Great game if you don't mind the space fleas and space ticks that come with playing the Space Wolves.

Ok, so you know Xcom enemy unknown or Xcom 2? You know how those games have squares were you move your units to and you have a percentage chance to hit the enemy each time you shoot? Apply all of the to Sanctus Reach, then add a little jank that somehow makes the game super charming and you get this game. The campaign just like a lot of games will ease you into things, starting you off with a small amount of space wolves to command and slowly unlocking new units as the game goes on. The whole thing doesn't feature much voice acting though and you can't play as the Ork side unless you go head to head against one of your friends or play the skirmish mode against the AI. Then you can play as the Ork faction. They seem a little underpowered compared to the space wolves though, which can be a little frustrating if you play against your friend. What about against the AI though? Buddy, if you face the AI in the skirmish mode I bet you can win as any faction on normal difficulty. They are so so so dumb. It makes really stupid decisions, it will trigger reaction fire from your units, and I once seen it run back and forth like a toddler at a choke point. The obvious move was shooting the rock in the way or going around but the AI ran its units back and forth like a 3 year old that just discovered its mother's lipstick and decided it was time to paint the hallway. In other words if you're like me and play this game to relax while having dinner you will have a great time. If you're here to flex your tactical mind, you need a friend cause the AI ain't gonna cut it. Oh yeah, 2 more downsides I really need to mention. this game really needs team colours. One time I was playing against the space wolves as the space wolves. I shot orbital rockets at my own men for 2 turns because I thought they were the enemy. Leman russ would not be proud!! Also a lot of the factions like the demons of chaos are DLC. So be expected to pay a bit unless you want to play with a few variations of the orks and the space wolves. That's everything I have to say though. PEACE OUT.

A hugely enjoyable game. Hours of entertainment. It could do with ongoing support as it has the basics to make this a far more expansive game setting. Worth whatever you pay for it.

This game has so much potential to be good! Morale is too easy to break for heroes or heavy armor. The morale is stupid as when broken, can do nothing which is unrealistic and not fun! No one will just stand there and allow the enemy to keep hitting without fighting back! Marines shall know no fear and take oaths so should not even have morale broken or affected so easily. Wish there were many many options in settings to customize game play such as adjusting morale, its effects, or turning it off, etc. The more gameplay etc can be adjusted the better! The points and balance of the game seems off to me as well. Chaos seems way over powered compared to marines. Would be good if can adjust points values for custom private games or against AI. Would be more fun if heavy armor could fire more. Music soundtrack could be better and more songs.

During one of the missions I was Fighting a Gorkanaut and my army was really struggling, but it seemed managable. Then a second Gorkanaut emerged from the fog of war and my heart sank, realizing the battle was lost. The Second Gorkanaut fired a rocket, missed my tank, and hit the first Gorkanaut, destroying it. It was the Orkiest thing I've ever seen in a video game. It was beautiful. Thanks to the assistance of the Orks, I was able to defeat the Orks!
