    Game is basic TBS strategy in line with the classic panzer general.

    Very good conversion of the Panzer Corps series into Wh40k universe. There are the traditional elements of core force which gains experience and carries on from scenario to scenario in the campaign. Units are divided to different groups (infantry, vehicles, tanks, artillery, air etc) each of which have tens of different units that you can upgrade as the campaign progress.

    New things (apart from the setting and units) are that each unit can have multiple weapons with different stats. Also attack usually lead to counterattack, which gives more weight to attack range (no counterattack if target is out of range). Units have health and are very varied on how many individuals there are in the unit (the unit strength counter). For example goblins can have as much as 40 unit strength when tanks usually have 5.

    Game feels much more fluid than Panzer Corps and the graphics have been improved a bit. Very enjoyable gameplay experience so far.

    Minor complaints come from some missing UI elements. What is morale? How many points does reinforcement of unit take? How far can a unit see (there is no unit stat to tell this)?    … Expand

    If you love Wh40k universe, if you love turn-based tactic, if you have some imagination to submit how the battle would look like in real life (better to say - if you love table-top games) - this game is surely for you.

    I have a lot of pleasure playing this game. Too bad, i cant give it 10/10 - the game price is 20$, for that price it should be better.

    I have a lot of pleasure playing this game. Too bad, i cant give it 10/10 - the game price is 20$, for that price it should be better. I mean, more video-movies, more cool wh40k pictures, more description on units and wh40k concepts (some would say "better animation and graphic" but i totally dont care about dat). Maybe there will be some addon about third Armageddon war were they will improve this game a bit, but at the moment 9/10. It deserves 8/10 actually, but i add this 1 point for return me like in 6-7 years in the past when i was the kid :)

    Remember, not graphic or animation makes the game good but amount of fun it gives to you!    … Expand

    I'm a big fan of Panzer general series(especially 1st one) and this game is combined with 1 and 2.
    I'm really enjoying this game is different with Panzer general because in this game you're not aa invader - you should recognize mission objective or you'll lose your units and recovery is very hard in this game.
    Unlike Panzer general, you rarely get requisition(money) after mission- you're    I'm a big fan of Panzer general series(especially 1st one) and this game is combined with 1 and 2.

    Unlike Panzer general, you rarely get requisition(money) after mission- you're too busy to recover each unit's loss from previous mission especially expensive units.
    So, if a certain mission is to hold 3 victory hexes, then just stay on a safe spot and just defend endless enemies. When I first played this game, remembering Panzer general and rushed deep in enemy teritory and lost units.
    There's a plenty of units so sometimes confused which unit to buy but answer is simple: More expensive,more bette.
    There're soem mediocre bullshxx units which seems cheap but goon in attack, but always check initiative should be higher thatn enemy unit.
    In my case, 3 vultures 2 infantries and one sentinel and rest is tanks and artilleries.

    Controll the sky and rest is up to you!!    … Expand

    Far too shallow to hold your attention for long. [March 2015, p.92]

    Armageddon is a game for those who see only war in the darkness of the distant future. Even if the developers decide to mimic Panzer Corps by releasing new campaigns and playable factions, they won’t be able to attract new players to the Warhammer 40,000 universe.

    Hex-based strategy games aren't dead after all. Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon is quite faithful to the license and features a huge number of units, which is great news for everyone who loves the Warhammer universe. However, there are also many faults that will hinder the experience. These include poor tutorial, and lack of documentation, lackluster story and missing movement animations.
