Necromunda: Underhive Wars

Splattercat did a 30 min video of it yesterday and said it seemed to have improved greatly over Mordheim (which is essentially the same game, just WHFB-based, although I've never played it due to the shitty reviews).

I still won't be buying it until it is $5 or so (if ever), but maybe someone else is desperate for a new WH fix.

I loved Mordheim actually, though I know I am not in the majority on that. If this is just a reskin of that I am all in on it.

This is worse than Mordheim in almost every way, I wish that it was just a re-skin because even though that had issues it was pretty stable and felt polished. Played a few missions and refunded this one, it really feels like it's at an early early-release state. game crashes, AI is just terrible, interface is pretty bad.

Bugs galore at the moment. Story Mode crashes a lot and the campaign mode has save corruption issues that cause permanent recurring crashes. Game itself is fun, particularly if you liked Mordheim. AI is weak, but thats not as big an issue in campaign mode where you can play against teams that outclass you. Biggest issue I see with the AI is that it likes to pick on weaker characters, which can be exploited heavily. Examples: Have a deliberately weaker character tucked away in back and the AI will send dudes flying right through your death grinder to get at them. Also, in multiple faction operations where your crew has the edge, the weaker factions will beat the fuck out of each other instead of ganging up on you.

Verdict: Fun game while it works, but probably wait two weeks for some patches.
