What should’ve been an interesting conflict between two very aggressive factions turns into a cakewalk due to Warhammer II’s lack of diplomacy nuance. This coupled with expansions such as “The Prophet and The Warlock” makes “The Shadow & The Blade” a solid, albeit disappointing entry in the Total War: Warhammer II saga.

ExcellentCreative Assembly delivers one of the best DLC packs for the Total War: Warhammer series yet.
Is Malus Darkblade done justice? As a character, yes. But while his campaign is decent, Snikch's is one of the weaker we've seen in these Lord packs, lacking some of CA's usual focus in mechanics and theme.
