Jan. 2026
It's a solid game with some grindy achievements. I only had a few crashes in my 100+ hours and that was usually only after playing for a long time. For some reason the start-up screens are incredibly loud, though (or at least they were for me) so something to bear in mind.

I'm not sure what people are complaining about. The game runs really well and I haven't seen any bugs yet. Though, I'm only halfway through the campaign. What some people say about the forced cutscenes and dialogues while entering missions is mostly wrong. Each one only takes up like 30 seconds. These cutscenes and dialogues add perspective and flavor to the battles. You'll have orks thanking you for bringing your loot for them to raid, chaos marines complaining about the emporer, etc. There are also ending cutscenes and dialogue as well, but they serve a similar purpose for whether you won or lost. They're a nice addition to the game that stalls while the game loads the map. Any dialogue or cutscenes past that are in the overworld and are completely skippable.

Every single thing that this game does, the sequel does better. That's not to say that this is a bad game, because it is a faithful recreation of the tabletop game that has a decent campaign set in one of the iconic space wars of the Warhammer setting. It does the job it sets out to do. The ships look nice, and pulling off a good strategy can feel good, but in the end, they'll look nicer and the strategies are more in depth in the sequel. Play it for the campaign if you want, but be aware that many of the issues people have had with it through the years are valid. The computer forces seem to know your objectives/maneuvers and will go out of their way to aggravate you as much as possible. Bugs are decently common, with a particular one being the allied ships you occasionally have to protect in missions forgetting their mission and just sitting there forever, leading to a reset or failure. Admiral Spire's tale is fun, but you will have to endure some misery to get through it. Truly grimdark.

Kind of reminds me of Empire of War. Only cutting out the ground combat nobody really wanted to play. Fairly easy to get the basics down. The Eldar faction threw me, playstyle feeling so radically different the rest. Can suffer from being repetitive. I think it has just about the right amount of ship builds, upgrades or tactical options during combat. I'm here for a good time, not to be bombarded with information and have to micromanage every little thing. I wouldn't ask for gameplay more in depth than this personally.
