    Game is pretty fun, some janky UI choices and some of the animations are very junior. The vibrant tech blue of the HUD is a little overstimulating at times, and some what confusing. Was surprised at some of the stiffness and lack of facial animations in some cutscenes, especially since the voice acting is pretty good.

I love the stylization of the game, I think this is the first one of the genre that really captured the goofy nature of the setting (original satirical 40k) And it's so refreshing especially with the art direction for the genre goin full tilt on the edge factor lately. Vibrant colors and big shapes really make me hope that they will make more games goin forward. Seriously made me take another look at old 40k modles… Expand

    I really looked forward to playing this one. I loved the new XCOMs, I've played them many many times. This game tried to mimic but failed horribly. It's just so damned repetitive. Everything in it is repetitive. After playing the exact same missions over and over again which characters that feel exactly the same ... I just couldn't do it anymore.

    That might be the worst part but there are many others. They took out the RNG attacks but threw in much worse random systems: warp surges and random campaign events.
    Lastly, there were the many times I moved my character to a position and the game decides you're going to stay there forever. No more movement, you can't even warp out! Enjoy finishing the mission with only 3 characters.
    It's all so frustrating for such a bland game.

    What feels fun at first becomes repetitive after about 10 hours, with intense pressure of do limited resource management. Some may think this is the appeal of the game, but to me it brings more stress than fun

    The tactical part works great, and when you're not fighting, there's something to do on the ship as well. Warp drive repair, shield upgrades, barracks expansion. The bombarded planets look nice, the models could have been given a bit more space. But once you put the helmet on in the barracks, the epic feeling is back. [Issue#319]

    Daemonhunters isn't just one of the best W40K games of recent years, but also one of the most solid tactical strategy games ever.

    Warhammer 40K Chaosgate: Daemonhunters is a good evolutionary path for the genre and for the Warhammer franchise that usually deals with tabletop battles. If you like more isolated combat like in the glorious Firaxis title and you like Warhammer 40K then this is a perfect combination for you because - Emperor Protects!
