Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector

Good Game

Bellissimo gioco di strategia con varie campagne

хорошая игрушка, жаль только то, что онлайна совсем нет, а так сетап интересный, надеюсь сделают вторую часть

Das rockt schon irgendwie :-)

I remember seeing Warhammer 40k tabletop game played at conventions in the late 1980's. The game had these really cool pewter minifigures but the gameplay seemed lame compared to more sophisticated military tabletop games of the time. Warhammer 40k was also kind of a racket: they would create new factions so you need to go and buy more minifigures to play the game. In Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector, they have translated those fine aspects of the tabletop game well to a computer game. This game is all dressed up but has nowhere to go. On the surface, it looks like well-crafted computer turn-based strategy game. The graphics are look good, fairly good voice acting, somewhat interesting troops and armor units, decent strategy game mechanics. But compare this to very good military tactical computer games, its lacking: limited types of units, generic armor units, no artillery units, no airborne units, no hex grid (true to the tabletop game, which is just dumb, this isn't 1987 anymore), simplistic maps with flat terrain, poorly implemented fog-of-war. Those faults don't bug me. What does is the boring and extremely tedious missions in the single-player campaign. Each mission consists of 1) get to a location, 2) do something, and 3) kill the remaining enemies. In multiple missions the goal is to save some troops. In fact, I had to save Battle Sisters three separate occasions (nice, let's put an advertisement for the Sisters of Battle DLC in the middle of the single-player campaign). In one mission my army served as a bug exterminators to destroy bunch of 'infestation nodes'. Great writing here Slitherine. 'Epic' is not word that comes to my mind when I think about the plot in Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector. The game starts off after some not-well described event (Age of Crimson ♥♥♥♥♥ or something) and your job is basically clean-up duty. Really?! It the job of the Blood Angels to kill off the Tyranids, who are there to steal their genetic material or something. The Tyranids are just Alien-Xenomorph/Starship Troops-Arachnids rip-offs to serve as targets in this game. Actually, ALL the factions in Warhammer 40k are just rip-offs from better franchises, but I digress. The antagonists motivation are not well developed in this story. You spend about twenty missions cleaning up Baal Secundus to 'preserve the honour of the noble Blood Angels'. So lame and pretentious. This is the first time I've experienced the lore associated with Warhammer 40k and was not impressed. Lots of techno-mysto-mumbo-jumbo talk that is supposed to sound profound but is just literary garbage of the worst kind. Nonsense, not-needed talk about alien sin and corruption to justify species extermination. In a world with advanced technology, the big-walking-coffin-dreadnought-guy uses mysticism to guide your army. Why would anyone find this lore appealing? This game is doing the typical bait-and-switch by saying it has an 'epic' single-player campaign but proving garbage in the hope you will get bored and purchase additional factions thru DLCs to play with your friends. Because of this racket there is no motivation for developers to create a decent single-player campaign. I am going to try to finish the single-player campaign but I am not enjoying it. I wont succumb to their multiplayer trap.

Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector es un buen videojuego, lo más parecido al juego de miniaturas que tenemos hasta la fecha. La desarrolladora continúa incorporando nuevas facciones con el tiempo, así que si tu favorita aún no está disponible, es probable que la añadan más adelante.

Положительный отзыв только за режим Крестовый поход, который мне очень зашел, но он еще не до конца доработан. Без этого режима после прохождения основной компании делать особо нечего, весь остальной контент скучный, однообразный и быстро надоедает.
