On the one hand most of its battles boil down to a big scrum where you win if your archers kill the enemy monsters and the enemy archers before your first line breaks. On the other, big dragon go whooooooosh.
Movement on the campaign map is janky, i don't think the rules are super clear on movement ranges and are sometimes infuriating.
The vortex campaign is a bit underwhelming, pushing you to a very defensive playstyle towards the second half of it, which is incredibly boring, with almost nothing going on. Mortal Empires is better, but good lord is it a lot to take in, especially for a beginner. Most of my campaigns I eventually get swarmed by enemies on all sides and it's just non-stop chaos (ahah, get it, 'cause it's warhammer and there's chaos ahahaha).
I appreciate all the free dlc (Paradox step your freaking game up) but I hope my lizard(man) brain won't have me buy all the paid ones so that I may one day never even touch it beacuse my backlog is too big and I need to cut it down already.
All in all, warpstone/10
