Mordheim: City of the Damned is the first video game adaptation of Games Workshop's cult classic tabletop game Mordheim. Set in the Warhammer World's decimated Empire city, Mordheim: City of the Damned is a turn-based tactical game where you lead warbands into bloody and lethal skirmishes. The game blends RPG elements, fast-paced tactical combat and intricate unit customization in a time wrought by chaos and rivalry where only the strongest survive.

Extremely janky and could've been much better, but delightfully charming to my particular brain funguses.
Mordheim: City of the Damned made me realize that insane RNG is only fun when you play against other people, the lucky or unlucky rolls that make tabletop games exciting don't have the same effect when playing against a cold, emotionless machine. Most of the fun from good/bad rolls comes from the reaction of the other player rather than the numbers on the screen.
Besides that I think the adaptation of the tabletop to the computer game medium is pretty good, reminds me a bit of Valkyria Chronicles, only with fewer anime girls and more giant humanoid rats. The story mode is a little disappointing, but the skirmishes are very fun and the different factions offer some variety. You can even customize your units, but I wouldn't get too attached to them if I were you.
I probably won't finish all the content because that would take me like 300 hours, but I had a lot of fun with Mordheim nonetheless.
