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.

windows 7

Tried to install this on 3 window 7 machines.It will not even install (it says something about '/' or some other problem in installation). Final liberation has this problem as well-but will play after some fiddling. Quite upset as i bought this on launch day and it has still not been patched.

Best W40k game of its time.

Today we have Rogue Trader, Darktide, and this game's sequel, Chaos Gate: Daemonhunters. The 1990s had Chaos Gate, and they were lucky to, it's great even today. This was the most ambitious and successful attempt at bringing the 40k setting to life at the time. Fully rendered and voice acted cutscenes, customizable Space Marine squads with bolters, flamers, plasma guns, etc. controllable Dreadnoughts, Rhinos, Predators, all lovingly animated in an XCOM-like tactical strategy game. The heavy footsteps of the Terminators, the beautiful chanting soundtrack, the passionate yelling about purging heresy whenever your marines shoot, this game was clearly made with passion for the IP, and all that only 12 years after the IP was first published. After the first mission you quickly start controlling multiple squads at once, which starts to feel like an entire army. You start getting Techmarines, Librarians with Psyker powers, and choose between melee and ranged squads. You throw grenades, set traps and explode environmental hazards. You can feel this is a quality strategy game right off the bat. So I 100% recommend it, in the 90s, today, and in the future too.

First playing in 2025

I started playing WH40K games with dawn of war and loved that game. I needed some low fi games for my laptop and grabbed this based on the reviews. It really does hold up so long after release! After reading the manual to understand the UI I have had a lot of fun and the graphics are charming.

First Warhammer game.

This is my first ever Warhammer 40,000 game and i find it a very solid turn based strategy game. You have squads specialized in tasks and each squad member has a name, you can choose their equipment and even switch them between squads to make a team with the max AP possible. The map has levels you can switch at any time with the keyboard, like, you can have a fight in level 2 and then press 4 to see how things are going at that level. The space marines can walk, crouch and run, look around and carry destructive weapons and grenades. Also they can interact with the map making the interaction button available when it is possible. A true gem of old. For me it is just a very enjoyable turn based game i would recommend to anyone who likes this kind of games.
