Final Liberation: Warhammer Epic 40,000

You can't play this game, at least on Win10. Crashes at launch.

A great game I owned ages ago, but it may not work on modern systems. Windows 10 64 bit, does not work "as is" for me. There may be a fix somewhere on the internet, but it does not work "out of the box" for me.

it keeps on making this "ping" sound after the company logo shows and then its just black the only way to exit it is by pressing windows key please help me so that i can play

Pretty retro these days, but a glorious strategy game and a great look into 90's Warhammer 40k. Though it's named Epic 40,000 to time in with the 3rd edition release back in the late 90's, it has a lot more in common with the older editions, with alot of lost classic Orc and Imperial units represented from the late 80's and early 90's. The campaign is a good challenge, and I really enjoy the map based system, with some hard decisions on where you attack and where you supply. Simple decisions, but hard, because the game does not hold your hand - the Orcs are unrelenting and some of the later battles are very difficult. I like the way it feels like a table top game when you're playing it, you can almost hear the dice rolling. The units are pretty well balanced for the most part. Where the game tends to break is in skirmish at higher point levels, where the Orc AI will spam about a 100 tanks, and there isn't much you can do as all that firepower comes in. Keep it around the 3-4k mark though, and the armies are well balanced and you can find some challenge. Special mention to the cutscenes. So retro. So old school Warhammer. And so heavy metal. I love it. This was the setting I grew up with ha! Before the setting took itself very seriously. There hasn't really been a 40k strategy game since that allows you to field hundreds of tanks and infantry like this. If you can get past the retro presentation, or if that is exactly what you're after like me, then you'll find a gem of a 40K game here.

And to this day, it remains the only game in which they do. Final Liberation has quite a few issues(balance favours titans, as vehicles are too weak, there is some "army scaling" involved), but there is really no game like it that would capture the feel of Space Marines(ie, Epic 2nd edition) fights. The game system is a weird hybrid between epic and Steel Panthers, but it works. The cutscenes are pretty atmospheric, being FMV. Slitherine has not been able to reach the quality of this game when it comes to single player campaign. It is also one of the only games in which you can play Imperial Guard with some supporting Space Marines. Highly recommended if you are into 40K!
