Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat

Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat

Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat offers over 25 different troop types, 20 spells and nine traits for each regiment: movement, weapon skill, ballistic ability, strength, toughness, wounds, initiative, attack and leadership ability. To save campaign progress, players must have a memory card with at least one free block. Battles consist of two phases: Deployment and real-time combat. In the deployment phase, you can deploy your regiments in an area marked by white flags. You rotate them to face specific enemies and issue orders to attack, move (including setting waypoints and patrol loops) or simply hold position. In combat, you attack the enemy, use spells (if available) or fire ranged weapons such as arrows or catapults. Of course, line of sight and terrain will affect how successful your attacks are, and the emotional state (fear, hate or frenzy) and experience of your troops also play an important role. There are also various magical items on each battlefield that can help you in future battles.
