Nurgle characters look particularly gruesome, while the Orcs are hulking and vicious. Of particular note is the commentary on games, a bastardization of commentary duos in the real world, although the preview build does have some repeated lines of dialogue that come up a little too often - something that will hopefully be expanded in the final version.īlood Bowl 3 also looks the part for the tabletop game, with character models that match Warhammer's Old World. Blood Bowl has always leaned heavily into comedy, far beyond the tongue-in-cheek satire that coincides with Warhammer properties in general, and the preview build of Blood Bowl 3 seems to match this well.

Something that helps is the game's sense of charm. Turnovers can be fast and frequent, reliant on the player's aversion or enticement for risky plays, and its faithful adaptation of the tabletop game's rules means that the random nature of dice roles - like many other adaptations of tabletop games - keeps things fresh with each match.

The game's grid-based system translates well into a sports experience, and although a turn-based set-up of course isn't as fluid as a real time adaptation (something that was in the first Blood Bowl title by Cyanide, but dropped in later entries), it doesn't stop Blood Bowl 3 from still being enjoyable to play.
