Review
RuneQuest: Warlords presents a commendable turn-based strategy experience set in the intricately detailed universe of Glorantha. Players step into the shoes of a warlord, mastering runes and deploying a mix of human and mythical troops to combat the forces of Chaos. The campaign, following Hahlgrim, offers not just battles but a narrative imbued with themes of heroism and treachery. While the game shines with its lore, strategic gameplay, and clean interface, it stumbles on a few fronts. The AI can be lackluster, and the game's limited variety in armies and scenarios may not appeal to those seeking dynamic gameplay. Overall, it is a decent entry point for fans of the franchise, albeit one that could use further expansion in its storytelling and variety.
Background information
The game has received mixed feedback; Softpedia rated it at 85, appreciating its tactical depth but craving for a richer narrative. Gamesurf, with a score of 75, lauded the UI and solid mechanics, while Riot Pixels rated it a 70, noting it fell short of expectations based on its potential. Multiplayer capabilities are available, but the campy AI might dissuade some players from heavily relying on solo play.
