Reception

Warhammer: Battle for Atluma received "mixed or average" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic.

IGN found problems with the game's severely minimalistic presentation that "...[didn't] use the power of the PSP at all" and called the title "...a very bare-bones experience."[1] GameSpot praised the solid translation of the Warhammer Warcry game mechanics while criticizing the dull presentation, hard-to-read cards, and lack of sorting and filtering options available for the player's deck.[2] GameSpy called the CCG mechanics decent and panned the weak single-player campaign mode and bad presentation. GameZone gave the game 5 out of 10 and wrote, "Battle for Atluma is a good package for any lover of the card game, but it doesn’t offer anything special to draw outsiders into the experience."[3] GamesRadar+ cited the accessibility, custom decks, and campaign mode as positives while taking issue with the lack of Warhammer aesthetics, simplistic gameplay, and card text readability issues.[4]
