How it feels
A brooding, deliberate medieval-fantasy war game where every battle feels weighty and consequential, as you carefully maneuver vulnerable troops across a dark and hostile world.

About
This sequel to Warhammer: Shadow Of The Horned Rat is an overhead role playing game in which you play Morgan Bernhardt. The game consists of a series of battles where you view the battle from overhead via a rotatable view. You go through the game managing your army, deciding whether to fight in optional battles, and advancing through a deep and engrossing storyline via a series of conversations played out by talking portraits.
What players say
A slow-paced fantasy battle-tactics game where regiments shove and clash with real sense of weight, but the PS1 port's single speed and one-order-at-a-time controls make it feel clunky and unforgiving. Contemporary critics panned it, yet fans who push through find a rewarding, story-driven strategy gem.
