[PC-PS4-XBO] Mordheim: City of Damned, Dal Boardgame al Videogame Opzioni

[TheRuler]

http://mordheim-cityofthedamned.com/

Focus Home Interactive and Rogue Factor today proudly unveil the first video game adaptation of Games Workshop's cult classic 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.

After the Comet of Sigmar crashed on Mordheim, the City of Damned turned into a terrifying battlefield where rival warbands fight fiercely for the control of key neighborhoods, looking for glory and fortune by acquiring the very valuable Wyrdstone fragments.

Pick your warbands from iconic Mordheim factions - Sisters of Sigmar, Possessed, Skaven, Mercenaries from the Empire, and many more - and lead your troops to battle. Recruit new units, equip them with enhanced gear. Evolve and customize your warband with the experience gained from each successful mission, transforming them into a terrifying force on the battlefield.

Devise the best strategy to annihilate your rivals. If you fail, some of your units might lose a limb... or worse. Keep in mind that in Mordheim: City of the Damned, a dead unit is lost forever! Consider the environment when formulating your battle strategy, exploiting the unique buildings, ruins or the layout of the streets. Deploy your troops carefully and anticipate the actions of your adversaries to set up ambushes! Organize ingenious battle plans where the talents of your units will be as important as your own luck during key moments of combat.

Loot items and weapons hidden in the ruins, or steal those of fallen opponents. Survive the dangers that abound in the City of the Damned and collect as many Wyrdstones as you can, but remain ever vigilant. Mordheim is one of the most treacherous places in the Warhammer world!

In these epic battles where fame and glory await, your strategy will definitely be your best ally! Visit the four corners of the City of the Damned to complete multiple missions in the solo campaign, or challenge other players in enthralling multiplayer modes.

Riches and infamy await you late 2014 in Mordheim: City of the Damned!

SBAV.

Woooooa! Io ci giocai 1000 anni fa (no, dai, solo sei ) con però le statuine del proprietario del negozio dove giocavo ricordo che nella squadra avevo uno o due mastini e un cacciatore di streghe con la pistola... era un bellissimo gioco da tavolo, anche se non sopportavo il dover misurare le distanze COL RIGHELLO. Chissà come lo traducono in gioco da pc..?

[Vresk]

Non può essere vero!
La GW che mette in risalto uno Specialist Game dopo averli mandati tutti all'inferno?!?

[TheRuler]

Il primo gioco specialist che ha visto la luce è stato BloodBowl. Ed essendo stato un esperimento più che riuscito stanno mungendo la vacca fino a che ha latte. Tanto più che i modelli 3d sembrano essere praticamente gli stessi...

[Vresk]

Sono parecchio confuso e adesso cercherò di mettere in ordine i miei pensieri.
Blood Bowl è stato l'ultimo baluardo di speranza per la SG, mi ricordo in un White Dwarf (mi sembra del 2008) si parlava di un rinnovo completo dei tutta la gamma cominciando proprio dal titolo suddetto; nel 2009 vede la luce il gioco per pc con i seguenti aggiornamenti e così via.
Intanto nessuna altra miniatura viene prodotta facendo sorger non pochi sospetti a chi come me sperava in un futuro.
Purtroppo circa un anno fa, la Specialist Games viene "chiusa" (chiaramente una mossa atta ad indirizzare l'utenza verso titoli più remunerativi come WarHammer).

Settembre 2014- Mordheim PC

Capisco, come tu ben dici, che abbiano riciclato i modelli 3d per un'altro titolo... ma perché?

Ho visto usare i titoli come Dawn of War o Mark of Chaos come "appiglio" per i nuovi giocatori di miniature, consentendo alla GW di guadagnarci due volte, con il gioco da tavolo e la versione video. Una mossa azzeccata.
Il fatto che rilascino un gioco fine a se stesso mi lascia di stucco. Porterà solamente chi vorrebbe avvicinarsi all'Hobby davanti ad un gioco da tavolo morto... che con lo stile di Mordheim ci stà (battutaccia... scusate).

[TheRuler]

Io mi sono dato questa spiegazione:
visto il periodo e la facilità con cui vengono fondati i progetti con miniature, non escludo che GW stia pensando seriamente a kickstarter. Il lancio di un gioco per PC, con assets già praticamente creati, è un esborso e soprattutto un rischio molto piccolo.
Dovesse andare bene ci si butterà a capofitto, ne sono sicuro. E' anni che GW non è più una società sforna giochi ma sforna soldi...

Guarda qui qualche esempio:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dyskam...tegy-board-game
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/409030...machine-tactics
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/607885...mm-resin-miniat
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/162177...?ref=nav_search

[Vresk]

mmm... good point!

[Gamanek]

Stando a quello che dice Ser Righellotto però a sto punto c'è da aspettarsi anche DLC e packs di qualsiasi cosa per tutti quelli che NON hanno fatto il backing del progetto...

[TheRuler]

GW è famosa per le porcate che ha fatto e con BloodBowl non è stata da meno.
ha tirato fuori un gioco con meno squadre di quelle previste (mi pare 16 su 20) senza i NANI, ha fatto uscire un dlc gratuito con gli elfi oscuri (retexture degli elfi silvani già presenti). Per poi far uscire un anno dopo la LEGENDARY edition (gioco da comperare ex novo) sempre a 39 euro...

[TheRuler]

Early access a breve! col 20% di sconto sul prezzo! che ancora non hanno annunciato... speriamo bene.

Intanto ecco un assaggio del gameplay. Non so voi, ma io ho già l'acquolina.

[Vresk]

Dal filmato sembra promettente!

