Is Warhammer - Dark Omen still worth playing in 2026?
A real time tactics game from Mindscape in the Warhammer universe, Dark Omen has you manoeuvre regiments on 3D battlefields, where positioning, morale and terrain decide the outcome of clashes between the Empire and the undead. The tactical depth, the army persistence between missions and the gothic mood make it a remarkable wargame. The pad interface and sometimes muddled readability complicate the manoeuvres. A tactics reference for fans of Warhammer and of demanding unit strategy.
