What players say

Players praise this as a solid remaster of the classic campaigns and skirmish modes, especially with mods, but opinions split sharply over post-launch balance changes aimed at competitive play. Veteran players complain that unique faction traits like Tau range or Necron viability are being nerfed, while others appreciate continued support. Some report game-breaking bugs in the original campaigns.
