What players say

Players praise this Warhammer 30K reskin of Talisman for its team-based faction play and lore integration, calling it a polished version of the original. However, a few warn that the AI is unbeatable due to no difficulty settings, predetermined dice, and a restrictive autosave, making learning and recovery difficult.
