Description


Discover the grim dark universes of Warhammer where there is only war. From Warhammer 40,000 to Warhammer Fantasy and more - discover it all on GOG Warhammer Franchise page.

An Incendiary Clash with the Forces of Chaos!


Command a squad of up to 20 Space Marines and pursue the evil Chaos horde though the Warhammer 40,000 universe! CHAOS GATE is squad-level, turn-based tactical action that pits you against Chaos Lord Zymran, in an attempt unravel the mystery of an ancient relic.

Your command begins with a choice: pursue the game plot immediately or take on any number of random missions to gain experience and power for your squad. Whichever you choose, prepare for the unexpected – and tactical combat that’s utterly out of this world!

As SSI’s second entry in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, Chaos Gate marries the lore of the 40,000 universe with the strategic depth of an SSI game and creates an engaging experience that further glorifies the Emperor and the Adeptus Astartes’ Legacy.




  • Battle Chaos Space Marine forces and their daemonic allies across the galaxy in a Campaign of 15 linked scenarios or explore randomly generated missions to gain power for your Ultramarine troops.
  • Create and customize a squad from a Space Marine contingent of 50 different soldiers, each with unique characteristics and capabilities - including Terminators, Assault Marines and Devastator Squads.
  • Build custom missions with the extremely flexible Mission Editor.
  • Command the vehicles of the Warhammer 40,000 universe: Predator tanks, Rhino APCs, Land Speeders and Dreadnoughts.

Great Classic

I have enjoyed this game for many years and regularly revisit. Would recommend to anyone who likes TBS games & the Warhammer 40K series. It's also a LOT better than the follow up game for this entry -- Warhammer 40K Chaos Gate Daemonhunters.

Surprisingly Great

I'm only a few hours in but so far this is awesome. Performance wise it runs great right out of the box on a Windows 11 laptop with Intel HD graphics. I've had one crash when looting something but the game autosaves after every turn so no problem. The gameplay itself really holds up. I never played this when it was released and I didn't have very high expectations coming in. But, so far its a blast. The visuals still look great and its good fun blasting a chaos cultist into chunks with a bolter or melting a chaos marine into heretical slag with a plasma rifle. The sound design/track is great too. If you're familiar with xcom or something similar you'll be able to jump right in with little issue. I'm not sure exactly how long of legs the game has. I can see it getting repetitive rather easily. But it's more than worth the $5 or whatever its priced at.
