Necromunda: Underhive Wars

I've had this game for years, bought it full price when it first released on PlayStation and even picked it up years later to try it again on PC once i got around to building one and gotta say i don't hate this game in any way, i do however feel HUGE disappointment with this game for what it COULD have been and the state it got left in. I feel as though this is one of those games that deserve another try and if only it had gotten the love, and attention it deserved it truly could have been something to compete with Xcom, maybe even better than it in some ways. I love the theme, the atmosphere, the gang skills and customisation's that let it be molded to your playstyle and make's the gang feel like it is yours. Even enjoyed the combat and the objectives they came up with. Being able to steal other gangs resources or if things aren't going your way being able to pull out with anything you can get your hands on so you're still leaving with something (as long as you can make it to an extract without being taken out). Even with all the clunky AI moments that can happen there's a fun amount to it and if those got improvements who knows where this game would be at today. obviously with all the praise and dreams i do have for the game i don't recommend paying for it full price EVER because it is abandoned and you will have crashes and its not perfect in any way but it is fun and it won me over for what it is, if you enjoy games like Xcom, Mordheim or the atmosphere of Warhammer this games does wonderfully for scratching that itch but its not without a lot of issues. Thank you for reading my review and hope it helps on making your decision to play it or not!

Is it great? No.
Is it good? Yeah
Does it look good? Yepp
Does it sound good? Always.
This is another Games Workshop license game that could've been amazing but end up being good. There is a 15 part story mode and an Operations mode that you can repeat. Operations mode is where you have the most fun though as you get to create your own team and progress it through an operation; a series of battles and have choices to improve them and gear up.
The AI of the enemies could've used some more time in the over though as they sometimes make sound decisions that completely screw you over, but other times get stuck on terrain or mistake verticality and end up using a reaction skill instead of actually participating.
Did I have fun? Sure did, but after playing though the story twice and the operations on different difficulties with each of the 5 houses I've done all there is (aside from steam achievements).
However, I feel like games such as X COM did a better job at making a campaign out of it and systems surrounding it. This one is keeping close to the board game which both assists and hinders it.

As a $2 game? Yes, I recommend. Don't pay full price, it's not worth it.

This is a half-finished Necromunda version of Mordheim: City of the Damned for PC. I think it's fun, but I paid $2 for it (slightly more with DLC). Both this and the mordheim game don't really follow their tabletop versions very well, but the games are fun in their own right.

Graphics wise, it's built for promo material, so graphics are nice but repetitive. There's enough to create the perception of more in a short clip. Maps are pretty, but are fixed, so prepare to do the same map over and over, rather than random terrain maps. All the missions are grab that crate and haul it to extraction.

They also made some rather annoying design choices for gangs:
-Fighters have classes which restrict their weapons and tactical access. It makes the game feel smaller.
-Male and female versions of the gangs. So while I'm all for representation, they removed the flavor of certain gangs and didn't replace it with anything, so all the gangs kinda look the same. There's very limited appearance options for each fighter, but hey, male and female...
-Less lethal gameplay: like several hundred hit points instead of unforgiving injury dice - I have to just keep swinging at you to kill you in melee. My plasma never overheats. They added damage "types" and now weapons like plasma guns and lascannons are just "energy damage type" and you can survive being shot by them. Oh, and they added "health dispensers" everywhere, so now if you don't kill them, they'll run to a health dispenser and heal up...

Decent game. Not as good a Mordheim but has a decent single player tutorial. Maps take some getting used to and the UI is a little clunky but the game is still fun. Don't pay full price but definitely worth the discounted price.

I didn't have any of the issues others are complaining of. I love this game. It's fun, challenging, satisfying and nice to look at. It ticks every box IMO. This game is one of those instances where you should not pay attention to the reviews. If you are a fan of Turn-based strategy and you liked Mordheim: CotD, you will enjoy this game, as I have. Decent fun...

So lets get this out of the way.
Cons: AI is trash
The DLCs do not really add unique things and are basically skins

So if we ignore the AI thing, which is pretty bad won't lie. The game looks great, the cutscenes look amazing and fit in well, and the game can be fun. I wish they had included modding support, as it would push it even further.

Overall, it has a lot of flaws, but playing through the story was pretty fun. If you can get it on sale, I recommend grabbing it.

AI path finding is not up to the task , and criticals are roll per projectile ( and not per shot ) , past those points everything is great , lvl design , gfx , sound , lot of details that did not betray wh40k ( 100% heresy free ). to be played on multi or solo to chill or learn .
