For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away.

Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
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.

The game is fun, but I honestly can’t recommend it unless you get it on a deep sale. I’m really tired of modern games launching with the bare minimum amount of content and then locking everything else behind endless DLC. Want the basic armies and factions that should already be included in a Warhammer 40K game? Too bad — DLC for every army. The base game only includes two factions, Tyranids and Blood Angels, and then expects you to spend over $100 extra just to get what feels like a complete experience. Ten years ago, games gave you everything for one price. Now it feels like developers release the minimum viable product and charge you repeatedly for the rest. The base game costs $40, but getting the full experience pushes the total to around $145, which is ridiculous and comes across as pure money grabbing. That said, the game does have some genuinely strong points. The production value is excellent — the art, voice acting, animations, and unit models are all very well done. There are also nice little details, like how units naturally flow around each other while moving across the battlefield, which makes the combat look smooth and polished. On top of that, the core combat system itself is actually solid. Mechanics like Movement Points, Action Points, activated abilities, hit chances, and damage types all work well together and create satisfying tactical gameplay. The frustrating part is that the foundation is genuinely good, and the game could have been so much more if the developers weren’t so aggressive with the DLC model.

指挥官升级中心有bug,只能升级第一个,后面不能升级
Continues spawn is one of the dumbest game mechanics ever made. And its the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ main mechanic here even. All the cool armies are behind a dlc paywall. While the tyranids deploy 8000 point armies vs your 2000 point armies. And the loading screens and general turns take so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ long as well.
To the point: The game is fun, but every level is essentially the same, varying only in the composition of the enemy forces. Basically, the AI isn't able to do anything other than move toward you gradually out of the fog of war, so every single map is a defensive siege, where the smartest play is ALWAYS to just sit tight and let the enemy come to you. Every once in a while the game spices it up by making you rush toward something you need to protect, but that only happens a couple times (and those are the best missions, incidentally). Most of the time, you're just camped in place, gradually fending off enemies as they creep out of the FoW. Another thing: the game has this feature called Momentum, where units fill up a Momentum gauge the more consecutive actions they take, and filling the gauge allows you to either take an extra action or power up a single attack. Overwatching actually reduces momentum, as a way of incentivizing player aggression and initiative. The problem with this is that it is ALWAYS better to overwatch, no contest. You should overwatch all your forces 100% of the time, except for maybe a backline healer or buffer. So the Momentum feature is essentially 100% useless and implemented in a half-assed way. Those are my main two issues with the game. Other than that, it's still pretty fun for some reason. Maybe it's just riding the sexy 40K IP, but whatever it is, the gameplay and progression systems are fun and addictive enough that I bothered to finish the main campaign. It's cool spending your XP currency on upgrades between missions and then fielding a new army comp. The Blood Angels units look great and feel powerful. Idk, it's a decent game despite being sort of half-baked. If you can get it on sale, it's worth it just for the SP campaign, which is like 30 hours long. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go get myself sexually transitioned. I am a beautiful and sassy Woman of Color. ^I'm sorry about that last sentence about transitioning. I didn't write that. Someone hacked my Steam account and left that message. I'm not trans.
Для игры за 1496 рублей всего две фракции и это очень плохо, при этом эти две фракции полностью не добавлены в саму игру, что бы поиграть со всеми юнитами космодесанта и теранидов надо докупать длс! Ало с хeрали? Cтоковые фракции которые изначально в игре не со всеми своими юнитами, что за кретин это сделал? А так же, я даже в это нормально поиграть не могу, потому что игра просто не грузит главное меню и единственное, что я вижу экран загрузки. Но к самому игровому процессу нет претензий, эта игра самая приближенная к настольно вахе, мне нравится механики сбора армии с ограничением по очками и обидно, что игра так хрeново вышла.
Don't get me wrong, the game isn't bad. It's actually pretty good, but the way Slitherine monetizes DLC's boggles my mind. It's not as bad as what Paradox does, but it's getting there. And not all DLCs add campaigns. Some add just a few units or a faction. Without any discounts, the DLCs cost about 4x the price of the base game. Add on top of that the fact that newer DLC factions have a power creep problem, making them almost mandatory to play online and a variety that bugs that plagued the game for years, and it becomes really hard to recommend this one. And while waiting for a sale might seem the way to go, the DLC doesn't get much of a discount, at least not on Steam.
Base game should be $10 for what you get with it. It is the most barebones base game possible, but if you actually want a full product you then have to pay OVER $100 for all the DLCs. Absolute scummy developers that are just as bad as Games Workshop itself.
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.”
Free Weekend Thoughts Gameplay is boring. Either your're defending endlessly or reaching an objective or gather supplies. The game fails to make this feel engaging. Stand here = Secured area, Kill X amount of enemies, Hold out X number of turns. Its very stale by even the 3rd level. As many have said the upgrades are bugged. This is NOT an early access title, and if you see the STEAM store showing someone streaming the game while they play, you will see them MENTION the bugs. The upgrade system was the biggest draw for me and it doesn't work. It has an XCOM feel but not in a good way. XCOM units are distinct and are supposed to show progress as you research and unlock things. This you just unlock units after completing a mission. Most of this game is hollow, You do not control progression at all and "unlocks" are underwhelming and usually just amount to "more guns, more damage, more stats" zZz To be clear I really wanted to like this game, its got most of what I usually enjoy. Just feels like an indie game that's half finished. Do not buy. Whole game with DLC even on sale is 140. 140 for incomplete game, bugs and stale gameplay. Visually Game is great.
Although I overall enjoyed the game and would recommend it to fans of turn-based strategy games if you get it at a discount, I do think there are some glaring flaws. There is just one story-campaign in the base game, You play as the Blood Angels against the Tyranids, and that's it. It's an interesting campaign with some cool battles and good voice-acting, but shipping a game without a campaign for both factions is a major flaw. You can play as the tyranids in an endless hordes mode, and in a non-story "planetary dominance" campaign. There are also just two factions for non-story gaming, you can meet other factions as enemies, but you can't play them without buying DLC. The DLC also don't have more campaign content, it just unlocks factions that are ALREADY in the game, since you can fight against them, just not as them. If you buy it at a discount, the game is fun enough with just the one campaign. Do not buy the DLC unless they are at a deep discount.
