About Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat (Classic)
Stormclouds gather over the Border Princes, unnoticed by the reclusive Wizard engrossed in the study of his profound discovery – an ancient crystal of Elven origin, together with something far more sinister…
SOUND THE CHARGE, WE GO TO WAR!
In the grim world of Warhammer, powerful armies clash in cataclysmic battles. Orc hordes batter at the gates of the Empire, mighty bastion of humanity, whilst the twisted and malign servants of Chaos gnaw at the very fabric of society from within.For those who can read the signs, a hideous and terrifying pattern is emerging through the haze of strife and warfare.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
The controls are unlabeled and the clicking is inaccurate. This game needs to be able to issue commands while paused. I could not get my squad to do what i wanted them to do. I played this game for PS1 many years ago and i enjoyed it. The screen and controls on the PS1 version was playable: this was not.11 found this helpful
this game is very old and extremely clunky in controls. once you are used to it, it is totaly playable but its clear this is from the very early years of strategy pc games. the amount of love and creativity that was poured in this game is beyond belief. it is a difficult game with a lot whole lot of depth. if you are in for a challange this game is well worth it. if you want a more streamlined experience with much better controls try dark omen instead.3 found this helpful
Old school game, that i still have on CD, good enough to buy it again on steam. Graphics are dated, music is still great, gameplay still has enough to keep me recommending it. 30 years after I first played it, I remembered it was hard but its probably a good thing that they dont make games like this anymore1 found this helpful
Would like to recommend as re-living an old classic and its a good copy with regards massive RNG topics making it very tough and unforgiving.1 found this helpful
Sadly the game just isn't playable. I was looking forward to playing again.1 found this helpful
It is what it is. It's the ancient first warhammer game released 31 years ago as of writing. It's controls are clunky, it's decisions opaque and it's combat difficulty heavily dependent on RNG which makes the game much harder than we are used to. The story is great and it's visuals still hold their charm. It's a really fun albeit occasionally frustrating experience that is worth trying. Use the manual and guides to shamelessly avoid silly time traps (some missions are unwinnable and the magic item hunt it a pin in the bum). Save often - if the rng hurts you just quit and reload. You get used to the controls. This is the classic version, they have not re-developed this game. I would be very interested in seeing what that looked like.
