Truly and amazing game, had so much fun. Only complaint is the massive paywall for characters that makes the game feel unfinished

Nov. 2024

Good game to kill some time, reasonable number of factions (unfortunately most are dlc). Still fun after a few years, there are a good number of mods in the workshop to add on if wanted. Price may be a little high after all the time but well worth it if picked up on a sale.

Nov. 2024

If you like turn-based games like civ but focus on combat in an awesome franchise I would recommend! Like civs however they over charge for the extra factions but fun. Still getting the hang of it but hotseat and coop play are great with friends.

Been playing this in anticipation of Zephon. This is a great 4X without a lot of the fluff that goes into other 4X games. This is certainly one of the best Warhammer 40K games out there in addition to just being an awesome war-focused 4X. Lots of different units to play with, lots of different factions to play with (from DLC) that are often on massive sale. The AI is pretty good; it puts up a decent challenge. One big plus is that there are lots of movement and deployment options, so getting units to where they need to be is a bit easier than with normal 1-unit-per-tile 4X games. A solid recommendation from me for this game.

Jan. 2024

Plays just like a Civilization game but in the 41st millennium there is ONLY WAR! No economic or peaceful victory. The DLC costs are way too high, that's its biggest downfall. $15 for a faction is steep. If it was 5-10 that would be more reasonable. I recommend playing it with friends on the fast or very fast speed. Bots don't get interesting util very hard difficulty in my opinion. Besides the DLC price tags (I went to kinguin for better prices) this game is solid and a lot of fun.
