Unleash hell in the Warhammer World

Drawing on the rich inspiration provided by Games Workshop's legendary Warhammer Fantasy universe, Dark Omen is a fine example of the real-time strategy genre that mixes a gripping storyline with deep, tactical gameplay. Similar in style to Command and Conquer, the Total War series or GW's own Dawn of War, Dark Omen offers armchair generals the opportunity to face off against some of the Warhammer World's deadliest races, including the barbaric Orcs and the vengeful Undead, in a lengthy single player campaign. Players have access to a wide variety of units, including infantry, cavalry, artillery and magical support and all must be managed strategically in order to overcome your deadly foes. Battles are tough, with impressive AI opponents which will really test your tactics, while the branching campaign forces you to think about the repercussions of your decisions and adds greatly to the replay value. Graphically, the Warhammer World is well represented with lush and highly detailed environments, and characterful units, heroes and villains. The user interface is slick and intuitive, with units readily accessible and orders easily given. The multi-player option is a fantastic addition to the game, and it is immensely satisfying taking on a human opponent to test your skills. There are a few minor niggles with Dark Omen, such as your own units' limited intelligence, but these do not get in the way of what is a superb and action-packed strategy game that does the Warhammer World proud.

Units! In formation!

When you think of Warhammer, your mind goes to marines and space and sci fi adventures. But this little gem is pure fantasy. Hello to elves, warlocks, undead and lots of other otherwordly races in this game (much like my favorite, Heroes of Might and Magic). This game is the sequel to Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat, and surpasses it hugely in terms of graphics and visuals. The game is excellent in tactics and strategy and will be a treat for all strategy fans out there, especially those with a sweet tooth for the supernatural. The combat system is also very nicely made and organized. The battles are not repetitive and they are pretty tough - the game won't go easy on you. This game is all that a great strategy game should be - exciting, challenging and fun. With a pinch of fantasy. Just the way I like my games. For another fantastic Warhammer gatme, try Chaos Gate.

Story

The dialogue script was written by Stephen Marley.

The game's introduction shows the resurrection of an evil undead King in lands far to the South of the Empire. Meanwhile, to the North, the player (as mercenary commander Morgan Bernhardt, the main character from Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat) is defending a small trading post from attack by goblins. The army is soon recalled to Altdorf where they are told that Orcs are invading the Empire from the South.

After fighting a number of battles against the orcs, it becomes clear that something is making them flee into the Empire. The player returns to Altdorf to make his report, and is assigned to a series of expeditions to fight the imminent undead threat. These campaigns consist of several battles each, and there are a number of occasions where the player is required to choose between alternative paths, with consequences in the battles ahead.

Eventually, after defeating undead incursions in Kislev, Bretonnia and within the Empire itself, the location of the Undead king is discovered and the final battle is pitched. Throughout the game, the player character Bernhardt changes from a mercenary who only cares about money to a hero willing to lay down his life to save others. Warhammer Dark Omen for PC.
