    With so little effort put into making Space Wolf feel like it actually belongs anywhere near the new systems, it’s hard not to be anything but disappointed and cynical about this release. Graphics aren’t everything, of course, but Space Wolf’s other elements aren’t nearly strong enough to tip this one into the win column.

    I expected so much from the story with it being a Warhammer game. Usually, you are drowning in lore and story but with 40,000: Space Wolf, you barely get your feet wet. Every menu in the game feels so slow and sticky. I know it originated from a mobile game but the menu and story needed way more work for a console version. The gameplay is actually alright, the card mechanic mixed with X-COM style combat is quite interesting. But with dumb NPC’s, respawning enemies and losing a turn just to turn your guy around there are just a few too many bad decisions for me.

    There's an interesting and fun game buried somewhere deep beneath the surface of Warhammer 40,000: Space Wolf, but you’ll need to crack the tough, unintuitive armour that protects the core mechanics before you can find it. Unfortunately, you don’t have the privilege of a Thunder Hammer at your disposal – all you have is time, and you’ll need a lot of it to get any real enjoyment out of this rather disappointing title.

    In the end, Space Wolf has a number of things wrong with it that make it pretty disappointing. The combination of having to grind out cards, currency, and upgrades, as well as the overall inelegance makes playing through levels feel like an unnecessarily slow burn.

    Space Wolf is a gorgeous and full-featured card-based strategy game with layers upon layers of finesse that fans of the Warhammer 40K universe will no doubt eat up. However, it relies on a hefty amount of “buy Y to do X” sensibilities, so if you can’t get behind that, you might be better off with another strategy game.
