So
,... with the current mixed review (as of the 26th March 2017), I feel I should place my opinion down on the table aswell.

If you are a Warhammer 40k fan then I highly recommend you at leat give this game a try. Despite the negative reviews (which are more than understandable), this game deserves a better reputation. The negative reviews stem from the bad controls, possible visual strain and bad audio with the melee. Not only that but the loadout system is quite bad as you have a cap of 1000 LP which sounds a lot but for classes like the Devastators whose weapons normally cost about 500LP, it's a very small amount. If you have played the tabletop version of Warhammer (like me), then this might not seem to bad for you as it is similar to what you might bring into the battle.

Going past the minor negatives, the main negative that many argue about is the melee combat. You have one of three options:
-Spam light attack so they can only parry and counter-attack with light strikes
-Get stuck in a loop of getting kicked/punched/parried and never be able to move
-Kill yourself or get others to kill you
This combat can be fixed and balanced so I'm relatively fine with the combat (unless you are Eldar then I hate you with a dying passion because of their OP melee. Although you are weak so...have fun with a bolter to the face :) )

My personal gripe with the game is the Space Wolves. I personally do not like their voices and although I tolerate them, I think there should be a voice changing option so you have more variety.

The good points:
-Accurate with the lore
-Great art style
-Nice customisation to weapons and appearance (although expensive)
-An overall great game despite being rushed

For those who are looking at the future of the game, there will be the inclusion of "Elite" classes. From my educated guess I think it will include Terminators but we will just have to wait and see...


If I had to rate this game, I would give it an 8/10
