Warhammer - Mark Of Chaos, PC Game.

"I can see in your eyes that you fear this enemy. I can see in your eyes that you wonder how we can fight such terrible monsters. Men of the Empire, I have the answer. We fight them with our steel, we fight them with our courage, but above all we fight them with our faith in Sigmar."
Magnus the Pious, at the Battle of the Gates of Kislev.

Mark of Chaos gives you total control over the tactics, appearance and the unit content of the forces of the Empire, Chaos, Skaven and also the High Elf armies.


The game’s campaign follows two different champions from both the human and orc sides of the fence, Stephan Von Kessel from the Empire and Thorgar the Blooded One, after the Chaos invasion. The two separate campaigns each follow the same series of events, albeit from different points of view. The game’s story is told through cutscenes, although the overall presentation of the storyline seems a little too average and run-of-the-mill, which is a shame considering the depth of the Warhammer universe.

The gameplay is very solid, offering up some great features. You’ll command dozens of units at the same time and the game allows you to customize your units as well. The customization options are very deep, allowing you to upgrade their weapons and armor and basically gear them however you see fit. Unlike games which only allow these kinds of upgrades on hero units, Mark of Chaos goes the extra mile and lets you build up your army to suit your playing style.

The hero units also have some very unique features. You can purchase abilities for them the same way that you upgrade your army, purchasing more spells for spell-casting hero units or special moves for fighter heroes.

Heroes also have unique traits and abilities outside of what you purchase for them. For starters, heroes can wield items like potions or extra armor. Also, they have the ability to go one-on-one with an enemy on the battlefield through the dueling option, with the loser taking a hit to their overall unit's morale.

Graphics wise, Mark of Chaos looks very impressive. The game has some extremely detailed units, more so than most RTS games out there. The environments look great, including some really great lighting effects. Some of the battle animations look a little stiff and uninspired and the framerate can be occasionally jumpy, but the overall look of the game is very good.

The sound effects are also impressive. The game’s score is very nice, and the voice acting is generally very well done.

Mark of Chaos is a RTS with some great features and some of the very deep unit customization features. While the game falls a bit shy in terms of storytelling, it’s still a solid RTS that fans of Warhammer should definitely take a look at.
