'Warhammer Underworlds: Online' Free To Keep On Steam For The Next Week, Gets New DLC

by Rainier on June 3, 2021 @ 10:28 a.m. PDT

Warhammer Underworlds: Online is a strategic, two-player digital conversion of Games Workshop's tabletop game.

Warhammer Underworlds: Online is a digital adaptation of the explosive, high-stakes, turn-based strategy tabletop game from Games Workshop that pits mighty warbands from the Age of Sigmar universe against one another in an eternal player versus player battle for Glory. Choose a warband, build your decks and carve a path to victory using dice-and-card mechanics that offer boundless strategic depth.

Trapped within the towering spires of the Mirrored City of Shadespire, six warbands battle it out for survival - each with unique abilities and a distinct combat style. Choose to play as the valiant Stormcast Eternals armed with heaven-forged weaponry, or the merciless Blood Warriors of Khorne, tearing apart their enemies with the aid of their loyal Flesh Hound.

Your success is measured in Glory points - awarded for achieving objectives and vanquishing your foes. Deckbuilding is the strategic heart of Warhammer Underworlds: Online. Your 20-card power deck is filled with clever gambits and powerful upgrades you’ll need to inflict maximum damage. Your 12-card objective deck will shape your tactical approach to a match, allowing you to score Glory by fulfilling specific conditions.

In Warhammer Underworlds: Online cards are split into warband-specific cards and Universal cards. Unlike the physical game ALL FUTURE UNIVERSAL CARDS WILL BE FREE, and will be added to the game in regular release packs. Diversify your decks with new cards, and dive back into competitive ranked play!


Between June 3rd and June 10th, the Warhammer Underworlds: Online base game is completely free on Steam. Simply download to keep forever over on Steam - don't delay, go get it now!

A brand new Warband comes to the game as DLC, Garrek’s Reavers - frenzied cannibals, mortals whose dark excesses have drawn them ever further into the thrall of the Blood God .

The Bloodbound are mortal warriors who have sworn themselves to Khorne, god of carnage and slaughter. Blinded by battle madness, lost to the exultant sensations of combat, they care for nothing but the kill. The warband led by the brutal killer known as Garrek Gorebeard, are frenzied cannibals, mortals whose dark excesses have drawn them ever further into the thrall of the Blood God. They eschew heavy armour, preferring to feel the blood spatter across their chests, and chase their prey as tirelessly as hunting wolves.

Unlock this warband and play as Garrek's Reavers in Warhammer Underworlds: Online now.

THE WARBAND

  • This warband consists of 5 fighters, who can outnumber and outmaneuver most warbands!
  • Bloodreavers become Inspired when a certain amount of warriors have been taken out of the game. Note that both enemies and allies count towards this total, so losing a few of your own warriors is not necessarily a fatal blow.
  • Garrek and his fighters possess a varied and lethal selection of abilities and weapons that can deal with any foe.

TIPS & TRICKS

  • The key to a successful Bloodreaver strategy is recognising which of your warriors to sacrifice, and when.
  • Ideally, you will want to score plenty of fast-scoring, aggressive objectives early on, accepting the deaths of your weaker fighters while stashing up as many glory points as possible.
  • Purchase upgrades for your heavy-hitters, such as Garrek Gorebeard and Blooded Saek because once these champions are fully equipped and Inspired, there are few enemy fighters that can stand against them.
  • Objectives that reward you for an aggressive, mobile playstyle are well suited to the Bloodreavers, particularly those that can be scored out quickly – don’t overlook the Hold Objective cards, as these can be a great way to score points early on.

As you play casual or ranked matches with each unique warband, advance through a rewarding progression system. Earn cosmetic content including warband skins, deck portraits, and player titles! Only those who have proven themselves in the unforgiving streets of Shadespire will be able to claim these rewards.

Warhammer Underworlds Games Workshop’s ‘Ultimate Competitive Miniatures Game’ has been growing in popularity since its launch in October 2017. The tabletop franchise has released two major instalment boxed sets (Shadespire and Nightvault) and more than a dozen Warband expansion packs so far, and with a thriving community and tournament scene, the game shows no signs of slowing down.

Warhammer Underworlds: Online is available for PC (Steam) for $9.99 USD and is available to play in English, Russian, French, Italian, German and Spanish.
