Mordheim: City of the Damned

Mordheim: City of the Damned is a single-player and multiplayer turn-based tactical strategy and role-playing game.

The story takes place in the ruined city of Mordheim, once a thriving settlement within the Warhammer Fantasy universe. After a comet struck the city, leaving it shattered and filled with fragments of the magical wyrdstone, warbands from across the land flock to fight for control. The player leads one of these groups, seeking fortune, power, or divine favor by scouring the ruins for resources while contending with rival factions, mutated horrors, and the deadly environment itself.

The core gameplay is structured around tactical skirmishes. Battles unfold on a gridless map where each unit’s movement and actions are governed by initiative order and points. Characters can attack, climb, ambush, or set traps, with the ruined city offering both opportunities for cover and risks such as collapsing structures or hidden enemies. Combat emphasizes line of sight, positioning, and resource management, as warbands are often outnumbered or forced into unpredictable encounters. Gameplay options include both single-player campaigns and online multiplayer, allowing human opponents to field their own warbands in competitive battles.
