Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War

Game is fun, that being said...10 to 15 dollars per pack to unlock the full experience is ridiculous. 150 for full game? yea ill pass. i hate this model and will never support it. i might get it on a deep discount. but not full price.

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

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.

The Price is to damn high and the AI is terrible...

Brilliant game - I have spent many happy hours playing this; I love the chess vibe it has, I love how it captures the essence of the various 40k factions. Amazing replayability!! I would really like to see this come out (maybe as a second version) with animated and voiced cut scenes, and a fleshed out solo campaign.

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.

I guess you can get some worthy hours on this game without paying any dlc, but it quickly gets repetitive; also why I would pay more than 80 bucks on dlcs when I can get cheaper strategy games, with cheaper dlc bundles, wich feel full of worthy hours without paying any dlc. Is hard to say I'd recommend it, I guess it's worthy only if you have friends to play it and if you find a good deal.

В целом интересно, сюжет имеется, который совсем не кинематографичен, но сценарий войны у всех фракций плюс минус один и тот же: постройте что-то, найдите что-то, соберите разрозненные войска, уничтожьте 2-3 местных ксеносов, переживите вторжение. По сценарию кто-то кого-то предаёт или восстаёт против игрока. Иными словами какого-то своего уникального сценария для каждой фракции нет, всё очень однообразно. В общем достаточно скромно. Много доп контента нужно покупать, чтобы игра выглядела богаче и более-менее интересно. По номиналу брать - слишком жирно, по хорошей скидке или вообще бесплатно - норм. Докупать длс или нет, тут уж решайте сами, т.к. сценарий у фракций всё равно почти одинаковый. Если фанат Вахи или нравятся пошаговые стратегии, то рекомендовать можно. В остальном игру можно было сделать интереснее.
