The Brutal Tribe Expansion Out Now For Warhammer Quest
Board games and mobile devices are a perfect fit. We reviewed Rodeo Games' Warhammer Quest back in June, and while it has some problems inherent in the source material, it's an enjoyable experience. Now, players can expand their armies and arsenals with The Brutal Tribe update and additional hero and weapon packs.
The Brutal Tribe sends players to fire caverns to fight Savage Orcs, Stone Trolls, and Black Orcs. The battles will be tough, but players can enlist the help of three new hero classes through a separate in-app purchase.
A new hero pack unlocks the Shadow Warrior, the Bright Wizard, and the Ogre Irongut. There are also new legendary weapons. All owners of the base game will get an increased level cap (now topping out at level eight) and new items, armor, and weapons.
The Brutal Tribe expansion costs $4.99, the heroes each cost $2.99, and the legendary items are $.99 each. Purchasing everything will run you $18.91 plus tax.
Our Take
My iPad is one of my favorite board-gaming accessories. When games like Warhammer Quest get expansions, it puts a smile on my face. As a tabletop board gamer, I typically spend $40 - $70 on base games and $20 - $40 on expansions (it's not an inexpensive hobby).
For less than $20, Rodeo Games is delivering digital content that would cost players at least that much (possibly significantly more) if it were in a box. For board gamers, playing digitally is a bargain.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
