User reviews & Ratings

This is an incredibly good game. A few things: 1. I know nothing about the Warhammer universe. Never played a table top game, read a book, played a video game, prior to this game. 2. I love a good large scale game with scope for different story lines, and tactical combat. So, I bought it on the back of really positive (mostly) reviews. In the process I read websites, forums, guides and help. I noticed in the process a reasonable undercurrent of disdain (hate?) for Owlcat and the 'bugs' in their games, and in reference to Rogue Trader. I laughed at this. Yes, I've only played this one title, but those feelings are ridiculous - at least in the context of Rogue Trader. Seems to me none of those people every played a Bathesda game if they're moaning about bugs and lack of finish... This game, after all the hours I've played, was staggeringly un-glitchy given it's complexity, and story-line gymnastics given choices matter. It's not perfect, and if you wanted to get an ending and missed a less than obvious quest you may never want to go back far enough to change that, but move on. No different from life, right? We don't nail everything, and the story is what it is as a result. The play is fantastic. The options of builds, synergy etc are all a lot of fun to experiment with. Companion synergy (and not), skill builds, item builds. It's. Just. Endless. And... there is not only 'one build' that works. Too many games suffer from that - lots of options but in the end only 1 play style is valid if you want to win. This game absolutely does NOT suffer from that. Which, in itself, shows how well the Dev team did. Is it completely balanced? Possibly not. Some games are easy early game, hard late - others, vice versa. This one, if you get good synergy is definitely easier in late game. But frankly, I loved discovering that with Cassia, a specific Iconoclast skill on my RT and the right build on Marazhai i could win any late game fight before the enemy even had a turn. Including the final boss battle (before the boss froze Marazhai for all of half a round, and then I finished him off). That was simply an insane way to just waltz through late game challenges. 'Here, hold my beer, i'll be back in a moment before the enemy even blinks'. It's fun, it's deep, it has replay, it's great value. If you like large-scale, choices-matter, highly deep tactical battle games, this is right up there with the best of them. And it was a fabulous intro the Warhammer universe for me to throw into the bargain. And the design and artwork was astonishingly impressive. Two thumbs up. Highly recommend. Worth the price of admission!

Its silly, over the top. Any shreds of balance is thrown out the window by the time you reach Chapter 2 (and thats okay, because its fun to blast entire rooms with bolter salvos). The game fills you with a desire to explore the stars, find ancient, alien civilisations... and then obliterate them for not being as great as humankind. Abhor the mutant. Abhor the xenos. Kill the heretic. Trust only the Emperor. Simple as.

A literally staggeringly deep and rich CRPG with, in my opinion, the best and most textured portrayal of the 40K universe in existence. Combat becomes ridiculous and grindy at a certain point. Certain characters fall flat more often than not. Certain narrative elements hook left and end in weird places. Sometimes, large chunks of content are locked behind save-or-suck die rolls--this last point is not necessarily a bad thing... But the story, the story, the characters, the themes, and the story. The writing's greatest strength is that it is never embarrassed of what it portrays--no Marvel-esque quips or hanging lampshades; rather, nearly every preposterous grimdark concept is leisurely carried to its most logical extreme, to tremendous effect. 5 stars. Unbelievable quality. Will carry it with me for many years to come, I am sure.

tldr; buy the game its a good CRPG with W40k lore Good points : - Lore, writting, and voice acting are S-tier - Large depth in character builds and combat talents - A lot of option in how to approach combat - Long game (I like long games, still no end in sight after 40+ hours. edit : final playtime of 220h for my first campaign, longest game ive ever played, loved it) - A lot of choices with actual real consequences in gameplay and story (not just dialogue options) - Very cool and original space combat - Interesting approach to trade - A lot of QoL details (skill check in dialogue are automatically using the higher skill in your party, you have a clear vision indicator of your ennemies in combat, you can preview vision and abilities when you select the tile you want to move to...) What is mid : - Would have loved an "overwatch" ability - Maps feel a little bit empty in content, no real exploration, and level map is very meh - I know balance is complicated, but playing less than "hard" difficulty feels like cheating (hard is kinda fine, more is straight up unfair) - If your party has a lot of combat options, ennemies sometimes feel a bit dull - No stealth mechanic Bad points (nothing is a deal breaker for me, buy the game) : - Cover should be way more important and feels like it has not been fully integrated with other combat mechanics, arenas are sometimes... debatable. For instance cover bonus isnt dynamic, you either have full bonus or no bonus. As long as you're not on the same horizontal line or behind the ennemy, they have full bonus, even if you are right on the corner under the line (which in XCOM for instance is a flank shot) - Camera is sometimes janky - Not a lot of verticality in the maps and arenas - Minimap (M) is straight up ass - Inventory management is bad - Visual bugs [edit : section added] What is hopefully going to get patched/fixed : - Combat cursor sometimes janky when it has to deal with elevation - Overall balance (some builds are just OP and you often use the same combo with each character) - Camera placement and optimisation of environment assets so they disappear efficiently - Cover mechanic - Better minimap Buy if : - You like/love Warhammer 40k (++) - You like turn-based combat (+) - You like nerding out on character builds (+++) - You like a good, well-written story (+++) - You like meaningful decisions in CRPG (+++) Similar to : - Wasteland 3 (+++) - Divinity Original Sin (++) - Baldur's Gate 3 (+) DISCLAIMER do not expect the magic of BG3 which is one of the best games ever created (10/10 in my book) Rating (at 40h ingame) : Solid 7.5/10. Rating (after 1st campaign, 200h+) : 8,5/10 could be a 9 but too much jank still. This is the kind of game where you really feel the love, attention and ambition of the devs, and where you wish they hade more time and more money to accomplish their vision (give us more content for the love of god please more content, more traders, bigger maps). A few weak points but the overall balance makes the experience enjoyable. Hopefully this is the solid base of a long series of W40k CRPG. Please make more games like this. Price : 50€ is a tad much to my taste, 30 to 40 range looks better. Under 30 just buy it.

word of advice: pick a lane and STICK TO IT. don't try to mix dogmatic/iconoclast/heretic. there are not enough points available in the game and you can kinda get shafted by this in the ending if you haven't reached rank 3 of a specific alignment. fun little CRPG that gets a bit rushed towards the end, but the first 3 acts are really super and are a great introduction to the 40k verse.
