I heard about this game through Mandalore and I was instantly hooked. My favorite Warhammer 40k faction, amazing OST and a genre I very much enjoy. Gameplay is a turn based strategy. Nothing more, nothing less. Difficulty can be modified to just what you want. After playing for while, you know where to spec your Tech-priests and make an overpowered class so there's a need for rebalancing. Mechanics are fun and well-crafted but there are enough random crits/weapons/ambushes to keep you on your toes. This game has a crazy replayabilty and every run is something new. Story is intriguing. No spoilers. OST is so good that I had to buy it, it elevates the atmosphere and is enjoyable enough to be listened outside of the game. Voice acting shocked me in a good way, very creative. This definitely an easy 5/5. Excellent WH40k game, great game in it of itself.
After 120 hours played, I think I can give a good assessment. Concentrating on the game itself, I'd say that "RPG" tag is rather misleading. This a turn based strategy dungeon crawler, honestly. There's a story going on but it's rather tertiary, you'll spend most of the time grinding in dim dungeons fighting monsters. Gameplay is RNG based and in enemy's favor but with good strategy, sheer will and bit of luck, it's beatable. Classes are balanced so picking a good team is crucial. It's challenging, rage-inducing and that makes every crit, every win so satisfying. All in all, 4/5 in my opinion. I recommend it but to a very specific group that most likely plays PoE hardcore self-found and grinds on Runescape. I knocked down my review because of recent developments. Redhook is stopping support (only most crucial updates will come) for DD on all platforms except Steam. This means you're buying here an aged game that won't get anymore DLCs. I assume this is because of a deal with Epic Games for DD2. I doubt I'll support Redhook in future but in a nutshell I really enjoy playing this game.
