Warhammer 40,000: Battle Sister

If you are a fan of 40K, you will like this shooter. It does some nice fan service, but also has the same flaws as the first Space Marine game, in that the levels are pretty samey and all you do is shooting with only solving a minor puzzle here and there. As for the weapons, the game gives you all the basics you would expect from a 40K game. A Bolter, a Boltpistol, a Flamer, a Chainsword or a Lasgun, which even your character makes fun of. What I did miss though was specific Sororitas gear, like the Infernopistol, the Eviscerator or their double Meltas. What I did like though was that a weapon from Space Marine made a return. Which also leads me to the point that you are supposedly a Celestian, but you don't really feel like one. Another thing is that the combat feels rather slow paced. I guess that may be the fault of VR, but it does feel very static, since most enemies rather stay in place instead of pushing their advantage, with Chaos Space Marines being the only exception. It does get better towards the end of the game, but most of the time I wished that it was more frentic. And the bossfights are lame, like "do this specific gimmick three times, because they are invincible otherwise" lame. But despite all of these, I still liked it. I can see why non 40K fans would feel mixed about it, but if you are a fan, this does a nice job. And having a story with a Sister of Battle as the main character is a nice novelty.

Genuinely such a fun game! Started playing a while back now, quit playing for about half a year, and recently got back into playing the game today actually, and boy is it fun, THOUGH... There are problems... There are some bugs here and there, like the fact that sometimes i can not reload by weapons during really dire situations, I can't walk sometimes, but otherwise it's really solid game for a Vr warhammer game!! When i first saw the Chaos spawns they really freaked me out, the scorpion boss was really fun took a while to understand how i avoid one of it's attacks, and near the end, the enemy there was SUPER cool, as it's an army i am currently trying to build Oh and the Chaos Knight fight was super cool too! Really really cool to see a Knight up close Right now I think i'm nearing the final boss rn, so.. Imma edit this review when i beat the game!! EDIT: This was an amazing game, Really like the final boss, did not expect that twist at all, I think you should definatly buy this game if it intrerests you!! the final boss took a while for me to actually know what the hell i was supposed to do, but then it flowed like butter, Just wished the final boss had more than one phase, and had more than two attacks, but nonetheless it was a really solid game

This is the only Warhammer game available in VR currently and maybe it was okay 6 years ago (writing this in 2026, the game was released in 2020 I think) but it has aged horribly very quickly. Graphics are PS2 level (though as ever the actual scale of seeing things in VR impresses. Seeing how big a primaris space marine is for yourself is genuinley pretty cool), the motion controls are very finicky. It drops weapons constantly when you try to holster, the grenade slot position is constantly changing (and often for some reason, directly at my crotch level. You ever wanted to play a Sororitas that grabs at her crotch all the time, get this game) and the faith powers are incredibly sensitive and always manage to pick up the incorrect motion. The player has a very low health pool and later stages of the game feel more like a hiding in cover simulator and the level design quickly becomes a case of just throwing a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of enemies at you. I'm on Chapter 7 (out of 12 I think?) as of writing and theres been several occasions where I've opened a door and there's been enemies right in front of my face already shooting at me. There's no sprint, if you press in the thumbstick you just do a short dash so if you want to move quickly you need to press it over and over again. The gameplay feels like it wants to be almost Doom-like, with you switching up weapons for different enemy types and zooming about and firing off faith powers but the controls just lead to you accidentally flinging your weapons around and using the wrong powers (if they work at all, the game isn't very clear about when they're usable or not) then having to sit in cover. The weapons themselves are...okay. There's a certain thrill if you're a fan of the setting to getting to wield a bolter or chainsword and bolt pistol in VR but it wears off quickly as it gives way to frustration. The fact that it's 40k in VR does carry a lot of weight. The sound design is honestly kind of awful. Early in the game you're fighting to close a warp portal and the buzzing crackling sound effect is ALWAYS there. It's not a low hum in the background either, it's right there at the top of the audio the whole time. Likewise, the flamer and melta have a loud burning and hissing sound the whole time they're equipped. Just overall the sound design feels very cheap. The story also is there, I guess. 40k doesn't have great narritives at the best of times and this is no exception. The story is a vehicle for you to kill heretics. It does its job. So yeah, if you like 40k and can get it cheap like around ten bucks, go for it. It'll be entertaining for a while but not towards the end game when the novelty of 40k VR wears off and you just feel frustrated and kind of annoyed that there are no other 40k VR games on the level the setting deserves.

I'm really disappointed. This game for 2022 feels like 2017. Graphics even maxed are really bad. Even has bugs. Not sure how it got such high ratings.

I love this game.

Ожидания были хорошими для сие франшизы, но на деле результат грустный. На скринах кажется игра с иной платформы, ибо если играть через Стим, то все раза в 2 шакальнее, будто игра недоделана, а местами видна импровизация(2д скайбокс). Мувмент вроде не критичный, а про телепорт вам даже не скажут. Несовсем понятно по какой причине, но целиться (именно целиться через механический прицел) в этой игре у вас вряд ли получится, да и всё бликает. Про лор трудно сказать из пары глав, зато Чёрные Храмовники опять потратили целую баржу в суицыде), но вторая глава больно затянута - готовьтесь к пустой ходьбе по коридорам. Болтер тут представлен как автоган скорее - вроде взрывает, но на смертных нужно по 2-4 попадания.

I love the war hammer series, so when i saw they had one in VR, i said yes, it was definitely a good buy, i was only planning to play it for like 30-40 minutes at a times and i ended up spending just an hour 30 playing it, its very addicting.
