Childhood memories. A little gem in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. I recommend it to anyone who plays as the Eldar (Aeldari).
Abgefahren! Super Gameplay, wunderschöne Atmosphäre, so kultig! So stört auch die veralterte Graphik nicht. Spielt sich einwandfrei. Die Schwierigkeit ist nach den ersten drei Missionen noch klein, doch wird sie sich mit fortlaufender Kampagne vermutlich erhöhen. Ich kannte das Spiel nicht und bin froh es über diese Neuauflage erleben zu können. Absolut empfehlenswert.
Nostalgia overload
