How it feels

feels like commanding a sprawling spaceship campaign where every turn-based decision carries weight through grim Warhammer politics and combat

What players say

Players praise the writing and authentic 40K setting, especially how decisions change the fates of worlds and factions. However, many reviews are dominated by anger over Owlcat adding an unwanted third-party launcher months after release, which they later rolled back. Players split on whether to recommend the game itself while condemning the launcher stunt.
