    Warhammer 40,000: Space Wolf is a good tactical challenge marred by frustrating mechanics, questionable graphics and dodgy controls. But I had fun with it nonetheless and the card system differentiates it from other turn-based strategy games. Ultimately, your enjoyment may depend entirely on whether or not you have any prior interest in the Warhammer 40k universe.

    Warning! this game will not even start without a permanent internet connection! This is NOT mentioned on the store page! Playing on the bus,Warning! this game will not even start without a permanent internet connection! This is NOT mentioned on the store page! Playing on the bus, or plane or anywhere else on the go is NOT possible. (Unfortunately Nintendo doesn't offer refunds for falsely advertised games like this, so be warned).
    [edited] Also: This seems to be a 1:1 port of the ps4 version. All UI text is too small to read on the handheld screen (5px is not large enough to see vital information). And the switch version also has the unfathomable health/HP only on hover-over for ALL enemies and player characters - which makes this game almost tediously unplayable, because of the clumsy controls.

    Can someone reasonably explain to me why a single player game with no PVP requires an internet connection to play? The PC version of this gameCan someone reasonably explain to me why a single player game with no PVP requires an internet connection to play? The PC version of this game is actually quite good IMHO. Sadly, the Switch port is crippled beyond hope. Clunky controls make this like playing with your feet while your hands are tied, no touch screen functionality for no reason, missing features do also not make this "the complete" version, like they say (armor customization e.g). Someone on the internet called this a "Russian scam" - I wouldn't go that far, but it's almost there. This is a sloppy, grossly overpriced cash grab port Nintendo should have rejected. I recommend playing this on PC (much cheaper too), and staying away from the Switch version, which will just frustrate you. Full Review »
