Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate

Fun game, its aesthetics, score and gameplay are solid. In my opinion, one of the best games of WH40k.

At the currrent time of writting 1/14/24 on windows 11 it runs like a champ. Thanks GOG for bringing this classic back to life. So many good memeries playing this with my dad when I was a wee lad. Just as good as I remeber

Works great on win 7 and 8. On Windows 10 it does not work at all.

Despite being a game from '98, the graphics are acceptable. The game requires very complex thinking and strategic planning. A relic from a time before the Warhammer 40000 title was diluted. The soundtrack is likely the best W40k game soundtrack (if we don't count the Ultramarines movie) even though the singers have problems with pronuncing the latin words (you won't notice if you're american) and issues with the proper inflection of latin words.

This game is a descendant of the X-Com franchise, to the point it has almost the exact same gamplay elements. The most notable difference is that the base management has been removed. On the other hand, the combat side of the gamplay has been enhanced with more weapons, more kinds of units, a focus on melee combat, a more detailed experience system and psychic powers. The result is a Warhammer 40K X-Com game, where you face Chaos forces using the Space Marine arsenal. If you are a fan of X-Com or Warhammer 40K, this game is a must.
