Feels like commanding brutal, relentless armies across a war-torn desert world, with tense, high-stakes tactical battles.

What players say
Players praise the risk-style campaign map where capturing provinces unlocks special units and gear. The AI is tougher than expected, with some saying normal difficulty uses cheats. Two new factions, Tau and Necron, join the roster, and long-time fans say the game holds up well after all these years.
