Ooof. Reading the reviews makes this game look like it’s not worth free.
However. Every time I open the research menu I see parts of my army locked behind a paywall. I can stomach an entire faction like Tau being DLC but the Chimera? or the Landraider? You gotta be @#$% me! Here is your spaghetti but the sauce and cheese cost extra! Get that outta my face!
Oh its just 1 DLC to complete your army. NO! its 3.
Reinforcement, Fortification and Assault. Nearly $6CAD each. I don’t mind that there are only 2 ways to win a game. Kill everyone else or quests. I can’t recommend a game that splits your army and puts part of it behind a pay way.What most game developers would a call an update Games Workshop calls Micro transaction.
Unfortunately, you often have this concept on Games Workshop Games. For example:
- Talisman - It’s free now, but you had to pay for the game before.
- Blood Bowl 2
- Total War Warhammer 3
- Warhammer: Age of Sigmar - Realms of Ruin
- Mordheim - City of the damend
- Warhammer Underworlds - Shadespire Edition - There are no DLCs to see, but I know, that you have to buy every other fraction, that isn’t in the base game.
In every single game I have listed, you have to buy new teams or characters via DLCs. Yes, those are normally complete teams and not one or two additional units for your fraction, like here with Gladius. But I see this behaviour in every other Games Workshop licensed game, so that it looks like GW is trying to force this behavior. This is just a feeling and I don’t have evidence for that, but it feels like that.
That being said: If you like 4X Games where the focus is at the fighting part, then this game might be for you. I have arount 60 hours in this game and it’s fun to play with friends.
Fuck GW. Yo ho!
