This game is amazing! I am a recent fan of Warhammer and got plenty of warhammer games so far, i am moderate fan of turn based games, but this game is incredible. Super fun, has amasing music and voicing, the visuals are incredible and overall for this game price ... i am recommending this game with both hands! Great value for money!
ps: if you can get this game on a discount that is when this game becomes a must and a steal!
This is the first review I have written because this game truly deserves it. This is an incredibly interesting, and fun game to play, even when you don't know all the WH40K lore like me. The game simply draws you in with it's story, lore, mindblowing music and intersting gameplay, the basics of which are easy to learn and give you a ton of space to experiment to find the playstlye and squad that best suits you. The missions are short enough to keep in the moment, and always keep you on your toes, because the objective can change from round to round. Even a simple scouting mission can turn into a frantic escape, during which you are fighting just to stay alive long enough to evacuate your valuable Tech-priests.
I thoroughly recommend this game, even to non-WH40k fans! Go play it, and have fun!
Comparing this to XCOM isn't fair, as this is obviously a more budget oriented offering. But as a WH40K offering, this is pretty much exactly what I expect. There are a lot of qualities to love here; art direction, sound effects and soundtrack in particular are strong points. I feel quite immersed as I play.
Obviously this isn't the most refined tactics game in the world, but it offers plenty of challenge and fun times.
The price is pretty decent for the 15-10 hour offering I've had so far.
If you are into tactics games, I'd reccomend this game if you like the youtube videos. Mandaloregaming's review is pretty good.
If you already are neck deep into the lore and love WH40K in general this is a pretty safe buy.
This game is beyond any indie 40k game I've experienke. By the will of the machine god, the Omnissiah who knows all tekhnology these new mechanics are truly sacred.
Instead of accuracy there is range and line of sight. Instead of cover you have Skitarri, lobotomized human machine hybrids to serve as fodder for your valuable tech priests. There are many more things here but my machine spirit warns me I must go shortly lest me = 0.
The environment looks, the sound and voices divine. The music however is beyond even the Omnissiah Itself.
This humble servitor is pleasantly surprised with the program.
I was on the edge buying this on GOG because of the localisation issue (One could not change language ingame and was stuck with subpar translations of an otherwise well written story). Well, this has been fixed! Chose the language you desire from the ingame options menu.
Furthermore it runs smooth on my notebook too, which only brings an Nvidia MX 250 2 GB card to the necrons tomb (Below minimum system requirements).
- The mechanics bring a smile to every turn based strategy fan
- High replayability
- High customisation of units ...
- ... and difficulty settings (from Snotling-wuss to Emperors-iron man)
- Intriguing story
- Great music
- Interesting voiceovers
