Lore wise is very bad, it is just a Civ like game with a re-skin that makes it look like W40k, You have research which does not make sense from a lore POV, combat is kind of lame and simple compared to many other similar games
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 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.
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 can't fully start Gladius or Zephon ? Hopefully a solution or update will come from the responsible publisher of Zephion or Microsoft. Thank you very much.

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.
