Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin Reviews
I consider this new installment of Warhammer to be an invitation to newcomers, not only to the franchise, but also to the genre. Frontier manages to bring players into the universe in each battle with outstanding art that makes the gameplay pale and does not favor the scarce variety of factions and missions due to its own qualities.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin has great graphics, character modelling, voice acting and environment design, but it fails in one very important area: Gameplay. Its lack of the most basic features of RTSs and its imitation of the MOBA genre turn it into a game that cannot be easily recommended to fans of the genre.

Despite these criticisms, Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin gets the fundamentals right, and provides a highly effective and engaging streamlined RTS that feels like it a genuine effort to modernise the classic approach to the genre. The MOBA-like battle maps and focus on constantly-moving aggression might put those players off who enjoy a more defensive tactics, and the whole thing will be over way too early if you’re not prepared to get involved in the multiplayer, but no one can deny that this is a flashy and exciting skirmish-level Warhammer game that sits nicely within the broader library of grand strategy, RPG, and action titles that use the license these days.
Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realm of Ruin has great ideas. It simply fumbles in the execution. While free from any bugs (at least in my time with the game) or major unforgivable flaws, it simply fails to hold your attention, offering the idea of cool mechanics without ever really delivering.
A good RTS with four different factions with distinct playstyles. If you want a taste of the Warhammer world, this may be a good place to start, though watch out for frantic combat and demanding action!
