Dec. 2024

An experience that is very close to the tabletop gaming edition with the Army Size Point System and Combat Rules. Great for people who are just starting out in the franchise and not yet ready to start the hobby of buying, assembling, and painting the miniatures but want to have a taste of how the battles are like.

Simplified version of a 40k Warhammer Table Top Game. If this sentence appeals to you, you will like this game. Community helps give this game life with Narrative campaigns. Devs continue to add factions post launch.

Sept. 2024

Played around 40hs on Microsoft Store where I got an offer with all the DLCs. So far a couple of things I noticed: - First and foremost, for someone who haven't played any 40k game before I had my fair share of fun, the game is intuitive enough not to feel frustrated and allows you to build an army that matches your playstyle. There is some replayability with the custom campaings, maps, planetary supremacy and multiplayer but we'll get to that later. - Now the campaing: story easy enough to follow even for someone who knows basic bits of the lore, still it suffers that most missions end up being the same: secure x objective. Now kill all remaining forces. If I have to end up killing them all, then why don't we skip me having to rush to certain point just to discover it doesn't change anything at the end, save leaving me in a rather stretched position? - On the same page, I've read on reviews about people savescumming to get through the missions... while it's certain difficult to fanthom what you will need for each mission (and fog of war tends to mislead you on where to send your troops), I've found that once you get the tanks every mission gets easy enough as you become a wall (go intercessor - tank - intercessor for the first line, then battle priests with techmarines, hellblasters for the third line. Finally get some jetpack boys with a liutenant and a librarian for rushing/flanking priority targets and you're good to go). At the end with three tanks and the composition I proposed you have enough units to go 3 ways and even mobile teams to support them. Early missions on pletary suppremacy with the sisters of battle against the demons of khorne were harder than the final campaing mission. - Planetary supremacy: nothing much to add here, adds replayability while letting you contend with 2 other factions for the plannet. Only 2 actions allowed per turn (be it claim a tile, upgrade your faction or restore your army) and unfortunately it's only against the AI. Which honestly sucks as you can't play with more than one friend at the same time, and that's only in pvp in multiplayer. - Multiplayer: similar to the tabletop experience, you can already imagine what's here - Custom editor: not a lot of variety to customize really, you can't change the models, add custom sounds or cinematics which honestly would give custom campaings a much needed inmersion since even on the oficial campaing is only a pic with a background dialog and not much else. Overall: Pros: + Entertaining gameplay + Plenty of factions for the multiplayer + Good quality and runs fluidly + Intuitive interface + There's some level of replayability Cons: - No coop mode, neither a chance to play with more than one person at the same time. - Campaing missions are all the same - Custom editor not complete enough (it's debatable since... well it's a wargame based game, not an actual rts. Same with the campaing complain) - No mod support - Plenty of factions bought via dlc, which can be expensive Overall: 6/10. Has the potential to be a 10, but runs short in a lot of aspects and can be very expensive for what it can offer. Adding mods could become an easily 8/10 or more, since that could fix most of the problems.

Having fun with the campaign. If you want to launch games with 2/20+ factions and sells each faction for half the game price with no campaign. The base game or the dlcs should be cheap. If you want all content for gladius and battlesector you might as well buy half an miniture army.

July 2024

Battlesector isn't a true adaptation of the tabletop game but it is a fun turn based game set in the 40K universe. It's still currently being developed by Slitherine studios now after Black Lab Games ended work on it in 2023 with the release of the T'au DLC. To clarify for anyone looking for information about what the base game has. Without any DLC's the game has a Blood Angel campaign which is fun. The other faction is Tyranids who can be played in skirmish against the AI or multiplayer but there is no Tyranid campaign. The DLC's also lack any campaigns for them and so far they have added T'au, Ork, Necron, Sisters of Battle and Khorne daemons as factions. All factions can be played in the planetary supremacy mode which is a singleplayer mode where you can fight against one or two AI opponents to control a planet (not sure if you are fighting over Baal or not in this mode). All factions can be played here and is where you will get most of your gameplay from the DLC if you don't like multiplayer matches. Slitherine have mentioned a rework of the planetary supremacy mode with more map styles and campaign overview options in the future. If I had any personal gripes with the game it would be the lack of new units for the factions. Black Labs initially added two DLC packs that added more Blood Angel and Tyranid troops but none for the DLC factions unfortunately. The game also lacks units from each factions like the Orks lack numerous vehicles like Rukkatruck squiqbuggy's, Boomdakka snazzwagons, Killa Kans, Stompa's and the like. The same goes for the other factions, even the Space Marines lack other rhino variants like Vindicators, Bikers, Primaris Eliminators you get the idea. The rosters are decent but there will be gaps where you expect them to add these units in the future and hope they do because the actual combat is quite fun. Sounds are chunky, the battlefields are bloody messes in the aftermath, the voice work is good if not a tad repetitive at times. I like being able to setup overwatch shots and watch the charging units fall apart or being able to outflank a foe and get stuck in with some melee, it can be quite satisfying at times.
