Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin brings the Mortal Realms to life in the first major RTS set in Games Workshop's successor to Warhammer Fantasy. Developed by Frontier Developments, the game focuses on the conflict in Ghur, the Realm of Beasts, where the Stormcast Eternals, Orruk Kruleboyz, Nighthaunt, and Disciples of Tzeentch clash over ancient power. The Realm of Beasts provides a savage backdrop of living landscapes and predatory terrain that captures the wild nature of the Age of Sigmar setting. The gameplay emphasizes squad-based tactical combat over base building, with players capturing and upgrading strategic points across the battlefield to field more powerful units. Each faction plays distinctively - the Stormcast Eternals deploy elite warriors who can be reforged upon death, while the Kruleboyz rely on cunning and dirty tricks to overcome more powerful foes. The Nighthaunt phase through enemies and terrain, and the Disciples of Tzeentch manipulate the battlefield with sorcerous powers. The single-player campaign follows Stormcast forces as they pursue a vital mission in Ghur, featuring fully voiced characters and cinematic storytelling that introduces players to the Age of Sigmar setting. Conquest mode offers procedurally generated campaigns for extended play, while multiplayer modes support competitive matches and ranked leagues. The army painter allows unprecedented customization of unit appearances, letting players create forces matching their tabletop collections. Realms of Ruin demonstrates that the Age of Sigmar setting can work brilliantly in video games, providing a fresh take on Warhammer strategy that stands apart from both Dawn of War and Total War. The focus on smaller-scale engagements allows each unit to feel impactful and heroic, while the streamlined economy keeps the action focused on combat rather than resource management. For fans of the Age of Sigmar tabletop game, this represents the most authentic video game adaptation yet.
