  This Beastmen faction DLC is a top quality product that can revitalising now or does it need it when there is a winter sale on? Completionists and fans of Warhammer will pay top dollar for this DLC, everyone else will shrug and wait until a bunch of Total Warhammer DLC comes together in a cheaper bundle.

  Call of the Beastmen is not a bad bit of DLC; it’s just an overpriced one. It is nearly a third of the price of the main game, and it contains nowhere near a third of the content. For hard-core fans of the original, this addition is worthwhile for the extra race, but it might be prudent to wait for a sale. Casual fans can ignore the Call altogether.

  Call of the Beastmen will satisfy anyone looking to enrich the vanilla Warhammer experience with a distinct army. The Warhammer fluff tells us every forest in the Old World is teeming with Beasts of Chaos—heck, some of us even wasted our uni years reading about it—and this DLC embodies that assurance with savage detail.

  7.5

  Creative Assembly has gone some way to justifying it by bringing an unparalleled sense of personality to the Beastmen (long the punching boys of the Warhammer world), as well as creating a separate campaign map. The DLC will satisfy anyone hoping to add to their vanilla game experience, though some might want to wait until it goes on sale at a lower price point.

  The Call of the Beastmen DLC might not be what many expected from the first big add-on for Total War: Warhammer, but it's still a worthwhile purchase. The shorter campaign format is an enjoyable intro to the race and has some nice battles in store for players. The race is just about different enough to warrant the opening of your wallet, especially if you're into hyper-aggressive tactics, both on and off the bloodied battlefields.

  7.0

  Allo stesso modo, la campagna risulta frenetica, divertente e con un ritmo serrato, ma pecca per le mancanze in fatto di narrativa e inoltre può essere affrontata solamente con una fazione. Al di là dei suoi intrinseci pro e contro, l'aspetto sul quale molti giocatori si focalizzeranno e discuteranno sarà il prezzo piuttosto elevato di Call of The Beastman.
