March 2025
Underrated 40k game. Probably one of the best translations of the tabletop to a computer screen, with a more granular and understandable HP/Morale system that still reflects the realities of the source game; a single bolt or lasgun shot probably won't kill a model, but overall fire laid on by a squad WILL kill commensurate amounts of enemies out of cover. A random bad morale roll won't cause a wave of retreats, but breaking a couple of enemy units WILL affect their nearby allies to the point where it makes them easier to defeat. Anti-Armor works like it should in this game, meaning that a Sentinel will OTKO light armor and significantly damage heavies, unlike Battlesector (which is a gripe I have with that game, where armor is absolute king). If you want a 40k property that keeps to the vibe of the tabletop, this is the one you should get.

another very very fun 40k TBS with some VERY large scale battles. I think the last mission in one of the campaigns had upwards of 40-50 fuckign squads of enemies/player controlled and took almost 2 hours to beat. it was amazing

Ok, so you know Xcom enemy unknown or Xcom 2? You know how those games have squares were you move your units to and you have a percentage chance to hit the enemy each time you shoot? Apply all of the to Sanctus Reach, then add a little jank that somehow makes the game super charming and you get this game. The campaign just like a lot of games will ease you into things, starting you off with a small amount of space wolves to command and slowly unlocking new units as the game goes on. The whole thing doesn't feature much voice acting though and you can't play as the Ork side unless you go head to head against one of your friends or play the skirmish mode against the AI. Then you can play as the Ork faction. They seem a little underpowered compared to the space wolves though, which can be a little frustrating if you play against your friend. What about against the AI though? Buddy, if you face the AI in the skirmish mode I bet you can win as any faction on normal difficulty. They are so so so dumb. It makes really stupid decisions, it will trigger reaction fire from your units, and I once seen it run back and forth like a toddler at a choke point. The obvious move was shooting the rock in the way or going around but the AI ran its units back and forth like a 3 year old that just discovered its mother's lipstick and decided it was time to paint the hallway. In other words if you're like me and play this game to relax while having dinner you will have a great time. If you're here to flex your tactical mind, you need a friend cause the AI ain't gonna cut it. Oh yeah, 2 more downsides I really need to mention. this game really needs team colours. One time I was playing against the space wolves as the space wolves. I shot orbital rockets at my own men for 2 turns because I thought they were the enemy. Leman russ would not be proud!! Also a lot of the factions like the demons of chaos are DLC. So be expected to pay a bit unless you want to play with a few variations of the orks and the space wolves. That's everything I have to say though. PEACE OUT.

A hugely enjoyable game. Hours of entertainment. It could do with ongoing support as it has the basics to make this a far more expansive game setting. Worth whatever you pay for it.
