My introductory game to the Warhammer World. The game is quite unique even with today's releases, as its campaign is made of scenarios—with a lethal finality on the loss of units.

I love the campaign of this game. The battles are all meaningful, the dialogues are well written and the story is interesting and immersive. Its almost like reading a good story book.

A worthy successor to Warcraft: Shadow of the Horned Rat, somewhat more complicated due to the undead nature of the enemies and that almost all of its units caused fear, a game that I would like to enjoy again

Oh god. I remember this game and I recently wanted to replay it. I don’t know why, but I remember it having “pretty good” german voiceovers. My favorite thing of all time about it, is the fact that the german pc gaming magazine “GameStar” gave it an award for ‘extraordinary realism’ because terrain height and so on was an important factor in the battles. Bold choice for a warhammer fantasy game.

Warhammer: Dark Omen was a special Place in My Heart. it was so good and so hard at the same time back then so many Memories the campaign was well written and games today don't have the same atmosphere as this one
If you've never heard of warhammer, Dark omen brings you into the world and shows you what to expect. It doesn't tell you it shows you, and the first time you're wizard explodes will leave a lasting impression

I remember being so hooked on this game, that when my alloted PC time was over I recreated the missions using Lego, humming the background music and mimicing the sound effects. I couple of years ago I managed to make my copy run on a modern system after some wrangling, and I'd say it still holds up, 3D terrain with character sprites is a really good combo, and even the interface while clunky, is still a massive improvement over SotHR. Trully a Good Old Game that could use some love in the "running it on modern hardware" department.

A superb blend of micro and macro strategy, that has never been bettered. There's Win10/11 fixes and even new mod campaigns, maps and multiplayer on the Dark Omem forum.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
