Warmachine Tactics Early Access Playtesting Begins Now!
July 9, 2014 by brennon
Privateer Press' Warmachine: Tactics has now entered it's early access period on Steam as of today July 9th! You can head over to Steam now HERE and give it a go with Khador and Cygnar plus of course more on the horizon smashing seven hells out of each other!
The game is quite fun and some of the members of the Beasts of War team have been giving it a go with a few multiplayer matches under their belts. Apparently it's doing a very good job of bringing the tabletop game to a digital medium!
Single player is now available to try out and you can use Cygnar, Khador, Menoth and Cryx in multiplayer too!
The guys behind the game have also released a decidedly less taxing version of the game as well as patched a plethora of bugs and problems so it might even work on some more creaking machines and laptops!
Give it a go and let us know your thoughts on this iteration of Warmachine!
looks cool, but 50 quid for early access? no thanks
I backed the kickstarter, minus acces to beta, as it was just too expensive.
But, despite numerous email and reasurances, i still have bot recieved any of my physical rewards, rewards that of writing is a month over due.
So i am getting to the point i just dont care, and see it as a lost investment.
A month overdue is NOTHING for a kickstarter. This is very common… Some people wait for over a year.
21 months if it is Relic Knights, not that we are bitter or anything about it 😀
Hey guys, remember when alpha-testing was a PAID job and beta-tester keys were handed out for free because the company wanted the input on the bugs?
Well, apparently now you have to pay 60 euro for the priviledge of testing a half-made game! How gracious of all those companies to let us help them make the game work for paltry 60 euro…
59.99 euros for early access … so many things wrong with that picture i dont know where to begin tbh
I’ve seen worse prices for Early Access games, and at least hey are offering you the Dleuxe version of the game with a load of additional content that (I’d imagine) will be DLC once it hits retail….
Doesnt matter if you have seen worse, it doesnt make this a good deal anyway … and digital deluxe editions @ retail collector prices is simply whacked to begin with. For that price id expect the game and some physical collectors goodies and perhaps a few exclusive ingame items. If people could just start realize we as customers can control prices by keeping wallets closed and not just spend mindlessly.
That price for those graphics and a game that’s not finished ? All kinds of wrong. As is, with the content they announce and the graphics I see, I’d pay less than half of this price for a similar game on Steam (or more likely not pay at all, because there’s too little content as of yet).
Its tempting to get this release but at £50 its pretty steep more so then most AAA pc releases.
I just saw the price tag and laughed. They are totally asking premium price for a fully fledged finished game. There goes any chance of me touching it till that price halves. Shame as it was a game I was looking forward too.
Considering what you can get, content-wise, on Steam these days, I think I wouldn’t even pay this price for the finished product !
The only games on steam with prices like that are set by activision, the computer game worlfs equivalent of Games Workshop.
Well least now we know that Warmachine Tactics is getting closer to it’s release and knowing is half the battle. Sorry, I could not resist that last part.
Soooooo…
A game that’s undergone radical redesign several times?
A game choke-full of zero-day DLC?
A game that’s still in an unfinished barely-beta stage?
And you want me to pay 60 Euro?
I would say my frank opinion, except I don’t think the mods would appreciate my language. Let’s just say that I’m highly skeptical about the game and that there’s no way in Hell that I’ll pay that sort of money for it.
It’s $90.00 in North America on Steam. Not worth it for now. I’ll put my money down on the new Warhammer 40k game and wait on the Warmachine game. That and early access games and Greenlight games have left a sour taste in my mouth.
If Planet Annihilation is any indication of when a $90.00 early access game will go down in price to an average $39.99 to $49.99 it will be two years down the road.
