May 18, 2022Chaos Gate Daemonhunters is an intensely challenging XCOM-like that fully embraces the aesthetic and tendencies of the Warhammer 40K universe.
-
May 5, 2022The aesthetic richness and narrative complexity of the universe forged by Games Workshop have transformed what could risk being a "more of the same" experience so familiar but with peculiarities capable of satisfying veterans of strategists. The attention paid by the development team to create environments full of details, from the architecture of the buildings to the style of the infrastructures, competes only with the minutiae that adorn the armor of our knights or the horrifying monstrosities present on the battlefield. The presence of typical elements of XCOM in Daemonhunters should not be seen as a defect but as a basis on which Complex Games has placed an interesting but not perfect mix between new mechanics and more consolidated elements. It is a pity, however, that the numerical gap between knights and demons has negatively affected the pleasantness of the playful mixture, which in specific missions did not manage to shine as we hoped.

May 31, 2022Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters made me wish I was a veteran of the genre to appreciate it the way it deserved to. Ultimately, it left me yearning for the game it could have been.

May 16, 2022Plagued with technical issues partially resolved patch after patch, Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate Daemonhunters has also problems in terms of balancing and AI. The boss fights are well done, but it’s also a little monotonous as you find yourself playing the same dull couple of missions from the start to the very end of the game.

May 9, 2022Warhammer 40.000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters delves into the genre of turn-based war strategy in a remarkable way, but the best part is that it allows you to discover its immense universe from the inside. It's not Dawn of War, but it's close. [Recommended].

May 4, 2022A brutal but graceful and comprehensible mix of ideas from Warhammer, XCOM and Gears Tactics. [Eurogamer Recommended]

May 4, 2022While there’s enough tactical depth and customization to sustain a playthrough, much of Daemonhunters’ battles feel like vehicles for getting across its great story, and not the other way around. For many, XCOM is as much about the long journey — failures and do-overs included — as it is the destination. And while I don’t think Daemonhunters offers that same kind of obsessive replayability, it does lay a crunchy, thrilling tactical base for its brazen aesthetic and brilliant story to tread upon.
