TLDR- Besides all the DLC It's a really fun game that is like Civ without all the extra governance and is all out constant war I got this game when it was free during the WH:SKULLS event. It's almost like Civilization made a WH40k game. It is turned base, has resource management, tile building, a research tree, and a ton of fighting. It does not go as far as Civ does with government, trading, alliances, unit upgrades, and age progression. You land on Gladius Prime with a few units and and do your best to survive against nature and the opposing factions, found a home base, build a few buildings inside of it, start pumping out units and get ready for constant war. Each faction plays differently, some are easier to play than others, but everyone is deadly in their own way. You start off with Space Marines(Adeptus Astartes), Imperial Guard(Astra Militarum), Orks(Greenskin Boyz), and Necrons(Soulless Xenos). A lot of content is locked behind DLC and I dont agree with it, but I am more willing to buying some of them on sale since i got the game for free. Adeptus Mechanicus is a good choice if you can learn to use then correctly, the Adeptus Astartes have a DLC specifically for them that has some pretty overpowered units, but there is a way too much locked behind paywalls. I guess that's just how GW works.
I am having a lot of fun with this game. It "feels" a lot like Warhammer 40k, having a hive city surrounded on all sides by orks and necrons as the grim dark music plays and my guardsman die horribly.
computer knows where you are at all times and the fog of war makes it so you can only see at best two hexes away so get used to every enemy hiding just outside your range of view
本以为对4X游戏没兴趣,结果意外的好玩,战斗爽 ai强度要是能由忠诚数值加成和智商高低两个因素来改变就好了,现在改难度和改忠诚就是同一个功能 以及有时候1v2ai刷的太近了,按理来说不应该刷地图两边吗 图鉴也有可以改进的地方,比如单位页面的排序可以从科技高低排序,或是以制造厂分类排序 教程很多东西没说清楚 科技树描述和其它东西翻译有些错误,能修正一下的话就太好了
Gladius comes very close to delivering something special as a strategy game, but it is held back by noticeable performance problems, confusing visual choices, and underwhelming audio. After sinking around 30 hours into it and getting to know the different factions, I can comfortably recommend the title to fans of the genre who are hungry for fresh options or anyone seeking a 4X experience that plays at a more laid-back tempo. There is something deeply satisfying about crushing Space Marine forces on a lazy Saturday morning with a fully upgraded Warboss. Waaaaaghhh!
Игра-топ, но в ней нет фурри, поэтому не рекомендую игру, хоть и получил её бесплатно.
Bought the game at release and had a bunch of fun with it. But it having DLC for 100+ euros, yeah makes me not want to play the base game even
Меня заимели орки по самые гланды
Plays like Civilization V, but it's the Warhammer universe and there's no diplomacy. The problem is I only own the base game. I'm pretty sure I got it as a giveaway on Steam. The base game is barebones, only four playable factions. Everything else is gated behind a mountain of DLCs. As of July 25, 2026, the retail price for the Complete Edition of this game is CAD$226.25. Even the base version of Civilization V had more game content than this game at a much lower price. I suppose you could argue the DLCs let you customize your game to your liking, but if you're new to the Warhammer universe, like me, the daunting price tag will turn you away. It's impossible to recommend this game when it has this kind of pricing.
Have you ever had a game that you -want- to recommend but simply can't? That's Warhammer 40,000 Gladius. It's Civilization, scrapping all the diplomacy and focusing on the combat, with a 40k skin overtop it; and on its own, it's -fun-, fantastic even; HOWEVER, I don't think I've been able to get the game to run stable through an entire match in months, and there is nothing worse than getting 40 turns in, and having your save essentially go "Nah, I don't really feel like it anymore", with restarting and reloading doing little to actually fix it.
