User:Jacky 50A/Warhammer Fantasy Battles Video Game

Warhammer Assault is a fighting game developed and published by 50A Studios for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC based on Games Workshop's Warhammer Fantasy Battles tabletop game. The game was developed with the CryEngine and launched on October 7 2022. It is rated M for Mature and received mixed reviews from the game's critics.

Overview
Warhammer Assault is set within an alternate timeline of its original incarnation, with its current events taking place in the aftermath of the Storm of Chaos event. After the disastrous failure of the Everchosen's attempt to bring forth the end of the world for the Chaos Gods, the Ruinous Powers decided to crown a new Everchosen by establishing a tournament to determine who will be the next Everchosen.

Through subterfuge and manipulation, the Chaos Gods attracted the attention of a great many warriors from the world over, who all come into conflict with one another due to the Chaos Gods' machinations. Even long dead warriors of legends were resurrected by them in their effort to bring about the final apocalypse. Whether the contest would be a failure or not, the Chaos Gods have no intentions whatsoever to not let their plans come to fruition. The world must be ended by them, for they have decreed so long ago.

Gameplay
Players choose from a sizeable array of characters to fight against their opponents in a three-dimensional stage reminiscent to those of Tekken and Soul Calibur. Much like the latter, players can win against their enemies by knocking them off the stage's environment, though not every stage has ledges players can use to knock enemies over. In battle, characters possess a number of different stats that determine the measure of their abilities and how they are meant to be played. These stats are divided into these categories, which represent the base value of each statistic:


 * HP (Hit Points)
 * Determines how much damage a character can take before getting defeated.
 * AP (Armor Points)
 * Determines how much armor protection a character has.
 * Armor points essentially provide characters a second health bar, which will boost their base physical and magical resistances as long as their armor points aren't depleted.
 * Once a character's armor points are depleted, they cannot regenerate them and has to fight with lesser defenses.
 * Armor points do not completely nullify the damage characters take from standard attacks, but they can increase their chances of survival.
 * MB (Mobility)
 * Determines how fast a character moves across the stage, either on foot or in flight.
 * PA (Physical Attack)
 * Determines how hard a character's physical attacks hit, both ranged and melee.
 * MA (Magical Attack)
 * Determines how hard a character's magical attacks hit, both ranged and melee.
 * PR (Physical Resistance)
 * Determines how resistant a character is towards physical attacks.
 * MR (Magical Resistance)
 * Determines how resistant a character is towards magical attacks.
 * WM (Winds of Magic)
 * A statistic exclusive to spellcasters, which essentially determines the amount of times they can cast magic spells to turn the tides of battle.
 * When a spellcaster's Winds of Magic points are depleted, they have to wait for them to recharge within moments.
 * This statistic does not affect regular magical attacks, which are used in several characters' basic attacks.
 * Moves that utilize Winds of Magic are listed in the characters' move list.
 * MP (Magical Potency)
 * Determines the potency of defensive or utility buffs and debuffs inflicted by spells.
 * BR (Block Resistance)
 * Determines the increase in physical, magical, or both resistances altogether when a character utilizes a block.
 * Characters with shields usually have higher block resistance.
 * BP (Block Points)
 * Determines how long characters can maintain their block against incoming attacks.
 * When a character's block points run out due to constant attack from the enemy, the character is momentarily exposed and cannot block for a number of seconds.
 * Much like the Winds of Magic, a character's block points can be replenished by waiting it out.
 * A character may still block despite the ongoing block point replenishment, but does not provide the same amount of block resistance as a regular block would with full block points.
 * BD (Block Damage)
 * Determines the amount of block points a character depletes by attacking the enemy while they're blocking.
 * Characters with greater size and mass are more likely to have greater block damage.
