The game doesn’t look good enough to justify performance issues of any kind either. We’re past the point of talking about an acceptable number of crashes, or playable stuttering versus unplayable. It may not be as bad now as it was at launch, but this is their third time doing the same game. The performance is poor, and the game loves to crash. The UI is messy, unintuitive, and now takes longer to learn than the rules. Which isn’t at all apparent when you see what they did with everything else. Which means that Games Workshop technically did all the heavy lifting, but at least Cyanide knew not to mess up what works. The core game is great, and faithfully adapted. Which is why it’s such a damn shame Blood Bowl 3 was released like this. You’d be fooled by the premise, but Blood Bowl is actually a masterful strategy game, especially in multiplayer. Sometimes, winning the game will cost a few skulls, but it’s a rare game where just crushing skulls is enough to win. It’s definitely the most fun part, no doubt about it, but you need to be smart about it. Although I have to say that the game is brilliantly balanced, and the Blood part never does outshadow the Bowl. All in all, it turns a game of throwing around a ball into something reminiscent of ancient Mayan soccer. Possibly except for the witchcraft, though I feel like someone has already tried.
Also, much like traditional American Football. Fouling players up to and including murder, bribing officials, and using witchcraft to influence the game are all tools at your disposal. It’s called BLOOD Bowl 3 after all, not Peace and Love Bowl. Unlike American Football (at least most of the time), there’s a big chance your whole team won’t make it through the match. Just like in American Football, the goal is to get one of your guys to carry the ball into the other team’s endzone. Sadly there’s no Age of Sigmar or 40K versions yet, which I do admit I find off.
Combat, by which I mean totally fair play, takes place between two teams made up of Warhammer Fantasy characters. Although you’d be forgiven for thinking that American Football was already turn-based, given how they stop plays every five seconds.
Stunties all nice and lined up, ready to be put on administrative leave.įor those who don’t know, Blood Bowl is a turn-based parody of American Football.
