Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters

Best strategy game after xCom 2 IMO Weird that reviews are not great

♥♥♥♥♥♥ духаторий без дальнейшей продолжения кампании по зачистки системы

Lacks polishing and QOL features. Gameplay feels sluggish because of some very bad decisions (reload animations too slow and locking gameplay, movement animation too slow and locking the game, stagger animations locking the game and too slow...) Some weapons feel like toys animation wise/sound wise/FX wise. Interface is not great. Also skill trees could have been far more interesting and more defining for classes. Imgagine a chaplain buffing his comrades every time he strikes with his mace/axe ! Or an AEGIS TANK justicar that taunt/counter attack enemies ! Etc... But despite all of that it is a very decent game for those who love the W40K universe, it tackles the Grey Knights which are seldom put forwar in games (for good reason watch out for inquisitors erasing all witnesses !) I would love to see a second game with improvements and more mission diversity (which is also lacking) If you are smarter than a nurgling the game is not that difficult really, you just have to pay attention to how you level up/gear your knights and understand 2 or 3 core mechanics. Some classes are really more powerful than others (interceptors are a must have as a shock troop for instance) 7/10

So, I gathered my strength, my spirit, prayed to the God Emperor and gave the game a 3 chance. But still in vain. So, I'll try to describe everything point by point, why this game is not good, IMHO. 1) There is no difference in difficulty other than that described when choosing a new game. Apart from the starting resources, Hp of the opponents and the speed of exploration, nothing changes. The tactics of the enemies remain at the same level, whether you are on Mercy or on Legend. Therefore, even at the lowest difficulty, it will be "problematic" in places. P.S.: I'll also add that the difficulty curve (how much, when, and whom you get thrown at your opponents) breaks down a lot with the new additions. Yes, this is disabled in the same difficulty selection when starting a new game. If you overlook this, they throw opponents at you that you shouldn't have seen at your stage [spoiler](it was a shock for me to see a Knight made by the Mechanicus Heretics)[/spoiler] 2)A matter of aesthetics. Yes, I understand that the difficulty of the opponents should increase as the story progresses. But you, the developers, decided to put ordinary people with weapons made of ♥♥♥♥ and sticks on the initial opponents who go in front of the basic Death Guard fighters, and at the same time they calmly pierce the armor of the Gray Knights. Yes, even in Space Marine 2, it was shown that the heretic guardsman does a whole 0 damage to the Astartes. Even in a crowd. And then the ♥♥♥♥ cannon pierces the armor... 3) Emotional swing. No kidding, this is exactly the kind of event you will encounter throughout the company. The Inquisitor did not like your action - you are without a strategems for 60 days. You have offended the Grandmaster - you do not receive equipment from the missions you have won for 60 days. The Dominus didn't like the way you were looking at the toaster - keep a lock on the development of the ship. Well, to top it off, I'll add a rather strange idea from the developers that each cutscene ends with a general view of the player. As if something depends on us in the main plot [spoiler](spoiler: it doesn't)[/spoiler] 4)Controversial mechanics. a) Warp Storm, which are seriously felt only in the first part of the plot, but any psyker's fart of your knights constantly adds percentages to the moment when you are forbidden to heal for 3 turns, or teleportation is forbidden at the right moment (sometimes a serious spoke in the wheel) b) Mutations. So be it when all enemies get some kind of bonus with Warp Storm. But when an enemy has a chance to mutate, when it takes damage, it's no longer funny. In my presence, the demon received a mutation three times with a 15% chance. Bad luck, you say. I'll tell you, ♥♥♥♥ it. Especially when these mutations provide additional health or armor cells. c) Armor cells. Ooooh, my favorite armor cells. In other games, armor does its direct job of reducing incoming damage by a fraction equal to its value. Here, starting with the usual Death Guard Astartes, each opponent starts running with armor cells. And that would be fine, but WHO THE ♥♥♥♥ TOLD THE DEVELOPERS THAT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO MAKE THE ARMOR CELLS REGENERATE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE TURN?! You will have a situation more than once when you miss the damage and the enemy will survive. And voila, he has 10 armor slots again. Now you have to spend at least 2 actions of your knights to kill him [spoiler](unless he gets a +4 armor cell mutation)[/spoiler]. But the only counter measure to such opponents was added only with DLS about Dreadnoughts and techmarines. 5) Well, actually about the Dreadnought itself. I honestly thought that when he appeared in the barracks of the "Baleful Edict", he would become available on all missions. But no. The Dreadnought was given a place [spoiler]only on special missions, where the technophagus would be fixed[/spoiler]. And such missions are on average 1 out of 3 in the outbreak of Flowering. There will be more if you bring your star system to a serious level of infection. Well, you need to remember that opponents can easily destroy a Dreadnought, and to get a new one, you must bring your knight's durability to 0. I didn't get into issues like the fact that there's only one animation for multiple knight actions. Or to feel all the advantages of your group, you need to take a sooooo long time to complete the storyline. I will also say that the game has its advantages, which is why I stayed too long in it. But the facts listed above left a more negative connotation from the end of the game.

idk...its a cool idea. What you see is literally what you get. I just don't really enjoy it.

设计有问题，前期过于难，后期过于简单

Досить гідна тактика. Отримав свою долю задоволення. Але кілька моментів дуже дратували: 1. Місії де треба охороняти сервіторів, просто, верх нудоти. 2. На фоні досить адекватного загального сюжету, діалоги якийсь лютий крінж. Інквізиторша, просто, втілення сучасного образу «сильної жінки». Постійно хамить та істерить. Я не уявляю, щоб у всесвіті WH40k хтось після таких розмов з Сірими лицарями випадково не зник в невідомому напрямку. А наш сірий лицар-помічник, навпаки зривається з агресії в ниття, як зазвичай подають чоловіків фемки. Якась суцільна ганьба, а не персонажі. 3. Якщо місії по захисту сервіторів це духота, то остання місія – це супердухота. Не міг дочекатись вже поки вона закінчиться. І добре що десь прочитав пораду, що в кінці гри має бути два бойових загони. Інакше б я психував неймовірно. Не можна так робити.

Felt compelled to review since I see some recent negative reviews. I'm not sure why because this game is fantastic. If you like 40k and Turn Based...this game is quite to the point and incredibly fun. The story is compelling as well. Good variety of units and tough fights that feel fulfilling when/if you win. Do not sleep on this game and I truly hope the devs release DLC or sequel. The Emperor provides...i hope!

I stopped playing this game after a few missions because I found it more of a chore than fun. It is seriously uninspired and unoriginal, and just felt more like work than anything else.

Hard but good fun
