Warhammer: Battle for Atluma

While the overall visuals aren't much to talk about, the cards themselves are depicted in loving detail. The production values are pretty abysmal, but this absorbing strategy title has hours of potential playtime packed in - more than worth checking out.

Warhammer: Battle for Atluma offers a very bare-bones experience. It adds very little to the established card game by way of visual flair and enhanced gameplay. Having said that, the game does retain the depth of physical card game. But there’s little here for those looking to get into the Warhammer universe, and even less for those who already own their perfect deck.

Battle for Atluma works best when you're engaged with another player, but it begs the question of just what you get out of the experience that you wouldn't get with a couple of starter WarCry decks. And it isn't much, due to tedious deck sorting and a detached façade that doesn't do the card game any favors. If you already play Warhammer WarCry, this game won't shed new light on the game or its setting, and if you don't, you're better off grabbing a physical deck and a buddy to play with.

Battle for Atluma deserves kudos for being such a meticulous translation of the card game. Unfortunately, there is little else to attract anyone other than the hard core fan base.
