Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Very poor This game is only suitable for die-hard Warhammer fans. Why? Firstly it has poor graphics (even for a DS) and the game concept is awful. Looking at the cover it the idea behind this game any gaming fan would want to buy it but please please please do not. It is a near embarressing attempt at making a Warhammer game. Don't get me wrong, I've finished the game and played it right through but I can look back and say that the only thing that keeps you playing is the picture cutscenes between levels. As said before, a waste of money Rating:  - 'Just One More Mission....'First off i'm quite familiar with the 40k games, and this is basicaly a more enjoyable version of Chaos Gate. It's simply a great game; relatively hard campaign, good use of things like cover and it gives each unit strengths and weaknesses. The graphics arn't bad at all, and the environment is destructible - as long as you avoid using the stylus the controls are fine. the micro management is cool,too. You get to decide the weapons and ammo of each unit before deployment. However i think it is a missed oppertunity that they didn't give you the choice of what units you use before each mission. they could have introduced a cost-based system and let you decide whether you want two Terminators and a Land Speeder or 5 Marines, for example. ...

This is a turn based strategy game with a squad of six units (usually men, occasional extras like a tank or a speeder) completing a series of missions. In most you work your way accross a map encountering enemies along the way. This is not Dawn Of War for a handheld. What it is, is great fun. Every decision could be the one that lands you in trouble. Should you duck and cover or race ahead to see around the next corner? Spend those last action points on moving behind a wall or take a long range shot at a chaos cultist? If you're a Games Workshop fan then there is enough detail to satisfy you and the turn based approach is far closer to the table top games that inspired it than Real Time Strategy versions. ...

For me it was an impulse buy purely based on the Warhammer licence and I have to say I was more than pleasantly surprised. The graphics are as good as can be expected on the DS and the gameplay is fun and addictive. Overall I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys turn based strategy games or enjoys the Warhammer universe. Rating: - Great gamethe game is done well and with the progressively harder missions it does have quite a bit of longevity, the on-line multilayer is good but finding games takes a while, multilayer is fun and would love to get a full 8 player match, the 3-d graphics are well executed but with a fixed screen you can 'lose' enemy units behind buildings, also the lack of a soundtrack means it can get very quiet. Overall it is a very good game but is let down by the odd shortfall |
