About
Let your dark soul feel the light of the Emperor!
Command a squad of up to 20 Space Marine warriors and pursue the evil Chaos horde through the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Chaos Gate is a squad-level, turn-based tactical action that pits you against Chaos Lord Zymran, in an attempt to unravel the mystery of an ancient relic.
Your command of the Ultramarine force begins with a choice: pursue the game plot immediately, or take on any number of random missions to gain experience and power for your squad. Whichever you choose, prepare for the unexpected - and tactical combat that’s utterly out of this world!

unbelivable autistic level of detail in the actions, the possibility, the loadouts, the characters.
I owned this game back in the day and have chased the thrill of this kind of turn-based combat ever since. It's the same game. Same bugs, same strange glitches, same intense fun. Scum-save often, especially if you're a new player who is learning the interface and how things work. With most vehicles, if you can't get it to move in the "Walk" speed, toggle it to shoot at the ground, then toggle it back to Walk and sometimes that'll fix it, especially with the Predator. Displacement is the best power in the game. Full stop. 10/10. Emperor Approved.
Fun Classic TBS, but new players Beware Of These Bugs... This is an old game but for fans of turn based strategy there is $15 of fun to be had here, but be prepared for dated mechanics and bugs, most of them dating back to the original I played in 98. Bugs/Glitches: Vehicles have always been broken. Sometimes they move, usually not. They will shoot and turn but good luck getting them to move around. The Landspeeder MIGHT move but you need to find the 'scroll-cursor-up-key' and move it to a square 1 above the ground. Allow animations to play out before doing anything else. Changing weapon during anims will break an item or unit and maybe CTD. Dead marines (not heroes) will be replaced with new ones, they will usually be broken with missing stats and appear invisible. Do NOT deploy them like this, they will CTD. If you ignore them for a while they will eventually fix themselves. (They also have increasingly bizarre names - maybe the devs were trolling us) Tips: Just looking at the contents of a crate will transfer it to your stock pile at the end of the battle. Door keys need to be selected and used in the inventory while facing the door. Dont stress about losing a few marines. They will get replaced and level up quickly. Don't always trust the hit chance %, sometimes it says 0% because there's a stick or a mushroom in the way. if you shoot it will be destoyed an % will jump to 100. Most small exterior terrain is destructable, Melta weapons in particular will destroy trees, barracades, and even ruin walls. The auto cannon is so overpowered it will wipe out every enemy singlehandedly. I never use it for that reason.
I was looking how to get this game to run just a couple of months ago! What a treat! Be warned this game is VERY buggy. There is a mission i think 8 or 9 where you board a ship with a techmarine and have to retrieve data. If you get stuck walk onto the dead chaos marine with the techmarine and press the pickup icon close that and walk up to the computer in the corner and you should be able to use the tech marine ability. Worth the money played this as a kid and LOVE this game so much. The Emperor Protects.
Death to the traitors
Gotta love when the chaos sorcerer teleports your unit into the ground making them unusable for the rest of the mission
Issue with sound cutting out in game - please fix! Using Linux Mint with launch setting: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ddraw=n,b" PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
Le tout premier Chaos Gate! Quel plaisir de le retrouver plusieurs décénies plus tard. Tres respectueux du lore de l'epoque, avec les variétées d'armes et de munitions. Des bruitages de bolter comme on les aimes, des musiques gothiques et un systeme a la UFO dans l'univers de 40k. J'avais adorer le jeux a l'epoque et je l'aime toujours aujourd'hui. Bien sur les nouveaux joueurs vont le trouver moche, archaique et dépasser...mais pour moi il est au dessus du nouveau Chaos gate de par la variété des armes et puis on gere ici plusieurs esouades, pas juste 5 chevaliers gris. Certes il lui manque les phase de gestion de base, construction et recherche comme dans les UFO...
goofy? yes. janky? yes. peak late 90s fun? absolutely. For the Emperor!
cute blueberries adventuring with their friends and YOU get to hold their hands through it all
