Necromunda: Underhive Wars

Mordheim was the game that taught me that Reviews are NEVER to be completely trusted. I absolutely love that game. Likewise, I utterly adore this one. Necromunda is a bit of a Mordheim v1.5. If you liked Mordheim, you'll love this one.
For the uninitiated, this is a Turn Based Strategy meets Front Office Sports Manager. I also look at it more as a board game simulator than video game. People like to use the word Janky, but I dunno, I really don't experience much Jank. Both games are high quality products, quite possibly my favorite in the entirety of Warhammer. The depth is absurd, and the customization endless.
This title rewards patience, thoughtfulness and intelligence. It can get frustrating REAL quick if you aren't tuned in.

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.

Don't listen to the whiners on here - if you love the tabletop game and the WH40k setting in general you will enjoy yourself with this.
I have only two gripes -
1) the AI is not the best. Not as bad as some on here make out, but certainly not good or much of a challenge.
2) There is currently no way to play a local private ongoing campaign. It's either play against the AI, or play against other people you don't know - a choice between two extremes. As a casual player, I would like an option to just play against friends and family in a private campaign where gangs still make progress - at the moment the only option to play privately against friends only is to play a game where nothing counts and no progress is recorded.
Other than that a great game. If the developers made point 2 above an option, I would be shouting about this game from the rooftops.

If you don't play miniature tabletop games you may not enjoy this. If you enjoy Necromunda, you will probably enjoy this.
Not quite as deep as the tabletop but it's a fun game with plenty of customization and tactics. Don't listen to the whiners on here - if you love the tabletop game and the WH40k setting in general you will enjoy yourself with this. The AI needs some work but it's still fun. Really enjoyed it, the customization of each individual gang member is awesome and the game-play is pretty fun too.

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...

Simple dumb fun for simple dumb strategy fans -
Another board game conversion from the box of plastic to the plastic desktop game, Necromunda has absolutely been screaming for a videogame ever since the original 90's dice and miniatures box set...
!!...Which you should immediately ignore as this has very little to do with the source material.!!!
This is a turn based strategy where your weird team of aggressively British mutants with mohawk haircuts battle across small arenas for boxes of scrap, radioactive barrels and plant spores. Huge movement allowances (your fighters can often cross almost the entire map in a single turn), a variety of weapons and skills and a persistent team to manage keep this fresh for a good while, and having a four-way matchup with all the gangs in the zone fighting over the same tiny patch of ground can be incredibly brutal and funny.
It's sadly let down by a few balance issues, dumb AI and a very restrictive campaign - it is clear the single player component was designed as a tutorial for the multiplayer section - and I'm not sure the lobbies will be very full right now with players, since this game has had very few updates recently, with some glaring omissions of promised features (good luck finding any cybernetics to fix your crippled fighters) - all campaigns will inevitably lead to gangs of mangled, ugly football hooligans fighting over the same stuff they always do.
I'm recommending this because it has given me a lot of fun figuring it out and seeing all the dumb stuff that happens but it's honestly far short of what it could have been.
