Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters

These Grey Knights are the most pathetic Space Marines you have ever seen. Unintuitive ability tree with uninteresting talents. Gear is a chore to sort through. If you like Xcom, then this game will just make you wish you were playing Xcom and if you like Space Marines or 40k then this game will just make you wish you were playing Space Marine 2 or the tabletop game lol.

I find this game as a lot of anti-fun designed into it. Everything has a negative to it - you can't use abilities without spawning more enemies. Your weapons seemingly do next to nothing to the enemies you fight. You stun an enemy for a turn and the next turn they are not stunned. The recovery time for your units is a terrible mechanic that detracts from the game. Graphics are too cartoonish and don't feel like a good fit for a 40k game. And frankly there is just too much ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ going on all the time - from blooms to warp spawns to enemies seemingly getting infinte grenades - again its just anti-fun at its core and I don't recommend it unless you get it at a very steep discount.

Love the game but unfortunately it's too buggy. Every playthrough when I come across a certain enemy, the enemy turn wont end.

ui就是一坨屎，蹭战锤热度的三流游戏

Just get XCOM. This game is not bad, similar to xcom but the BIG problem is that all descriptions are heavy on lore and completely nonsensical. Its impossible to know what's going on based on descriptions of tallents, buffs, debuffs, etc until it happens several times. This forces you to start over several times just to learn by trial and error on what should just be written in a tool tip. I still have no idea what some of the ship upgrades and strategems do because I have not used them yet. If you have played all XCOM games and have a lot of patience, sure, this isn't too bad.

1st review on the platform because IMO it deserves more praise. Obviously it is long after the publishing date, but I have not encountered any technical difficulties at all. The setting is done wonderfully, the aesthetics, sound of weapons and ambience are fantastic. Characters are interesting and adequate, voice acting appropriate. The game took a lot of inspiration from XCOM, but used the absurd power fantasy of 40k and designed systems that do them justice: One moment all seems lost and then you combo some desperate moves together and all the Silver Knights are saved once again - it is so great and fun when it comes together. Despite lots of info in the game it is a lot to discover and ALSO: this type of game suffers from being the hardest at the beginning, when it is most unforgiving eventhough players have not mastered the essentials and when you make it through the mincer it gets actually easier. I will start of things quiet differently in another playthrough. Bought all together, but I assume the DLCs make it even better and enhance the game feel through more diversity and also another wonderully bonkers aspect of 40k. I have hundreds of hours in XCOM 1&2, but this might be my new go to - it is dense, challenging and fun. Never have I ever seen unite design so smartly inspired by a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ crazy setting: Highly recommend.

通关了 为了帝皇, 已经打到要分手了

The game is mostly alright but the bloom assault missions are such a drag that they made me drop a game I really wanted to enjoy, at least if I don't like an aspect of a DLC I can disable it but there's no way to reverse what was ruined by this poorly thought out game ruining free update. They are incredibly long, incredibly boring, unrewarding and not even all that challenging if you know what you're doing. The pace's already on the slower side but it reaches unbearable levels when you have to sit through your turn (made longer by having a larger area to cover, divided forces forcing you to optimize and game design decisions forcing longer than average turns coupled with more turns to boot), the useless guardsmen's turn (they'll do no damage and will survive long enough to waste your time in between turns but not enough to serve as a meaningful speedbump) and the enemy's turn (multiple enemy squads throughout the map, each unit slowly playing it's animation one at a time, and then finally you have to sit through the reinforcement portals doing their thing and taking even more of your time). I've seen quite a few games made worse after launch throughout my life but this is the first time I've seen something so minor in scale do so much damage.
