Give Warmachine Tactics a Go with its Free Demo
February 22, 2015 by dracs
If you've been considering picking up Warmachine Tactics, the turn based strategy game based in the Privateer Press' Iron Kingdoms, but want to give it a try first, you're in luck as a free demo is now available to download.
The demo reportedly includes three of the twenty single player levels that make up the single player campaign, as well as four of the six factions and full access to multiplayer. This is more than enough to give you a good idea of just what to expect when playing Warmachine Tactics.
Judging from what we have heard from others who have played the game, Warmachine Tactics gives a good gaming experience and really captures the feel of the Iron Kingdoms world and factions. The release of a free demo is a good move in my opinion as it will give those sitting on the fence the chance to try it out before they decide whether or not to dive in fully.

Not a bad game, a little clonky when it comes to the interface – But I have played my way through the campaign
Huge fan of the world and thought this would be a fun way to play factions before buying into them. The interface is clunky, and graphics are often confusing and overly visual. (i.e. Severius’ Eye of Menoth), and probably the one thing that just really irks me, is the camera. I have never had this much trouble getting use to a camera control.
Overall, I find myself not enjoying the game and often switching it off after a few minutes, every time.
As to the “feel” of the tabletop game, I found that Tactics gives the wrong impression. In the miniatures game, most grunts have only one wound and die when damaged. But in the video game, it takes multiple hits to kill just one guy. Kinda throws off all the actual tactics I learned from my tabletop experience.
