    When you’re restricted by a game that’s all too keen to make you suffer for not throwing money at it though? That’s when Warhammer 40,000: Freeblade is all looks, lacking in real substance and classiness. It’s frustrating when it’s so close to being a great game.

    A gorgeous, well put together on-rails shooter. In the end, it is just another on-rails shooter, but you'll have fun with its on-rails shooting all the same.

    Tragically named, Freeblade proves the old adage that no iTunes or Google Play app is truly free. You’ll need the starter pack if you want to make serious head way into the campaign.

    It looks great but the difficulty level rises so steeply that you either have to repeat missions and grind to get better gear or consider spending substantial amounts of money for power-ups. [01/2016, p.74]

    You should download this if you have a 3D Touch device, just to see what's possible in games with that functionality. And if you love the Warhammer universe, giant robots, or just want an action game you can play for quick bursts, you will enjoy some time with this game. But the constant monetization attempts, while fair, do wear down your nerves. And that energy system is a killer that keeps this from being a good game and a solid recommendation.

    This is game is pretty solid. It's got a good story line but one of the characters should have betrayed you, but the story is still prettyThis is game is pretty solid. It's got a good story line but one of the characters should have betrayed you, but the story is still pretty epic. I wish that the developers would continue support on the game and create a sequel campaign because after a while, you are left with only the lack-luster patrol missions. The big problem with this game is the limited replayability. After you complete the campaign, you only have the patrol missions (which as I mentioned, are pretty boring,) grind the multiplayer arena, or play events. This game could really use a revisit from the devs as I mentioned earlier. This game is still a great rail shooter with crazy explosions and one of my favorite mobile games!… Full Review »
