Read original review"Necromunda: Underhive Wars has potential, but never quite lives up to it thanks to slow-paced battles and dodgy AI."
Read original review"As such, just as the tabletop game is based on, Necromunda: Underhive Wars proved that it is not for everybody. You need patience and you need to have passion for the deep tactical approach, to enjoy what the game offers. …"
