Good game, bad overall design.,
This game is sort of a cross between Dungeons and Dragons and Magic: The Gathering, for PSP.
Overall, it’s a strong game. It has a good battle system, and does quite well as a single-player game.
So why did I give it a 3 star overall rating? The overall design of the game is very poor, and there is no plot. I mean this literally: the entire single-player game consists of playing against different opponents. You have to see it to believe it; I have never played a game that didn’t even try to put in brief story arcs or cutscenes. Your single-player campaign is nothing more than a list of your wins/losses. You play against opponents (who are nothing more than a picture, no dialogue, no anything) until you win. That is it.
I enjoy the gameplay a lot, so I said it’s 5 stars for fun. But it gets boring quite quickly if you’re not enthralled with a card/grid combat gameplay that you play over. And over. And over again.

|Great Game! Encouraged for card game addicts,
Warhammer WarCry: Battle for Atluma
This is a great game. I have a blast buying the cards (in game so it doesn’t burn a hole in your pocket) and beating up opponents. The game is strictly a virtual TCG (trading card game) so if your not into that kind of stuff, I doubt you will be able to play for long periods of time. But overall a great game! [...]. (It is based of the card game that is based of the actual warhammer game btw)

|Just like the card game (CCG) – WARCRY,
This game is interesting to me because I used to play the CCG (collectible card game) called WARCRY (similar to Yu-Gi-Oh, Magic the Gathering, etc). It was a WARHAMMER CCG that is no not being produced anymore… I really liked the card game so I bought this. I like this game too, but it is kinda hard to see everything, maybe the small screen is the issue. But you can zoom to see the text on the cards, etc.
You should like this if you are into CCGs or WARHAMMER. It is based on strategy and you can build your own decks or play with pre-constructed decks. They even give you the option to “buy” cards (in the game) with money you earn from winning games.
I like this type of game, so I am rating it higher than most people…maybe 7 out of 10. If you don’t like CCGs or WARHAMMER, I’d say you might rate it 4 or 5 out of 10.
