I've had this game for years, bought it full price when it first released on PlayStation and even picked it up years later to try it again on PC once i got around to building one and gotta say i don't hate this game in any way, i do however feel HUGE disappointment with this game for what it COULD have been and the state it got left in. I feel as though this is one of those games that deserve another try and if only it had gotten the love, and attention it deserved it truly could have been something to compete with Xcom, maybe even better than it in some ways. I love the theme, the atmosphere, the gang skills and customisation's that let it be molded to your playstyle and make's the gang feel like it is yours. Even enjoyed the combat and the objectives they came up with. Being able to steal other gangs resources or if things aren't going your way being able to pull out with anything you can get your hands on so you're still leaving with something (as long as you can make it to an extract without being taken out). Even with all the clunky AI moments that can happen there's a fun amount to it and if those got improvements who knows where this game would be at today. obviously with all the praise and dreams i do have for the game i don't recommend paying for it full price EVER because it is abandoned and you will have crashes and its not perfect in any way but it is fun and it won me over for what it is, if you enjoy games like Xcom, Mordheim or the atmosphere of Warhammer this games does wonderfully for scratching that itch but its not without a lot of issues. Thank you for reading my review and hope it helps on making your decision to play it or not!

Mechanically, it’s as good as an adaptation of the tabletop game can get, and it definitely scratches the itch. Unfortunately, the multiplayer seems pretty dead and there is no multiplayer campaign which is the most fun part of the tabletop game. The story is pretty lacking too, the offline campaign is where its at. All in all it’s definitely worth $20 (also the AI isn’t really that bad people just like to hate).
Edit: nvm the AI is that bad.

Decent game. Not as good a Mordheim but has a decent single player tutorial. Maps take some getting used to and the UI is a little clunky but the game is still fun. Don't pay full price but definitely worth the discounted price.

I didn't have any of the issues others are complaining of. I love this game. It's fun, challenging, satisfying and nice to look at. It ticks every box IMO. This game is one of those instances where you should not pay attention to the reviews. If you are a fan of Turn-based strategy and you liked Mordheim: CotD, you will enjoy this game, as I have. Decent fun...

what ive learned in the past 2 or 3 years playing warhammer games is dont read the reviews wait for a sale and just buy it and find out for yourselves. idk if the warhammer games have brought the tabletop gamers here for the first time but most of them have no idea what they are talking about when it comes to video games. ive only played 3 hours but thats because i bought all these games during the warhammer sale. i got to say from finally buying a lot if not almost all warhammer games worth buying the reviews are trash. i didnt find the few hours i spent in this game or any warhammer game to be that bad at all. to be honest as a franchise in gaming warhammer seems to hit way more home runs than bad its just unlike most franchises each game is really made for a specific audience. space marine is for the gears of war fans. total war is for the grand stradegy fans. games like this and battle sector and a few others one based in the age of sigard which is like a fusion of the fantasy and 40k universe are for turn based fans. basically just do your research and if you like the genre or warhammer your prolly gonna enjoy your time with these games more than 90 percent of the AAA slop that comes out today. if you wait for a sale chances are youll get it for like 2-10 dollars to.
but seriously for warhammer games do your own research dont listen to the reviews they are 90 percent ignorant slop and reading a lot of em it seems they have no idea what a video game even is. if you fact check a lot of them they are liars or have no clue what they are saying unless its about the lore.

So lets get this out of the way.
Cons: AI is trash
The DLCs do not really add unique things and are basically skins
So if we ignore the AI thing, which is pretty bad won't lie. The game looks great, the cutscenes look amazing and fit in well, and the game can be fun. I wish they had included modding support, as it would push it even further.
Overall, it has a lot of flaws, but playing through the story was pretty fun. If you can get it on sale, I recommend grabbing it.

AI path finding is not up to the task , and criticals are roll per projectile ( and not per shot ) , past those points everything is great , lvl design , gfx , sound , lot of details that did not betray wh40k ( 100% heresy free ). to be played on multi or solo to chill or learn .
