Summary

Talisman: The Horus Heresy is a digital board game based on the Talisman rule system and set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, during the cataclysmic events of the Horus Heresy.

Up to four players will be able to take control of one or more of the galaxy’s greatest heroes or most notorious villains. Taking the side of either traitor or loyalist, these Warlords will form vast companies of Space Marines, battalions of tanks and battlefleets of Spacecraft. They are the most powerful beings in the Galaxy and their followers are legion.

The new combative team play will appeal to fans of Talisman and the Horus Heresy alike. It’s a unique adaptation of Talisman that has been tailored specifically for digital platforms.

The Horus Heresy refreshes the formula decently but not overly bravely. The biggest problem was that when I played it its servers resembled a ghost town from a western movie and it was nearly impossible to find anyone to play with.

Taking an existing boardgame and adapting it for another franchise is difficult, but Nomad Games pulls it off well enough. Talisman: The Horus Heresy is a game best suited to Warhammer 40K fans for sure, but regular gamers wanting a fun boardgame experience on their PC could do a hell of a lot worse than this.
