About
Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector is a fast-paced turn-based strategy game set in the grimdark universe of the 41st Millennium. Pick your force, develop your army, field mighty heroes and fight for victory using superior strategy, awesome abilities, and devastating weaponry.
Experience an epic twenty mission single-player campaign that explores the aftermath of the Devasta-tion of Baal. Help Sergeant Carleon and his allies purge the Tyranid infestation on Baal Secundus, and preserve the honour of the noble Blood Angels.
Fight across the surface of Baal on maps of your choosing in the Skirmish mode. Pick the faction you'll lead as well as the one you'll face. Completely customize your army list by selecting your units, heroes and their loadouts. It is available with three different types of Objective: Exterminatus, Conqueror and Strategic Command.
Planetary Supremacy is a conquest-style skirmish campaign, introduced in a free update as part of our ever expanding plan for Battlesector, in which you, the player, decide the outcome.
Take command of your favourite faction and conquer the planet in a series of procedurally generated skirmish battles. To achieve victory, capture more tiles, acquire strategic resources and expand your army. Then, bring destruction to your enemies in Skirmish battles.
Daemonic Incursion is a single-player mode that is available to all Battlesector players as part of a free update that was launched alongside the Sisters of Battle Faction Pack. In Daemonic Incursion, waves of Khornate daemons enter realspace to spill blood, collect skulls and overrun your forces. This is a last-stand mode, in which your objective is simple: SURVIVE!
Command iconic units like the Sanguinary Priest, the Librarian Dreadnought, and the Hive Tyrant to annihilate your foes. Use over 60 abilities and 50 weapons to orchestrate your opponent’s bloody de-mise.
Each faction has a unique Momentum system that can result in a Surged unit. Units that Surge are able to string together superhuman chains of actions, or use the opportunity to further upgrade their abili-ties.
Use Command Points to call in faction-specific air support abilities. The Blood Angels Stormraven can obliterate xenos with a missile barrage, or deep strike a unit of veteran Assault Marines behind enemy lines. Meanwhile, the Tyranid Harpy can devastate the enemy defenses with its Sonic Screech, or scat-ter the battlefield with its deadly Spore Mines.
With live and asynchronous multiplayer, and hotseat modes available, there’s no excuse not to take your friends to war.

For Warhammer fans this is a solid game. It's similar to the tabletop but it's not going to replace it anytime soon. For tactical strategy fans, this game is janky as hell. I know modern indie games are rushed out the gate to make deadlines but this game came out in 2021 and still has the weirdest bugs that have never been addressed while the DLC keeps piling on. Imagine paying the original 40 bucks they were asking (luckily I got this for cheap in a bundle) I don't have any DLC but it seems it's just 15 bucks a pop for a new faction but no campaign. Wtf? Fix your game, it's been 5 years already. It's a real shame because presentation-wise it's really nice but when you get into the thick of things stuff like the pace of battle, the camera, seeing where attacks are coming from, you're constantly fighting with the camera to see what the hell is going on. Then when you make a mistake, sorry homie, no take backs. Wanna restart a mission, sorry buddy, use the autosaves. There's so many QOL things would plenty of other tactics games have paved the road for already. This kind of stuff is just lazy. Anyway, 7 out of 10 for 40K fans. 4 out of 10 for everybody else. BTW: As soon as I beat the game, it crashed to the desktop! I had to go to Youtube to see the ending!
The game is fun but its quickly turning into paradox interactive levels of DLC nonsense, $133 for all the current content. I also feel ripped off because I bought the sisters of battle army for $15, only for them to release a sisters of battle story dlc for an additional $15 that I dont care about, but it also includes 2 more units for the sisters army, so you dont even get the full army you buy, they split 2 units off into another DLC for the same price. Absolute scum. This really put me off from the game and investing any more money into it seeing their goal is to play games with their customers to extract as much money as they think they can get away with. Just ignoring this entire publisher from now on. It's sad because this is the closest game to actual tabletop warhammer out there.
Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector (2021) Probably one of the best games to simulate the tabletop game, you get to play as the Blood Angels or the Tyranid hive as you get to build your army and pit them against each other. It's a lot of fun and the ai can provide a decent challenge. There is a campaign that is rather long, you need to complete certain objectives while you obliterate the enemy while you work towards these objectives. The base game only offers two armies and that is a shame because the rest are offered as dlc. Compared to a game like Dawn of War one, which had four at the very least it is somewhat disappointing to play with so little factions. The expansions are also somewhat expensive, so best to get them on sale if you really enjoy this game. Start with the base game before buying and see if you enjoy it. You can still play the game online today and they have a hot seat mode if you have a friend over so you both can play the game on the same pc which is very nice. This game's strongest selling point is the fun skirmish mode, I really enjoyed it. Place your units behind cover, you have lots of abilities to take advantage off and you get to plan every move you make, for both base game factions. The campaign also offers some playtime with some unique things but I don't think its this game's strongest selling point. If you enjoy Warhammer, it is a fine game to give a go. Better if you can get it on sale. 7/10 “We are his Angels of Death.”
If you like WH40K and turn based squad battles with rougelike elements and unit progression this is a good pick. Personally I would like to see Aeldari (Eldar) added, which would add much more replay value for me and appeal to WH40K fans and especially the Eldar fans.
great and fun. but keeps not loading at mo
If you are interested in 40K wargame probably this is the best place to try out something close to it. But to be clear the game offers a bunch of DLCs for a good amount of armies, and does that worth it? Only if you got a friend to play against, because except one the rest of the DLCs are just armies what you can only use in skirmishes or multiplayer. I don't know how exciting could that be... So if you get it on a deep discount, you can get the right amount of fun out of it. And actually not that hard to get 100% achievement if that's someone's wish.
Absolutely LOVE this game! Still enjoyable to play and the continued creation of DLC content keeps this game relevant. They have done a fantastic job bringing the Warhammer 40K universe to life.
What an absolute load of garbage this game is. Talk about unbalanced. Constant enemy spawning in out of your arse 0/10
Great Game , but where is the Eldar?
This is my first playthrough on Steam of this game, i believe it is my 3rd time through it. I really enjoy this title. The Fights are tough, the story is good and the replay factor is there, especially if you are a Warhammer fan!
