Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector

A better Warhammer game than the last few.

A nice turn-based tactical game, simple to understand but hard to master, set in the ever-fascinating Warhammer 40.000 universe. The experience is fun, but just two armies and one campaign don't fully justify the relatively steep price.

Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector is a solid turn-based tactical game, but also quite generic. That's because the developers did almost nothing to differentiate their game from other titles in the same genre. Recommended if you're a WH40K enthusiast, but demanding turn-based tactics fans might want to look somewhere else.

Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector doesn't shine in any of its key aspects, but is well represented by the sum of its parts. It is a solid strategy, developed with competence and with a sense of proportion, with which experts of the genre will immediately find themselves at ease. The impression that he is missing a few pieces is still there, and we would have gladly exchanged part of the long campaign for a more in-depth progression system or a management component. Those simply looking for "yet another Warhammer 40,000 strategy" may have found it.

A solid turn-based strategy experience that explores the Space Marine power fantasy, marred by humdrum mission design.

WH40K: Battlesector offers a solid turn based gameplay in one of the most famous settings in geekdom. Graphics and music on point. Good variety in the troops with potential expansions in the future.

The tactical approach is smart and well balanced, but we wished for more contents and modes.

Sleek graphics, superlative voice acting, simple but deep mechanics: Battlesector takes full advantage of the universe created by Games Workshop to provide immediate and challenging turn-based strategy. Unfortunately, at times, the difficulty is excessive and it seems that there is only one way to win.

Technically outdated turn-based tactics with tedious gameplay. Only the multiplayer is worthwhile for fans.

This is a completely average strategy game elevated by solid graphics and a fun campaign. If you’re a fan of the 40k universe, this will be a much better experience for you than for newbies who might be turned off by the impenetrable lore - and the interminable enemy turns.
