Mordheim Video Game Announced

Mordheim-03Keeping up with all the Warhammer and Warhammer 40K-related video games coming out is almost as hard as keeping on top of the many Codexes and supplements.

Still, this one could be a lot of fun. Focus Home Interactive posted a few screenshots of their upcoming Mordheim video game, which “blends RPG elements, fast-paced tactical combat and intricate unit customization“. Nice…


#1 – The Mordheim Video Game

New mordheim video game

Focus Home Interactive and Rogue Factor today proudly unveil the first video game adaptation of Games Workshop‘s cult classic 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.

After the Comet of Sigmar crashed on Mordheim, the City of Damned turned into a terrifying battlefield where rival warbands fight fiercely for the control of key neighborhoods, looking for glory and fortune by acquiring the very valuable Wyrdstone fragments.

Pick your warbands from iconic Mordheim factions – Sisters of Sigmar, Possessed, Skaven, Mercenaries from the Empire, and many more – and lead your troops to battle. Recruit new units, equip them with enhanced gear. Evolve and customize your warband with the experience gained from each successful mission, transforming them into a terrifying force on the battlefield.

Devise the best strategy to annihilate your rivals. If you fail, some of your units might lose a limb… or worse. Keep in mind that in Mordheim: City of the Damned, a dead unit is lost forever! Consider the environment when formulating your battle strategy, exploiting the unique buildings, ruins or the layout of the streets. Deploy your troops carefully and anticipate the actions of your adversaries to set up ambushes! Organize ingenious battle plans where the talents of your units will be as important as your own luck during key moments of combat.

Loot items and weapons hidden in the ruins, or steal those of fallen opponents. Survive the dangers that abound in the City of the Damned and collect as many Wyrdstones as you can, but remain ever vigilant. Mordheim is one of the most treacherous places in the Warhammer world!

In these epic battles where fame and glory await, your strategy will definitely be your best ally! Visit the four corners of the City of the Damned to complete multiple missions in the solo campaign, or challenge other players in enthralling multiplayer modes.

Riches and infamy await you late 2014 in Mordheim: City of the Damned!

    Always a gamble when you take a beloved IP like this and try to translate it to a different format. Could be really good if well executed or really terrible.

    • Ruska

      My thoughts exactly. I’m not familiar with any of the parties making the game, so all we can do is home they stay true to the spirit of the game.

  • Razz

    I can see this going in a direction similar to the tactical combat and customization of the new XCOM games, but with more exploration during maps for loot.

  • Yggdrasil

    Mordheim was an awesome game, and it brings back fond memories of high school… I hope they’ll turn it into an awesome game ! And tactical-RPGs are just my kind of games anyway ;)

  • Blight

    They better nerf skavens with slings

    • Yggdrasil

      Ha ha, I loved my “slaves” with slings ! Good for fun uh ;)

    Fantastic news, I’ve been waiting for a Mordheim or Necromunda game for 14 years now.

    the Blood Bowl game “focus home” did was a 100% close transaction from the analog game into the digital world.
    But they needed quite some bigger updates to get the game going.
    Therefore the Confrontation game they messed up.
    But I dont knwo exactly if “Focus” was pure distributor or how much influence they have with the end product
