Evolution of Warhammer Games [1991-2023]

[@TheMienaiChikara]

So many Warhammer games, yet few remain remarkables

[@vermilion7777]

Chaos Gate 98 for the win!

[@LOCATION_REDACTED]

Absolutely low effort on their part.

[@Alroofador]

Hi, I was the Producer of the '92 Space Crusade. I'm glad that it's sometimes featured on KZbin. I wish I still had the actual board game I was originally given by Games Workshop at the time to design the actual video game!

[@VintageSlates]

I grew up with it and the board game, cheers 👍

[@shahrulrdy6843]

cool

[@bladewatcher9463]

Wow! It was one of my fav game on the Amiga! 2 questions that never let me rest: - Is the game balanced for 1 player? (you draw "event card" every turn, so it always applied to that single player) - Can a gretchin shoot with 2/2? I've never saw it, only 2/1 was the max.

[@samuelrichardson1564]

Appreciate your work, I played the heck out of that game on the C64!

[@Alroofador]

@@bladewatcher9463 Hi, I'm glad you liked. I'd love to be able to answer your questions but after 40 years and numerous games later my memory isn't good enough to remember that detail. I think I stuck to the board game rules if that helps.

[@dennisvanderpool4459]

Thanks for making the video 😊 What about the following games? * Warhammer Online (2008) * Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide (2015) * Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters (2022) * Total War: Warhammer III (2022)

[@thewitch-king511]

Battlefleet Gothic: Leviathan (Android, iOS / 2016) Warhammer Underworlds - Shadespire Edition (PC / 2020) Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin (PC / 2023)

[@darksapphire6829]

Considering he showed warhammer 1-2 on what seems to be minimum settings, his computer probably blew up trying warhammer 3.

[@NonCaffinated_bean]

It isn't around anymore but Eternal Crusade was fun.

[@akatsukimi]

Wtf, the tried EVERYTHING with this franchise.

[@alyasVictorio]

Yeah! The actual theme/setting of this franchise is so versatile that (almost) everything (rts, hack 'n slash like Space Marine, fps like Darktide, etc) fit into it Same goes for Mario franchise due to his theme/setting too (the difference between him and Warhammer tho- is that it's family-friendly)

[@alexlalov7152]

Dawn of War is where it really happened, Warhammer 40k became famous

[@TheMagnumDon]

I have to admit Dawn of War II got me into Warhammer overall that's why in Space Marine 2 you know I'm going to be rocking the Blood Raven's colors

[@ashwin.unlead]

yeah agreed the rts wasd my first game!

[@alyasVictorio]

...plus Space Marine 1 and 2 carry this franchise on afterwards

[@EliteRvZ]

same here. And the fact that now i can play as a Blood Raven (same marines from dawn of war I) in space marines 2 is so freaking cool

[@Peter_Schiavo]

I've replayed the Dark Crusade campaign many times. Soulstorm campaign was a let down compared to it.

[@muchlikesuffocating-rj8fb]

i wish someone would make a Warhammer 40k rpg that plays like mass effect

[@warhound8496]

Did you get your wish with rogue trader?

[@muchlikesuffocating-rj8fb]

[@TheVasgal]

You just wanna bang some xenos, dis you? 😅

[@yoelchristian6332]

I prefer Fallout.

[@АлександрКобяков-м3щ]

5:04:Legendary RTS,even now! И ещё-эта игра сделала из меня довераста лет 10 назад)

[@boi7316]

So I guess Warhammer is a lot of things. An rpg, strategy game, fps, third-person shooter (tps), etc. Edit: It can even be a variant of American Football

[@BattleBrotherCasten]

First and foremost it is a table top war game. They were smart with licenses and did multi-genre games in the Warhammer universes(fantasy and 40K) Blood bowl is a spin off table top game of Warhammer Fantasy and ironically the video game adaptation is the only one that attempts to be as much like the table top version as possible.

[@jdog7971]

Bloodball was my Start in the warhammer universe😂

[@corvaxblackfeather6529]

I played Final Liberation for long long years and loved it dearly... i just wished they would bring back such a game today.

[@jbol2454]

Final Liberation is probably the best one they made. Space Hulk Blood Angels.. is also really excellent..

[@kaspartambur]

Argh, my ears. HeroQuest music is a nightmare rhythmically

[@SamuraiKensei276]

You prolly are not a true nerd, to make such a statement.😑 P.S. at least the ost of Heroquest 2 it is still tolerable after all isn't it?😅

[@marqofthedwyne]

Will that is grimdark

[@WanderlustZero]

I'm assuming that was the jank Atari ST version... that and Space Crusade. It was much better on the Amiga and even the C64

[@FrankNoBank69420]

WH40k kill team looks fun asf wish I played it at the time

[@icze88]

Kill Team was a bad, short twinstick shooter that was completley unballanced. It was not a lot of fun.

[@icze88]

Inaccurate. Also missing games like Eternal Crusade which has been the best FPS variant to date. We're hoping Space Marine 2 will take that title when it comes out.

[@dominikmuller6785]

Yes!

[@bubrub5564]

Eternal Crusade was third person.

