Mordheim: City of the Damned turns Games Workshop’s tabletop setting into a turn-based tactical game. In the shattered city of Mordheim, rival warbands fight over neighborhoods and Wyrdstone, valuable fragments that motivate dangerous expeditions. You can command the Sisters of Sigmar, the Cult of the Possessed, Skaven, or Empire mercenaries, giving each campaign a choice of faction and a distinct warband to shape.
Battles reward careful positioning as well as planning: buildings, ruins, and street layouts can influence how troops move and where an ambush might succeed. Unit talents and luck both matter in combat, while a defeat can leave a fighter maimed or dead. Death is permanent for that unit, so each skirmish carries consequences beyond the immediate fight. After successful missions, experience helps develop your warband; recruiting troops, improving their equipment, and spending Wyrdstone on items add further choices between battles.
The game offers a solo campaign with multiple missions across the city, alongside multiplayer head-to-head skirmishes against other players’ warbands. Its appeal lies in shaping a fragile roster, then testing your plans in a dangerous, turn-based battlefield.