[TheRuler]

40 euri. PERO'!
sconto del 20% se si compra in early access.
Peccato che saranno solo 4 le bande giocabili... le altre arriveranno in Mordheim 2... o qualche DLC... figurati se non era così.
Ad ogni modo all'inizio si potranno usare:
Mercenari reikland
Culto dei Posseduti
Skaven del clan Eshin
Sorelle Sigmarite
Ogni banda avrà la sua storia in campagna singleplayer. [FICO!]

Peste li colga per il fatto di aver lasciato fuori i cacciatori di streghe...


Dalle FAQ qualche notizia interessante:

What are the main differences between Mordheim: The city of the Damned and the original tabletop game?

With no specific orders, here are the major differences between the original tabletop game and the digital version we are creating:

Instead of playing every units of a warband and watch the enemy play his warbands, units are mixed in an initiative ladder. The purpose is to increase strategy and reduce the waiting time before playing actively again
Exploration is done in combat by the Player rather than rolled randomly after combat. It's an active part of gameplay
Warbands have been revamped with new units
Injuries encountered, besides giving penalties to the unit, also cost gold and takes time to heal putting units Out of Action for a while
Besides having the units gain ranks, the Warbands along with the Player will gain ranks and unlock new bonuses
The game has a full campaign mode with a compelling story
Special chaotic events might occur and affect the battle. This is different during every skirmishes


Is the environment part of the gameplay?

All buildings in the playable area can be visited. Most of them have climbing zones, hiding places for ambushes and high ground for over watch as well. There will be flat scalable walls and flat(ish) balcony and rooftop that your character may access. On certain story maps, you will have the opportunity to walk on predetermined parts of roofs.

They will be fun to play in and create the strategy you want to use against your opponents!

We would have loved to, but as of now we have no destructible environment. But the environment is taken in consideration since it provide a cover percentage for range attacks.

If Rogue Factor have to promote only one feature for their upcoming game?

Without any doubt: the permanent death. The universe of Mordheim: The City of the Damned is a very tough world. And some consequences of your actions will illustrate that matter in no time.

[Vresk]

Già... ma reduce di Blood Bowl, aspetterò parecchio prima di comperarlo.
Per il momento 4 bande, per me, non sono sufficienti.

[TheRuler]

Già... ma reduce di Blood Bowl, aspetterò parecchio prima di comperarlo.
Per il momento 4 bande, per me, non sono sufficienti.

Possibile che ce lo troveremo in qualche Bundle.

Anche a me 4 bande sono sembrate poche ma poi mi sono ricreduto facendo questo ragionamento: nel gioco origianle è difficile che un giocatore possegga ed utilizzi tutte le bande in circolazione, è più facile che si specializzi, vuoi per l'elevato costo che comporterebbe, vuoi per affezione.
Stesso vale per Bloodbowl. E' bello acquistare un gioco con 18 squadre giocabili, ma è un puro fatto psicologico, visto che se ne proveranno al massimo 3 e si giocherà quasi sempre con la stessa.

Bisogna ammettere che dal punto stilistico, con l'ambientazione hanno fatto un lavoro eccezionale:



Certo che gli scenari FISICI sono una bellezza. Da giocare poi una goduria.

[Vresk]

Bisogna ammettere che dal punto stilistico, con l'ambientazione hanno fatto un lavoro eccezionale

Senza dubbio alcuno! Hanno aggiunto anche qualcosa di insolito (a mio avviso) che comunque calza benissimo con l'ambientazione, come le strutture ricoperte di larve o in parte composte da quella che sembra essere carne.

Quando il prezzo si aggirerà sui 20 euro, me lo concederò .

[MashiroTamigi]

effettivamente per 30 euro uno si prende un gioco completo..
Aspettiamo e vediamo, mai giocato al gioco da tavolo ma sono un fan dell'ambientazione warhammer e soci :sisi:
Se ho capito bene, quì parliamo di skirmish giusto?

[TheRuler]

Si. Mordheim si può definire lo skirmish di warhammer fantasy.

[MashiroTamigi]

Io qualche volta ho "provato" ad iniziare warhammer o warhammer 40k.. poi mi son fermato per i costi proibitivi.

[TheRuler]

Uguale, sono passato a Mordheim perché con pochi euro ti fai una banda. Ed è uno di quei giochi dove ti bastano davvero 4 palazzi costruiti col lego, e qualche soldatino per cominciare a giocare. Il pdf del regolamento è scaricabile gratuitamente e come miniature si possono usare anche le sopresine dell'ovino.

[MashiroTamigi]

Behold the mighty TARTALLEGRA OF DOOM!

[TheRuler]

Preso e lo sto giocando. E' spettacolare.
Il giocatore del gioco da tavolo lo adorerà ma piaceà sicuro anche al giocatore occasionale.
Si tratta di un OTTIMO strategico a turni che impegna e diverte con una componente di crescita su base campagna single player molto forte.
Come il gioco cartaceo godi quando vinci e piangi quando perdi; soprattutto se ti muore il leader. AAAARGH!
IA notevole.


nota a margine, giocatelo in inglese. Non solo perché chi è avvezzo conosce già tutte le caratteristiche, gli incantesimi e le abilità, ma anche perché "Guerriero di Fuoco" tradotto da "Fire Warrior" (Licenzia Guerriero) non si può vedere.

[TheRuler]

Rilasciata PATCH 5.
Da quando hanno aggiornato all'ultima versione il motore UNITY i caricamenti sono diventati velocissimi, e le richieste hardware ottimizzate.
Un lavoro tecnico coi fiocchi. Altro che "Rise of the Bug Raider".

Per fortuna hanno corretto anche la traduzione: ora ci siamo.

Known Issues
- Problem with AMD Drivers: Many players have reported issues with the latest AMD drivers, and we have been working diligently to find a solution. Unfortunately, the problem seems to lie beyond our control; it is a particularity of the way the Unity engine interacts with the AMD software. More information
