Pretty decent approximation of the system, very fun and rewarding turn based strategy. If you liked Xcom, you'll probably like this. If you like Warhammer, OFC you'll like this.

But uhhh... AdMech update when?

Best 40k turn-based simulator.....period. Black Lab Games did an absolutely phenomenal job and I have faith that Slitherine will carry the torch. Bravo all around.

The game is getting better but, I want the continuation of adding more units to the game. Add more chaos god units( Nurgle , Slaanesh and Tzeetch) daemons and heretic space marine and dark mechanicus to the game. Add more space marine chapters, inquisition, imperial knights, grey knights and different imperial guard factions. More maps and game modes would also be a major aid in the game completion.

Currently the best recreation of the tabletop game (that or dawn of war). although there is a bit of a lack of progress, something to work towards. fun enough if you want to play a quick game every now and then.

Multiplayer is dead, game is alright for a while but pointless when half of the product you bought doesn't work

Cheaply made, turnbased game with a warhammer skin. Slightly more gameplay depth than a mobile game. Doesn't offer much challenge beyond garbage spawn location (many set well within range to attach from spawn) and timing. Super boring to sit through enemy turn as a dozen swarms attack your squads and their voice modulate grunts and groans. It got so bad, I started muting the computer's turn. Heck, one mission ambushed me and killed some of my units before my first turn on normal.

I really hope slitherine does something with this but I think we all know better. It has the graphics and semi decent AI I wish Gladius had but no depth (not to mention the usual paywall of death for the full game) Then I thought I would be able to play hot seat at home but you get 1 vs 1 and thats it no co-op anything no real cool features at all just a 1990s feel. Then dumb me thought the planetary mode was going to be like Soulstorm and I was going to get some real game-play but no just a weird super easy to program chess board lol gonna throw this in my large pile of garbage warhammer games made not to be good but to make money. I really think this was the last straw for me, the gaming industry has become corrupt and greedy and I no longer wish to contribute to it, after 30+ years of gaming I am washing my hands of it with disgust, distaste and disgruntlement

It was a cool idea but it's a bit clunky for my tastes and content deprived. Campaign didn't feel particularly well designed nor balanced to me.

Another 40k game to throw in the pile

If this is how table top version of warhammer 40k plays - thanks god I never got into it. Balance is astronomically terrible... my issues with the game

- you will loose even on easiest difficulty because some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ enemy unit can take down some of your toughest "yellow" or "purple" units in one turn
- there is absolutely no clear indicators what terrain gives cover or any other bonuses and yet somehow enemies are getting that green shield indicator filled easily and my guys - getting jack ♥♥♥♥
- basically the entire balance and indicators of what's what and what's effective against what. Total war warhammer at least shows that triangle above enemy units indicating what currently selected units are effective against and what better to be avoided
- you can't customize your army in terms of looks. It's either blood angels with one puny librarian from ultramarines or u get nothing

No point in specifying what I did like since it's more of an unrelated to gameplay bits like sound design and in general looks.

Bottom line if u're into tactical turn based stuff - probably play xcom 2 with warhammer mods. If you're a casual warhammer 40k fan - wait for space marine 2 or play vermintide / tw warhammer 3. Or maybe check that other one game similar to this one. Although based on what I've heard - that one is also for masochists.
