—Enter the Warhammer Fantasy world in Warhammer: Dark Omen, a classic real-time strategy game known for its tactical battles, atmospheric campaign, and cult-classic status.
Warhammer: Dark Omen (Classic)
SteamOriginally released in 1998, Warhammer: Dark Omen has quietly earned its place as a beloved classic in the Warhammer Fantasy universe. Its atmospheric storytelling, early use of 3D battlefields, and memorable characters left a gentle but lasting impression on many players. Decades later, it has become a cherished cult classic that players still speak of with admiration and fond nostalgia. This is the first time the game is available on Steam, with adjustments to support modern systems (see "WHAT’S INSIDE THIS RELEASE" in the section below).
Please note: The game isn't compatible with Steam Deck.

In a war-torn world, mighty armies clash to decide the fate of imperiled realms. Brave warriors march forward accompanied by fearless heroes, terrifying monsters and devastating machines of war. Swarms of arrows darken the sky, swords clash against shields, and bloody banners are held aloft in victory, amongst the carnage of the battlefield.
Enter the world of Warhammer and experience iconic real-time strategic combat. Dark Omen casts you in the role of Commander Morgan Bernhardt, leader of the Grudgebringer mercenary army. Command regiments of cavalry, infantry and archers as well as wizards, war machines and monsters in an epic struggle to wipe the hordes of darkness from the face of the Old World.
This edition modernizes Warhammer: Dark Omen with 4K and widescreen support, smoother visuals, and significantly improved stability. Startup issues, crashes, and compatibility problems have been fixed, and overall performance and reliability on modern Windows systems are much better than before.
