Imagine the developers took down a can of paint labelled “WARHAMMER” and poured it on to the Total War franchise. That is exactly what this game is and that is why I love it.
Destructoid - Chris Carter - 8 / 10.0
Outside of Shogun 2, Total War: Warhammer is my favorite Total game to date. Developing this project must have been a massive undertaking, because it somehow manages to not sacrifice the core tenets of the series while staying true to the ever-expanding source material of the Warhammer universe. After nearly two decades of historical battles, having the chance to command a magical undead army is a breath of fresh air.

With the most exciting unit roster yet, Creative Assembly's latest is a godly blend of franchises.
Game Informer - Daniel Tack - 8.8 / 10.0
If strategy games and massive battles are your thing, this is an excellent and entertaining choice that effectively captures the strength of its source material
Game Revolution - Jonathan Leack - 3.5 / 5 stars
When you walk away from Total War: Warhammer, you’ll feel like you’ve played yet another decent Warhammer game. It has the attention to detail and adherence to lore that fans of the IP look for, but without many of the compelling qualities that are needed to substantiate AAA games in a release-heavy year like 2016.
GameSpot - Daniel Starkey - 9 / 10
The Warhammer universe blends with the tactical gameplay of Total War to create one the best real-time strategy games ever.
GamesRadar+ - Matt Elliott - 4.5 / 5 stars
A charismatic, challenging, intricate strategy game that brings the Warhammer world to life.
GameWatcher - Dustin Bailey - 8.5 / 10.0
Despite performance quibbles and a repetitive endgame for the campaign, Total War: Warhammer is an exciting strategy game that stands on its own. The four factions offer unique playstyles with compelling strategic options, and the hero units, fantastic creatures, and monstrous enemies make for spectacular battles that are almost as much fun to watch as they are to command.
Guardian - Dan Griliopoulos - 4 / 5 stars
Fantasy tabletop warfare meets historical strategy simulation in a game that should be inaccessible but ends up exciting
IGN - T.J. Hafer - 8.6 / 10.0
Deep hero progression and a well-executed Chaos invasion round out a campaign that, while it has some flaws in set-up and pacing, fulfilled all of my deepest fantasies of seeing giant, impossible armies clashing amidst the shrieking of griffins and the glow of flaming meteors summoned from the sky. It’s just a damn good time.
Metro GameCentral - David Jenkins - 9 / 10
Warhammer’s fantasy elements add colour to Total War’s already impressive framework, with a strategy game that is both deep and tactical but also fun and attractive.
PC Gamer - Jody Macgregor - 86 / 100
If you find real history a bit bland compared to glorious nonsense made up by strange British people then Warhammer is the Total War for you.
TheSixthAxis - Stefan L - 8 / 10
With four strikingly different races, Creative Assembly have done a fantastic job in bringing the Warhammer tabletop game’s fantasy setting, variety and tactical trade-offs to life. Those thematic differences have also been infused into the campaign in several ways, but there’s perhaps a little too much common ground, and you can see the same fundamental framework beneath the surface. With plenty more races still to explore and stories to tell from this world, Total War: Warhammer does little to disappoint as this fantasy project is made reality.
TrustedReviews - Sam White - 4.5 / 5 stars
As a piece of creative work, Total War: Warhammer is more than an ideal partnership between two iconic franchises. As well as nailing the look, feel and atmosphere of the Games Workshop universe, Creative Assembly has delivered a strategy game that will keep series fans busy for hundreds, if not thousands, of hours, while also giving Total War newcomers a good – if not quite perfect – leg-up into the world of deep, grand strategy. It adds new mechanics and refines old ones, and improves greatly on the series’ terrible reputation for stability issues at launch.

Total War: Warhammer no ha inventado la rueda. Por el contrario, estamos hablando de un título de buena familia, que se levanta sobre los hombros de dos gigantes y que, por los mismos motivos, tenía un potencial enorme, pero también para decepcionar. Si no lo hace es por ser valiente, por atreverse a arreglar lo que no está roto, y por hacerlo todo con un solo objetivo en mente: el equilibrio. El equilibrio en cada regla, en cada batalla, en cada turno, hasta que te das cuenta de que son las cuatro de la mañana y que has olvidado cenar.

Había enorme curiosidad por ver cómo le sentaba a Total War el esmoquin de lujo que es Warhammer, y lo cierto es que le va como un guante. La poco reprochable fórmula jugable de Creative Assembly encaja a la perfección con la fantasía de Games Workshop y nos brinda una de las entregas más memorables de la que es una de las sagas de referencia. Combates épicos, infinidad de horas que invertir y más control que nunca sobre nuestras huestes para una nueva joya de la estrategia.
Vandal - Carlos Leiva - 8,7 / 10
La fórmula es la misma de siempre, pero gracias a todas las posibilidades que ofrece este universo de fantasía, The Creative Assembly ha sido capaz de incorporar un buen número de novedades (especialmente a la hora de combatir) que hacen de él un título divertidísimo de jugar y repleto de posibilidades estratégicas, aportando frescura a una saga que parecía haberse estancado con el paso de los años.
Maristation - 9 / 10
No es que suponga una gran revolución en la progresión de Total War, pero añade lo suficiente como para sentir que estamos ante algo con identidad propia, y no un mero reskin con (excelentemente recreadas) unidades de Warhammer.
