My introductory game to the Warhammer World.
The game is quite unique even with today's releases, as its campaign is made of scenarios—with a lethal finality on the loss of units.

Warhammer Dark Omen was a my first strategic game to play in my first pc 1998. The only mode to finish that game was to use cheat.....i still remember the words! Amazing

I love the campaign of this game. The battles are all meaningful, the dialogues are well written and the story is interesting and immersive. Its almost like reading a good story book.

If you've never heard of warhammer, Dark omen brings you into the world and shows you what to expect. It doesn't tell you it shows you, and the first time you're wizard explodes will leave a lasting impression

A worthy successor to Warcraft: Shadow of the Horned Rat, somewhat more complicated due to the undead nature of the enemies and that almost all of its units caused fear, a game that I would like to enjoy again

I remember being so hooked on this game, that when my alloted PC time was over I recreated the missions using Lego, humming the background music and mimicing the sound effects. I couple of years ago I managed to make my copy run on a modern system after some wrangling, and I'd say it still holds up, 3D terrain with character sprites is a really good combo, and even the interface while clunky, is still a massive improvement over SotHR. Trully a Good Old Game that could use some love in the "running it on modern hardware" department.

A superb blend of micro and macro strategy, that has never been bettered. There's Win10/11 fixes and even new mod campaigns, maps and multiplayer on the Dark Omem forum.

Strictly speaking, I probably shouldn't be writing this. Because I've only played the demo of the PlayStation version of Dark Omen. But it frustrated me quite a bit at first (similar to the one for Z: Stell Soldiers). But once I got the hang of it, I had a lot of fun with this one mission against an army of undead skeletons. And when my few halberdiers ran over an entire battalion because they got behind them at the right moment, I was super happy.
And I'd really like to play the full PC version, which can be played under Win10/11 without the fan patch (which doesn't work after all).

Warhammer: Dark Omen was a special Place in My Heart.
