Warhammer Quest 2: The End Times Review

The end of the world is not a beautiful experience but when it involves killing countless fantasy creatures with a party of badass characters, it starts to become more enjoyable. Welcome to Warhammer Quest 2: The End Times, a mobile tactical turn-based role-playing game that challenges you to lead, command and master the dangerous world that is falling apart around you.

The main chunk of the gameplay within the title is found during the dungeons and environments that you explore and the battles that unfold. As you take on missions and enter the dangers that await, you will sooner or later encounter numerous foes that want you dead. How you deal with them is up to you; full tactical freedom ensures that even though you will be outnumbered, you will never be on the back foot.

Charging in head first is of course a sure-fire way to ensure you die faster than you entered. Where Warhammer Quest 2: The End Times expands the tactical combat is in how you prepare for each fight. Earning experience to level up your heroes, packing items and equipment to be up for the challenge. After all, what good is a warrior without the right sword for the job? It is not all swords though as you will be able to use magic, arrows, maces, and all manner of weapons and equipment. In fact if it is within the Warhammer universe you can bet that it is in here somewhere.

Being on mobile devices, controlling the title is a rather accessible tasks requiring only swipes and taps to explore the whole product.

The initial purchase of the title gives you a full campaign to explore with no restrictions, which offers plenty of content to experience.
