  8.8

  Warhammer 40K: Chaos Gate Daemonhunters is not only an engaging turn-based strategy game, but one of the best translations of the 40K universe to the PC. With a great story and wealth of options in combat, Daemonhunters also captures the visual aesthetics of the Space Marines and infectious Nurgle. While the interface and some systems could benefit from a bit more elegance and simplicity, Daemonhunters is dramatic, amusing and deeply satisfying. Learning its systems and sticking with the lengthy campaign is a commitment to be sure, but one that fans of 40K should be happy to make.

  8.0

  He cited that the game's intuitive controls, its "great" 40K theme, dark and intriguing story, fun role-playing elements, progression system, and customization options were indeed part of the reason he arrived at that score. In terms of cons, he noted that the line of sight can occasionally be wonky, and there needs to be a better way of conveying status effects.

  Had this game been given more time to germinate it may have bloomed into something nice. Instead it was uprooted and launched before its time and the flaws show. Only the most ardent of Warhammer 40K fans would find something to like here. For all the rest they should wait until this title hits the bargain bin and has a few updates before they dare jump into these waters.

  Warhammer 40k: Eternal Crusade is a missed opportunity and a game that sadly has too many issues to ever completely work out. There’s a nugget of hope in the frantic endgame battles where dozens of fighters duke it out, but those experiences are few and far in between. Eternal Crusade’s heavy reliance on melee combat and poor shooting mechanics only further harm the game’s long-term potential that is looking bleak as of now.

  Warhammer 40K: Eternal Crusade’s big multiplayer battles create some fun combat that captures the feel of the Warhammer 40K universe enough, but it currently doesn't offer the amount of content I’d expect from a $50 game. Balance and optimization issues also complicate the fun, as do missing elements in the shop and unfinished features that all suggest Eternal Crusade was released a bit too soon.

  All in all the game itself is a masterpiece. Well designed and with few flaws, this game is a dream come true for any Warhammer player who ever wanted to live the life of a soldier on the frontlines in the endless galactic conflict of the 41st millennium. Grab you weapon soldiers, and prepare for war!
