The second Faction Focus gameplay video for Frontier Developments’ real-time strategy game Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin is now available, spotlighting the brutal and cunning Orruk Kruleboyz. Featuring new gameplay footage of the Kruleboyz’ savage squads and lumbering monsters in action, players can take charge of this scrappy faction when the game launches on PlayStation® 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
See the video at the links below:
Trickery and cunning tactics are the Kruleboyz’ speciality. This swamp-dwelling Warclan of Orruks call the Bestial Realm of Ghur their home, and they’ll stop at nothing to defend it. In Realms of Ruin, the Orruk Kruleboyz are led by the devious Killaboss Dankfeer, whose goal is to bring destruction to the Stormcast Eternals’ fortress settlement of Harkanibus and establish himself as the dominant force of Ghur’s wildlands. The Kruleboyz will be playable as part of Realms of Ruin‘s cinematic singleplayer campaign, which features multiple factions, as well as in multiplayer.
Basic squad types include the Beast-skewer Killbows whose long-range artillery can dent opponents’ health with their poisoned bolts, as well as the numerous Hobgrot Slittaz, who can expand their ranks as they eliminate their enemies. Larger monsters support their relentless assault: the Marshcrawla Sloggoth is a bipedal hunter manned by a band of grots armed with nets, ready to ensnare even the most mobile combatants in Ghur. The devastating Mirebrute Troggoth, meanwhile, manned by a Kruleboyz rider, can deliver a frenzied and devastating attack to all within range – including other Orruks.
This video also delves into Realms of Ruin‘s competitive multiplayer, which players recently sampled during the Open Beta. Available in both 1v1 and 2v2 modes, the goal is to dominate the battlefield against warlords from across the world on a variety of maps and to turn the tide of war in the players’ favour. With each faction offering different strengths and weaknesses, the key is to capture Arcane Conduit resource points, unleash tougher squads than the enemy, upgrade and specialise forces via the tech tree, and control more Victory Points to win.
The Orruk Kruleboyz are just one of four factions coming to Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin, inspired by their tabletop counterparts from Games Workshop’s fantasy universe. Additional factions and ways to play will be revealed soon.
