Highly recommended for fans of Warhammer 40k, and Table-top or Turn-based Strategy games. Also recommended for people, who don't know anything about WH40k, but are interested in sci-fi's like Aliens (second move with Marines fighting off hordes of aliens), or anything of the sort. Leading squads of elite inter-galactic marines, with the finest weapons and armor armor in the galaxy, and hunting down hordes of the most deadly biological predators, is incredibly satisfying to watch. This is a dark, tense, and unforgiving game, and I love it for that. + Each chapter feels pretty unique in look and gameplay, and it's worth replaying a campaign with another Marine Chapter. + Campaigns are lengthy and offer a variety of challenging scenarios to overcome. + Lots of tactical depth with the squad customization of skills, gear, and weapon combos, which allows you to build up your squads how you want. + Armor and Decorative customization is a nice addition. + AI is solid and challenging to face. + Sound and FX are perfect - the dark, horrific atmosphere is enhanced by stellar ambient sounds. Comparably awesome to the well done Dawn of War series in this respect. + Extremely satisfying death animations and weapon effects. I love a good soundtrack, and this game doesn't offer much in that regard, as music is used sparringly (what - which in this game's case, is not a bad thing - as the mood of the game is set not by instruments, but by the atmospheric sounds of the Space Hulks; the screams of vicious biological terrors; and the blasts of bolters shredding apart bodies and the clanging against metal - which is perfect for a horror setting. It is worth supporting this developer, as they treat the Warhammer 40k IP with great respect, and there's a lot of potential for bigger better WH40k games in the future.
