Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower is a stunning boxed game for two to four players, set in the shifting, labyrinthine lair of a sinister Gaunt Summoner! Work with your friends to conquer the secrets of the Silver Tower, or take the glory for yourself – characters level up and become stronger with persistent stats kept between games.

What I love about this game is that it takes me back to a time when d&d was something more than a sluegh of lowbudget/dated action rpgs. Modern graphics make the game come to life in ways that could only be imagined in the days of the tabletop adventures. Turnbased dungeon crawlers like this belong to a generation that actually made it cool to be a nerd. Oxymorons aside keep in mind that it is quite difficult and not bashful about wiping out your party. Camping in any of the chambers so that the wizard has time to heal often draws out more monsters as the injuries just keep piling on.
But don't fret, when your party is wiped, you return to town with all the loot and gold that you earned so long as you don't play the hardcore mode (if u do than goodluck w that!) Very immersive and mood setting musical score but practically nothing in the way of voice acting. If u want a story than be prepared to read a good bit of text. The gameplay is fun, but the controls are a little strange, especially text scrolling. After playing for a while it becomes obvious this is a straight port of an iPad game. The insult is that the game is under $3 on the Apple app store. This aside, the game is fun, if a little stunted from its tablet roots.
Gameplay is all tactical, and is fun for a tactical hack and slash. I've taken a star off because the port is poorly done. The developer really should have taken the time to clean up the user interaction. As it stands now, $30 for a $3 game is unacceptable. Seeing a 10x markup for a port has left me with buyer's remorse.

Submitted on 3/11/2017 Review title of SaintRagnar0kFun, but odd controlsThis game was originally a phone app, and is obvious when you play. On Android, it costs $4.80, but additional 'DLC' is $3 a pop, with 10ish DLC. This game appears to already have most, if not all, DLC. Just want to throw that out there, so people know that you get more with this $30 version. Now to the actual game, its fun.
Its a hack and slash kind of game, with some spells thrown in. Graphics are pretty old looking, and the controls for the game are weird. Example, to read a spells effect, you need to hold Y, move with D-Pad, and then hold down A. While holding Y the whole time. Its just Wonky, but combat is easy and fun. Going to towns show where controls are the worst, hard to navigate and read text boxes that pop up.
This game would be 10X Better with realist changes to item/chat boxes. It just bogs the game down, and frustrates.
The $30 price seems a bit much for a game that hasnt been optimized for consoles. Only get this if you are a Warhammer fan or have money to blow.
Submitted on 3/14/2017 Review title of OftKiltedFun RPG-lite Turn-based Dungeon AdventureWH:Q is true to the original board game; this is a turn based hack and slash dungeon adventure. Warhammer Quest on the Xbox One is the same as the Steam and iPad versions, but it includes ALL of the DLC content for free in the base price (instead of having to pay nearly $45 USD like you do on the iPad). Submitted on 3/13/2017 Review title of Merman HelvilleTrue to classic GamesWorkshop strategy with luck n funThis time I am not playing over at the neighbor kid who doesn't quite know all the rules.If you enjoy Bloodbowl, this game is for you.Turn based strategy in a dungeon filled with monsters, one random tile at a time.Assemble a team of four different classes from a roster of eleven to loot and level up.
I really like when I equip an item on the inventory screen and it clearly alters the gameplay appearance.+45hours of smooth, glitch free, gameplay. Awesome fun.Spambott's review has valid negative comments. I wish there was a 3/4 isometric view and a x4 fast forward. Submitted on Review title of RedBeard njGreat mobile portSo i wasnt in a rush to get this since i already plunged into the mobile version.
But what do you know! Im totally re-addicted again! Such a good game and a treat to play on a big screen! All Warhammer and turn based strategy fans should consider getting this. It also includes all dlc, hence the price. Side Note: the trailer above shows the game running at a poorly 20-30fps, well this is not the case so dont worry.
Im playing on the X now, but ive also played it on the S and original One. I can confirm it looks to be running around 60fps.
Not sure if its locked but ive seen no frame drops:D.
