Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate

Exactly what this platform is for.

This game is very janky at times, but it absolutely dripping with personality, charm and 2nd edition Oldhammer 40k style. The art is great, the voice lines are cheesy but memorable, and the soundtrack is excellent and befits the setting well. The Xcomlike format works incredibly well, as you sort your Space Marines into squad roles befitting their stats, become attached to them, promote them to Terminators, rage when they die to 20 consecutive frag grenades from a bunch of cultists you didn't see, then name your IRL character models after them to immortalize their mighty deeds and ignominious deaths. Uh, the game isn't balanced either. My friend's campaign ended with him juicing up his best Assault Marine with gear and psychic blessings to give him a ton of bonus AP, and sending this absolute gigachad sailing across the huge, fortified chaos wasteland of the final level with his jump pack, kicking down Lord Zymran's door and absolutely murdering him on Turn 1.

First I got the game to work by installing the game ouside of the GOG game folder. Example: In my case I installed it in Program Files (x86) in the C drive. I can play past the first mission and the game as normal. I like the game it rewards you for using good movement and tactics. A disorganized army is a dead army. Managing your marines, leveling them up, and making sure they're equipped properly is critical to playing the game and could screw you over later down the line if progressed improperly. Issues come when trying to figure out who is who in your army. Everyone looks the same in there blue armor with little variations that it can take awhile to figure out who is who on the battlefield. This is where being able to recolor marines would be helpful or squad markings. Also this game needed to add a different enemy faction to the game for you to fight like Orks or Eldar because it does get repetitive, but this is the best Ultramarine game for the best Ultramarine experience.

One of my all time favourite games. Did a massive happy dance when I saw it on here. However I can not get it to work, I get 3 grainy images across the top of my screen during the intro sequences and then a black screen at the main title. I can however hear the music and sound effects... just cant see anything :(((

Just goes to show a great game nevers ages! Been having a good time playing this game, I can remember playing for the first time back in 1998 and it still stands tall in the face of other 40k games. Loved it than as well as now. Great Game! Best Regards
