Wartorn is a top-down fantasy tactics game co-created by BioShock’s lead designer, inspired by a forgotten Bungie title where you command dwarves to blow up zombies

When was the first time you noticed physics in a video game? For me, it wasn’t bifurcating a headcrab-zombie with a saw blade in Half-Life 2, or seeing a Cleaner goon collapse into a stack of shelves in Max Payne 2. It was watching a bunch of zombie limbs roll down a hillside in Myth 2: Soulblighter. 

Bungie’s fantasy tactics game was best known for the chaos created by its bomb-throwing dwarves, and I distinctly recall being mesmerised by how their ordnance would scatter undead body parts across the game’s undulating pastoral landscapes.
