Brilliant game - I have spent many happy hours playing this; I love the chess vibe it has, I love how it captures the essence of the various 40k factions. Amazing replayability!! I would really like to see this come out (maybe as a second version) with animated and voiced cut scenes, and a fleshed out solo campaign.

Probably the best and most in-depth 40K strategy of all time. With the DLC the amount of units is extremely impressive, and the combat is methodical and satisfying.

Gladius is 40k Civ and as any 40k fan knows, "in the grim darkness of the far future there is only war". This is a solid game that I can easily recommend. Note "solid game:, not 'cutting edge' or some sort of genre creating breakthrough, a solid fun game. PROS 1. The game has been out for a while and has publisher support. The result is a stable running, bug-free game. 2. The publisher still supports this game and releases new DLC's that add real value. 3. They support the community with a solid Discord channel, Steam Trading cards and well thought out Achievements. 4. The units are consistent with the lore. 5. The art and sound are solid. Again, not 'omg' level. Solid. Gets the job done. CONS 1. Not really a con for me however the unit specs are not necessarily the latest iteration. Then again, I have some many Codex's, Unit Cards, etc., that were not current months after buying the. The units are consistent of what you would expect a unit to play like. The carnifex feels like a carnifex even without the latest meta. 2. Clearly a game for the Warhammer 40k player. Again not really a con per se, but a non-fan may find other 4X games more suited for them. With 40+ hours of gameplay, I am still very pleased with this purchase.

Don't know why I kept this in my wishlist so long. I've barely scratched the surface of this game and haven't even considered buying some of the DLC because there is more than enough content in the base game. Think of civilization with war being the only way to win and that's this beauty of a game.
