Final Liberation: Warhammer Epic 40,000

Look I love this game. It's not very hi-tech in terms of graphics etc but it's a fantastic rendition of the tabletop game and I don't seem to ever get tired of it. There's a fantastic selection of units and tactics to chose from and it's also got some reasonably decent cut scene films. The totally open nature of how you tackle the game - you can decide yourself how to approach the big map, how to create your armies, how to hone your tactics and so forth - so much different to so many 'on rails' games these days. Look it won't be for everyone I absolutely realise this - but if you like strategy tactical games it's definitely worth a try and if you 'get' it you'll have hours of fun.

It runs good in Windows 7, but in Google you could search for Windows 10 fixes. It is funny to play with friends to simulate a dices board game.

The game works inclucing the videos, it's pretty unstable, crashing to desktop every hour or so. It's just not a very good game, the balance is all over the place. As an example: The Ork lifta droppa weapon is an instant kill against anything that isn't a titan but does literally nothing against titans so slowly over time you make more and more of your force titans. Units have low chances to hit and rng seems to be buggy in that it rolls low a lot of time. Your army can fire for an entire turn and literally hit nothing. There's no options to impact that. If you play through the campaign that can be fun. If you have fond memories of playing this when you were younger I would suggest leaving it alone.

Having played this at the time and loved it (was a 40k nut as a teen) I have been massively dissapointed that in the couple of times I've tried to play it since the cutscenes need to be disabled. I gave the GOG version a punt on the off chance they'd fixed the issue and they had. The cutscenes are pretty much the best thing about this game. The game itself is pretty much classic Epic 40k but on a computer. It's clunky and slow, but this is a nostaglia title, so all it has to do is work as well as it used to (which was always clunky and slow) and I'm ecstatic. A few stability issues when using titans in combat (invariably crashed when I tried combat between a reaver titan and an ork battle fortress). That and ork fighta bombas are now impossible to shoot down.
