## What is Talisman?

A grand strategic war game set in the future of the 31st Millenium. You fight as powerful Warlords, across the galaxy, building vast armies and armadas, either in the service of the Emperor of Mankind or the Warmaster Horus and the forces of Chaos.

8/10 “One of the best touchscreen games on iPhone and iPad for fans of this kind” Kick My Geek

4/5 “It’s a solid re-skin of a classic and it’s a lot of fun to crush your friends as a Primarch or Hero from The Horus Heresy Novels.” Bell of Lost Souls
8/10 “Delightful game, beautiful, effectively supplied and simple (due to tutorials) that will appeal to many beginners" - Blue Bird 

"This reimagining of the classic Talisman gameplay in the Warhammer 40k universe is one of the most gorgeous digital board games I have ever seen." - Brad Cummings, Boardgamegeek.com

"Fans of both Talisman and Warhammer 40,000, will like this one" - Pocket Tactics  
Talisman: The Horus Heresy is a fun new way to interact with the Universe of Warhammer 40,000. If you are familiar with The Horus Heresy, you will find new ways to explore it; if you are a newcomer, this game will teach you all about the characters, planets, campaigns and the complex machinery of war employed in this Epic struggle of Good and Evil. 

Up to four players may take control of one or more of the galaxy’s greatest heroes or most notorious villains. It’s a combative game and players take the side of either traitor or loyalist, these Warlords form vast companies of Space Marines, battalions of tanks and battlefleets of Spacecraft. They are the most powerful beings in the Galaxy and their followers are legion.

This is a digital board game based on the Talisman rule system and set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, during the cataclysmic events of the Horus Heresy. It’s a unique adaptation of Talisman that has been tailored specifically for digital platforms and scaled up exponentially, exploring not a kingdom but a whole galaxy in the 31st Millennium. No longer will you be fighting for the Crown of Command, but for the very future of humanity…

### 5/5 — Welcome back

*2026-07-16*

I was mad when this game left the store years ago because I couldnt get all the dlc. Now its back thanks to Warhammer Classics programme and the dlc cheap to get. Thank you Games Workshop and Nomad games.👍

### 1/5 — Other games that are free play way much better than this and plenty of em are not broken.

*2026-06-27, version 8.2*

As stated, this is a poor game. Definitely extremely poor especially the value. The developer somehow believes that attaching the name warhammer makes a game. It does not developer. Not only to mention the repeat never ending crashes. It is terrible it needs to be taken off the App Store. It simulates poorly the battles, it does not make sense. You can make out ur guys worst game on the App Store. Bar none. Even worst game for warhammer on the App Store. I’d advise to have this game taken down, modernized and look decent I advise people to download other apps such as Horus heresy Tacticus. This game should not be on the App Store, it crashes, it doesn’t try using graphics, very poor game especially when u add warhammer tie.

### 5/5 — Let me buy iaps

*2026-05-29*

NOW

### 4/5 — Great twist on Talisman

*2020-05-21, version 8.2*

I really like the changes from the traditional Talisman game. Definitely had a 40k feel.

### 2/5 — Would be perfect but for crashes

*2020-04-18, version 8.2*

Plz fix all the crashes!

### 2/5 — No idea how to play this

*2020-03-19, version 8.2*

Love 40K but this game is just confusing. Little idea what I’m meant to do, tutorial not adequate. And it keeps crashing, and you can’t avoid it when it happens due to the actions of a computer controlled character as it just repeats when it you load it up again. That this still happens years after feedback here about it doesn’t speak well of the support. Avoid

### 1/5 — Unplayable: Crashes on Standoffs

*2020-03-01, version 8.2*

I really wish I could love this game, but on my very first play through, at the very end of the game, two AI warlords had a tied battle (standoff), and the game crashed. It consistently crashes there since the game uses preset rolls, so the file becomes unplayable. 

Started a new game- same issue occurred just a few turns in. The sad part is, this does not appear to be a new bug. If this error gets fixed, I’d definitely rate this game much higher, but don’t be like me and buy a game before realizing it doesn’t just crash randomly, but consistently. Not sure how it can still be up on the store in its current state, but REALLY hoping the developers take another look at what could have been a great variation on a board game classic.

### 2/5 — Слишком часто выкидывает

*2020-02-23*

Игра отличная, русский язык есть. НО! Вылетает очень часто, иногда вылет никак не обойти, приходится начинать партию заново.

### 4/5 — Fix bugs

*2019-08-17*

Ребята пожалуйста вернитесь к игре 
Пофиксите баги, а то вылетает, обидно, а игра классная

### 2/5 — Game breaking bug

*2019-08-04, version 8.2*

Game breaking bug, standoffs (ties dice rolls) cause game to crash. Unplayable afterward as the game repeats the same dice rolls. Has to be fixed for playability.
