So here’s another game I didn’t know was in the works. I know I’ve been gone for a couple months but I’m starting to feel like I just woke up from a 20-year coma. The game is Warhammer Underworlds which is apparently the full title of a tabletop game I simply knew as Shadespire all this time. It’s coming to Early Access in January and, holy crap, does it look amazing.
According to BGG, Warhammer Underworlds is a tactical arena combat game where two players try to bash in each other’s heads. They do this with characters that have customizable decks and dice and, well, it sounds pretty fantastic. It’s not something I’d be able to play on the tabletop, but I’m chomping at the bit to play it on my laptop.
Checking out the screenshots and trailer, it appears the digital version will be as close to playing it on your tabletop as is currently possible. Look at those graphics! The 3D minis pop out of the screen and look incredible.
Warhammer Underworlds: Online offers high-stakes, turn-based strategy that pits mighty warbands against one another in an eternal battle for Glory in the realms of the Age of Sigmar. The streamlined fighter count of Warhammer Underworlds: Online makes it both easy to grasp and quick to play, while its dice-and-cards mechanics offer boundless strategic depth. Choose a warband, build your power and objective decks, roll the dice and carve a path to victory.
