Great turn-based strategy game
I received a discount code from GOG for 70% off this game, and I'm glad I took advantage of it! This game has great atmosphere, adheres to Warhammer 40k canon, and is addictive. There's a learning curve, and the first game or 2 may result in abject failure, as mine did; however, I recommend playing through blind before reading any strategy guides or watching any lets plays, because you'll learn quite a bit and have a great time, even if you're failing. It requires you to pay attention to small details, and it pays to take your time and move in slow, deliberate steps when playing battles and when upgrading characters. Focusing on the rewards for missions is important, as some of the items you can earn early on will likely remain a standard for much of the game. I like how much attention was paid to the rules of Warhammer 40k tabletop, as it almost feels like I'm playing it, except for the layout of the turns, which is apparently based on speed or initiative - it isn't explained what criteria is used for who goes first, except when the Necrons awaken to always go first. I especially like that it isn't another X-COM clone, as: cover doesn't exist, and only line of sight is observed; there is no percentage to hit, only a range of damage, which is subtracted from the target's armor; and the opportunity melee attack when enemies move away from melee range. I would buy this game at full price and not regret it. I only wish the manual was included, if it has one; a game this in depth should have a large manual to explain the mechanics.
Hilft dir das weiter?
