This game was my childhood and it's as brutally tough as I remember it to be. It's aged well, offers the player a repeatable tough but fair challenge and has monumentally better voice acting than many modern games too. Follow the community guides to get the graphical upgrades working and you'll really enjoy it!2 found this helpful
This is my favorite game of all time and now with the added benefits of it working flawlessly on Linux through Steam i am in heaven. Thank you devs! Highly recommend this game.2 found this helpful

This was my favourite game when it came 1998. Game is still solid after plus 20 years. Gameplay is hard but after many tries you managed to win map with suitable casualties and move on. If you like Warhammer, then you must have this.1 found this helpful
I had a demo for this in 1998 where you have to defend a countess at a church. Loved it then, but never played the full game. Coming back to it almost 30 years later, it holds up great. When the cannon rips through a horde of undead and then rotten gore splashes out and individual zombies go flying, it's just as satisfying as any higher fidelity game I've played. I love the fully voice acted Medieval Zoom meetings, too. This game is so sincere in its presentation. Great voice actors and music. You can tell this was made by a bunch of nerds that wanted to make something cool out of a thing they were passionate about. It's authentic in a way that modern games - even when they're inspired by the old stuff - almost never are. Not a hint of irony or embarrassment about what they were making. Anyway, it's fun to play, and easy to get into. Check it out.
This game needs to be touched up and remastered.. not just dumped onto steam for $10, as is from its 1998 release.