[@LazyJungleCat]

Man what a time to be alive to Warhammer!

[@terryliliana]

The lack of a game that played like Fallout classic is just painful. Imagine Space Hulk with those mechanics.

[@2Trundle]

Games Workshop: "It’s MY IP to sit on and do nothing with!"

[@ivorybow]

Thank you! Very nice, and very helpful

[@Metaaaal]

*nostalgia hits with you with over 9000 dmg* I played hero quest and space crusade on my atari 520 for years .. i still have the chiptunes on my pc ..

[@henrique909009]

WH40k: Rogue Trader, from owl at, great games, should also be on the list

[@naviamiga]

So much time spent playing space hulk and final liberation. Such amazing games (although would have loved final liberation to get more races and units).

[@jbol2454]

These two are actually the best games (the Blood Angel Space Hulk one is incredible). Final Liberation was left unfinished, games workshop and their terrible decision making...

[@Anthyrion]

Oof. I still remember Final Liberation. Most of the time it was fun, but sometimes, the AI messed up real bad. Even in a Exhibition Match you couldn't had a good fight against the AI, because it choosed mostly flyers which never ended their turn or took ages to finish it. My friend had it, that some Gretchins killed a Warlord. However they managed to do that

[@jbol2454]

Final Liberation was excellent and unfinished...

[@mark_w_4458]

Dark Omen = GOAT

[@ruslanchalbash8229]

В качестве предложения будущих эволюций: было бы круто сделать Halo и Gears Of War как главные шутеры на коробоксе. ))

[@EryxChannel2160]

Предложение хорошее) Halo давно собирался сделать, но так и не дошли руки, а потом вовсе забыл, теперь напомнили и сделаю обязательно)

[@Xyliganye]

@@EryxChannel2160хаахах я думал это англоязычный канал

[@Ragdollcatman001]

Oldest one I own is the Platinum Edition of Space Hulk for the Amiga which was one of the few games we kept when we sold our original Miggy.

[@victorsepulvedalarena679]

Very very good. Good work

[@uria3679]

To summarize: whenever a Warhammer game gets introduced life flip a coin

[@emulation2369]

I played Space Hulk 1993 as a kid and I was terrified...

[@arthurthebootleg6318]

Freeblade and Boltgun are my favorites.

[@farbrorbla]

Final Liberation was my jam back in the 90's. Still the most true adaptation of the boardgame

[@EthanWinters_2021]

Wow.... It's so awesome!

[@TheWolfspirit1991]

00:05. RIP my eardrums...

[@kraftypk7283]

Thanks for covering Eisenhorn Xenos, i thought id been gaslighting myself over that game, i remember playing it and loving it on android years ago but i could find no trace of the game or remember it's name!

[@R0n1n760]

Damn, time to replay some of these

[@MaxSabbath83]

dang. i dont think theres a better IP with worse games. so so many terrible games. gotta respect the will of the developers to just keep churning out turd after turd without ever dying from humiliation. i respect that boldness

[@savardchantale9153]

good job thank you!!!!

[@logger589]

Shadow of the horned rat! One of our first games on Windows 95. First CD-Roms.

[@jonasvolitsa3824]

Among those ones, I think useful to mention, even if they are not officials : -Call of Warhammer (or Rage of the Dark Gods) -The Sundering Two mods for Medieval 2 Total War : Kingdoms, and I (kind of) believe, what triggered GW and TCA to work together. And to add another one : -Warsword, for Mount and blade : Warband

[@BlueBblu]

Being born in 1984, playing pc and console games for years and years for some reason I always stayed clear from warhammer games and ignored them until this year. After finally looking into it and realizing ive been mossing sooooooo much. Ive been pulled into it and have been watching and reading as much as I can. I wish I had played Dawn of war 1 and Winters. It looked amaZing. I was into SC and Aoe those years. Might and mayic...etc. Emperor, forgive me. But now all that I do is in your name and mankinds. For the Emperor!!!

[@cxvxcbcxn]

We've come a long way...also currently things are looking good, both Boltgun and Space marine 2 are awesome!

[@sammcclain7532]

Some of these games ink 2015-2018 look like early 2000’s games lol

[@SpawnAbhi]

Nice one

[@Danielrunner100]

Currently loving Battle sector, a great one in my opinion. Looking forward to Darktide and Space Marine

[@AdderTude]

Space Marine 2 just came out a few weeks ago in 2024. The list is also missing Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin, which came out in 2023.

[@Bibliotecario1]

Buen vídeo, le felicito. Un saludo.

[@SteveFox4]

Nice summary, but there is one game missing “Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters” Release May 5, 2022

[@rahulkunche7934]

The only franchise I know of that made games of almost all genres. God damn

[@ruslanchalbash8229]

Моё почтение! Титанический труд! Ещё в будущем намечается потенциально годный Rogue Trader... И вопрос у меня: Inquisitor Prophecy это просто расширенная версия Inquisitor Martyr или это две разные игры?

I became a fan of the fantasy universe because of Chaosbane, even though that game could be better. Got sick and tired of Diablo 4's connection issues and their online play requirement so had to return to play Chaosbane. I recommend buying the slayer edition.
