March 2025
This is exactly what Warhammer 40,000 as a video game should be like. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the Dawn of War RTS series, too. But Warhammer really shines when it's round based instead of real-time. This game really gets me back to the feeling I had as a kid when I played the original tabletop with my friends. It is very tactical and losing a unit makes you want to restart the entire level as they also added progression to the units which you didn't have in the tabletop version but that adds a cool layer of depth to the game. Graphics, sound and everything else are good but not over the top amazing, but you really don't need that. Graphics and sound were non-existent in the real-life version as well. The imagination was yours to have and to enjoy your experience. Mission design is also very good and puts you in different difficult settings where your army loadout really matters to what you can achieve. Saving a bunch of squads of Battle Sisters? Better have a fast moving army with jetpack squads and a couple of vehicles ready. Can't go through locked doors? Better fly over the gates and open the door on the other side. And choosing the Blood Angels which was my favorite army in WH40k as the base campaign is awesome. And with DLCs you can add Neocrons and other factions of your favorite advisories. 9/10 - would highly recommend for Warhammer and round based strategy fans of all kind. If you enjoyed Incubation for example you will definitely enjoy this one, too.

An experience that is very close to the tabletop gaming edition with the Army Size Point System and Combat Rules. Great for people who are just starting out in the franchise and not yet ready to start the hobby of buying, assembling, and painting the miniatures but want to have a taste of how the battles are like.

Simplified version of a 40k Warhammer Table Top Game. If this sentence appeals to you, you will like this game. Community helps give this game life with Narrative campaigns. Devs continue to add factions post launch.

Having fun with the campaign. If you want to launch games with 2/20+ factions and sells each faction for half the game price with no campaign. The base game or the dlcs should be cheap. If you want all content for gladius and battlesector you might as well buy half an miniture army.

Battlesector isn't a true adaptation of the tabletop game but it is a fun turn based game set in the 40K universe. It's still currently being developed by Slitherine studios now after Black Lab Games ended work on it in 2023 with the release of the T'au DLC. To clarify for anyone looking for information about what the base game has. Without any DLC's the game has a Blood Angel campaign which is fun. The other faction is Tyranids who can be played in skirmish against the AI or multiplayer but there is no Tyranid campaign. The DLC's also lack any campaigns for them and so far they have added T'au, Ork, Necron, Sisters of Battle and Khorne daemons as factions. All factions can be played in the planetary supremacy mode which is a singleplayer mode where you can fight against one or two AI opponents to control a planet (not sure if you are fighting over Baal or not in this mode). All factions can be played here and is where you will get most of your gameplay from the DLC if you don't like multiplayer matches. Slitherine have mentioned a rework of the planetary supremacy mode with more map styles and campaign overview options in the future. If I had any personal gripes with the game it would be the lack of new units for the factions. Black Labs initially added two DLC packs that added more Blood Angel and Tyranid troops but none for the DLC factions unfortunately. The game also lacks units from each factions like the Orks lack numerous vehicles like Rukkatruck squiqbuggy's, Boomdakka snazzwagons, Killa Kans, Stompa's and the like. The same goes for the other factions, even the Space Marines lack other rhino variants like Vindicators, Bikers, Primaris Eliminators you get the idea. The rosters are decent but there will be gaps where you expect them to add these units in the future and hope they do because the actual combat is quite fun. Sounds are chunky, the battlefields are bloody messes in the aftermath, the voice work is good if not a tad repetitive at times. I like being able to setup overwatch shots and watch the charging units fall apart or being able to outflank a foe and get stuck in with some melee, it can be quite satisfying at times.
