally agree - you can see how much the devs cared about this game and it shows.
Man I didn’t see any coverage for this game at release just picked it up today and enjoying it so much
Really fun game, could use a bigger player base.
Glad you think so too. 😊 I think they just need another price drop and some new game modes and the player numbers would go up. 👍🏻
Honestly it would be nice to atleast being able to possess as the soldiers to actually feel
Like your fighting in the field like Ultimate epic battle simulator
I think the reason why it’s not that big AOS is because the lack of factions, I had the same problem with Dawn of war 3 where the gameplay was fun but their wasn’t replay ability for I mostly pick the faction I liked the most (Orks) if they added an few more factions I think the replay ability would increased, even adding some game modes like castle defence or conquests. It just lacks reason to play it while warhammer 3 has immensely big faction groups & the replay ability comes mostly of creating armies with new tactics.
Really good point and I love the idea of new game modes - I think that would certainly show off the units and abilities in a better light and, as you say, just add a bit more variety to the game.
I cant wait to jump in! Wont buy digital though so I have a painful wait for the physical release 😂
They’ll also be some great DLC by then, so lots of fun to be had. 😄
@TabletopTom The physical versions come with the DLC heroes bundled in! One of them being Yndrasta. As a Stormcast player in AoS, I'm pretty dam excited to check her out 😁
Great Game ! I love it. You can check my channel, I have competetive games uploaded on my channel ! Why do you want a physical copy ? :) Start to play right now?
nice review thanks
Thanks! Really appreciate that. 😊
only thing holding me back from buying the game is the very limited choices in factions
I would say there would be more coming but it’s hard to say given the low sales of the game. But fingers crossed 🤞🏻
Brought this game by accident on ps store since I thought it was “Chaos Gate” DLC… I really hope this game was worth the mistake 😩
Hey it is worth for 30$ now ?
I think so - it might get a little cheaper later in the year but I can’t see it getting much below $30
@@TabletopTom can you tell your opinion about game now ? I'm worried about same same every map play , just one building upgrade? No leveling units or hero , you knows.. just no way to feel you are evolving between missions. Would you buy this game again today? I'm thinking about this game Vs dungeons 4
@@TabletopTom right now on my Xbox series X this game is being sold for $22 the ultimate addition surely that is worth it?
It's 2€ on kinguin
$14.99 ultimate edition on Playstation store
Things that made me refund the game a few multi and a couple of single missions later:
- As you said, units not reacting to being attacked, absolutely BS, as the enemy AI DOES react, so the game has the function even so that units by default are in "Engage" stance which literally says they will attack back if being attacked ffs...
- Locked melee combat, absolutely horrible. You want to get a specific unit to charge some artillery or attack a specific unit? NOPE, sorry you got half a screen distance too close to some other unit so you arent moving or doing anything and you are stuck there...
- The biggest thing: Abilities costing resources.... I can't even imagine, how high and colossaly braindead you have to be to think that this is a good idea, actually none. God forbid you get behind on a match and want to turn the tide of battle, sorry you dont have enough gold to get those archers shooting, BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME.
- Horrendous tutorial: The game has some different blockades, which ahve mission objectives behind them, and yet it just doesnt tell you wtf you are supposed to do with them. It tells you you can charge through SOME, but not all of them, so you are just left wondering wtf to do. It tells you what 1 unit and 1 building does, but once you get all the upgrade variables and more units, you do not have time to even read wtf they do and how you are supposed to use them because in every mission, the enemy has everything and you are swarmed from the first second..
Absolute dogshit designed game, keep it in the trash where it belongs.
I think the main character, Sigrun, in Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin could have been designed to appeal to a broader audience. Featuring a female protagonist with an extremely square jaw and shaved head, who immediately puts down her male colleagues in the first cutscene, Frontier likely alienated a non-trivial percentage of players. While diversity and inclusion are important, relying on a common and often disliked trope can turn off potential sales. If maintaining sales was critical to prevent layoffs, choosing a protagonist that less than 1% of people can relate to and that many actively dislike might not have been the best strategy. Promoting a trope under the guise of diversity can end up fostering exclusion and homogeneity instead. We've all seen this character before, from Captain Marvel to Teela to She-Hulk to michael burnham and hundreds of others at this point.
The automatic bans given out whenever people point this out don't help their case either-you can't just put your fingers in your ears and pretend that you're not responsible for the failure. Better market research beforehand, rather than being entirely driven by personal politics, could have prevented this. If I knew the studio's jobs were on the line while making this game, I would have taken much greater care to ensure every decision would help sales instead of hamper them. The only selfish thought you should have had was how to make the most money in both the short-term and the long-term-nothing else. The employees were depending on that, and they let them down. You need to stop your writers and designers from doing stuff like this.
Do you know what is the stupidest thing in the world? Politics.
Due to politics, this game is not available for sale in my region. But only on Steam. Why are they shooting themselves in the foot? They dont need more money?
In the same time in Epic Games Store, this game is sold without problems, and has a very reasonable regional price for us (about $20 at the exchange rate), and there was also a 45% discount for the winter sale.
I really want to buy this game legally, support the developers and Warhammer Age of Sigmar, but only on Steam, EGS is untrusted platform!
P.S: We have no problems with replenishing our Steam wallet and can buy most games, but except for those whose publishers wanted to play dirty politics and specifically prohibited the sale. So there is no way for Total War and Realms of Ruin, but Darktide, Necromunda, Boltgun, Rogue Trader etc - no problem!
Great comment! The feeling is mutual. Stay safe Vasily, god bless!
