Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector

Its a great way to play tabletop 40k without buying the armies

This is a mixed review, but a little more positive than negative (and steam doesn't allow mixed). I'll preface by saying I haven't much experience with the tabletop game and I haven't played it in years, so I can't say much about this game's similarity to that. The core gameplay is good. I like the armour, effective range and combat systems and they require you to (to a certain extent) pick your units and their placement strategically. For the most part the space marine units feel quite unique and are used effectively for different types of engagements. Inceptors are very mobile and great for clearing swarms. Hellblasters are best used for fighting more armoured enemies at range. The only other army I tried playing as were the necrons, which felt more lacking in unit versatility. Their vehicles didn't feel nearly as good and they didn't seem to have as much swarm clearing ability compared to something like the inceptors or even regular intercessors from the space marines. They did seem to have more per-unit damage and can self-repair but the lack of shots fired hurts them I feel. For me, the worst part about combat was how long it takes. It's not so bad on your turn since you're picking out your moves and finding the perfect placement, but the enemy turns drag out even on the max speed setting. The last game I played was against the sisters of battle who had fielded an army of almost entirely infantry. The speed setting only affected their movement, meaning that I had to sit there for several minutes every turn watching every individual squad go through their entire firing animation before I could make another move. This of course happened every turn, and I simply got sick of it and quit. The graphics are good and I like that you can zoom in very close to see the models. The story was simply okay. The main campaign had weird difficulty spikes that weren't linear (as in it didn't necessarily get harder as you go). One mission I was fighting hard to keep some sisters of battle alive, and then in another I had to actually try to let certain units die to achieve a bonus objective. Overall, I'd say it's worth experiencing the base game and its campaign if you have the time. I tried out planetary supremacy mode hoping for an experience like Dawn of War: Dark Crusade, but as mentioned, I just got sick of spending every turn waiting for 20 different squads to do their animations.

A great turn based strategy game like the XCOM games! This is the closest officially licensed game we will ever get to the tabletop war game.

Fantastic game, def one of the top stand outs for Warhammer games, I just realllly realllly wished they had a co-op function. 2v2, against other ppl or at least vs AI. Game is in desperate need of that. Can only play each other soo many times. Be great to coop a supremecy mode or anything.

God, pero añadanle mas campañas, facciones, unidades de fracciones ya existentes, y dejen de cobrar todo , hambriados, hasta acá se oye sus rugidos de tripas, sletherine, al menos bajenle un chingo el precio para que sea asequible y mejor, steam solo puede hacer un poco por ustedes, pero de ustedes depende si su juego vive o se muere.

Neat Game. Has campaigns, multiplayer, and crusade modes. Has many different factions. Allows to build an army and gain experience and use turn based tactics.

В основной кампании просто герои не прокачивались (в остальных норм) . Да и модельки средние. Доют длсками среднего качетства Их же игра Sanctus Reach намного больше понравилась.

Factions are super unbalanced even in singleplayer.
