  Tyranids infect enemy vessels with swarms of hungry monsters, and latch onto enemies with long space tentacles. The Eldar are fast and near-invisible at the start of a fight. The Orks, well, they crash into stuff. If you’re a fan of the universe there is even more to enjoy here. The voice acting sometimes goes full ham, but this is one of the most authentic attempts to capture the grandiosity of Warhammer 40,000. Emperor knows, many have tried.

  Battlefleet Gothic: Armada II is a very impressive game that improves upon almost all aspects of the first game. Were it not for the campaign plateauing in the back half and some overuse of mission types, it could have been the perfect strategy game. As it is, $40 will give you a great and expansive RTS with a surprisingly gripping storyline with developers Tindalos already promising some pretty interesting updates like co-op and even bigger engagements down the line.

  While its campaign isn’t exactly a beacon of depth, it compensates through slow yet exhilarating battles between behemoths of metal and meat. And trust me when I say that few things offer the same kind of joy as seeing a massive weaponized flying cathedral explode into a ball of color as a giant space rock propelled by shoddy makeshift engines crashes right into it, all to the sounds of green brutes savagely celebrating their triumph.

  Overall, Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 is a great game for fans of the franchise. And for those sitting on the fence, if the concept of guiding a fleet of warships across space, slowly taking out the opposition and building up stronger and stronger forces appeals to you, then this game may just be the one for you. Although the gameplay of Battlefleet Gothic won’t appeal to everyone, those that it does resonate with will find a unique experience from other space combat titles on the market.

  Battlefleet Gothic: Armada II isn’t just a great Warhammer game, it’s a great strategy game. The flawless strategy gameplay is supported by a strong multiplayer showing with all twelve factions and lots of customization, with a fully fleshed out single-player mode with three full campaigns with unique mechanics, stories, and sectors. Very rarely does a game in this IP come along that’s not only a joy for fans of the franchise to enjoy, but can stand on its own legs for newcomers to experience.

  It’s understandable why this victory condition was in the introduced, but it can needlessly extend a battle rather than shorten it. But if you are a fan of the genre, Gothic Armada II brings some really interesting different game styles together to smash into each other. If you understand anything about Warhammer 40K the story might be worth following, but even if you don’t the hulking ships pommeling each other is a fun, slow take on the space RTS.
