    To date, ‘Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector’ is the best digital rendition of the Warhammer 40k table-top miniatures game that I’ve ever played. The amazing attention to detail and unknowing nature of each mission will resonate deeply with 40k fans and be a good starting point for newcomers to the franchise. Personally, I would have loved to have seen more factions engaged in battle but introducing the Sisters of Battle as reinforcements has been a clever way to expand the list of units available without straying away from the deep lore that the game is set in. Although I wouldn’t call ‘Battlesector’ a difficult game, it does pose quite the challenge for players of all skill levels. I recommend this game to anyone who wants to get into Warhammer or is already a fan. Hopefully more units and factions will become available in the future, further adding to enormous amount replay value.

    Aside from some doubts about the balance and the AI, and some Warhammer-specific quibbles, Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector is a great Blood Angels experience.

    If you like your battles tactical then this is a great game to sink you teeth into. The campaign escalates nicely and does a good job of selling the desperation of your mission. Being able to easily switch out your units and play around with army composition is also a really nice touch that means you don’t end up locked into a single playstyle. Campaign re-playability is somewhat lacking but the skirmish mode gives you the chance to play against friends so there is that. Considering how many new campaigns and modes were added to Deadlock over the years, we can probably expect some expansions in the future.

    Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector doesn't shine in any of its key aspects, but is well represented by the sum of its parts. It is a solid strategy, developed with competence and with a sense of proportion, with which experts of the genre will immediately find themselves at ease. The impression that he is missing a few pieces is still there, and we would have gladly exchanged part of the long campaign for a more in-depth progression system or a management component. Those simply looking for "yet another Warhammer 40,000 strategy" may have found it.

    The tactical approach is smart and well balanced, but we wished for more contents and modes.

    A pleasant peek for fans of univers, who want more "forties". The remaining players of turn-based strategies lets look elsewhere. There is a lot to choose from.

The story, graphics and gameplay are all 1st rate. In a departure from most WH40k tactical games it is fully voiced and the voiceover is some of the best I have experienced in a strategy game. The missions are interesting and propel the story forward adding new troops with each one.

    The game is only let down by a few QoL failings and it could use more than 2 factions at release. even so it's an excellent game worthy of your time and money.    … Expand

    Good Old Waha

    I'm not a true fan of the Warhammr 40 k universe, but I like Dawn of War Trilogy (TBS) and Space Marine (Shooter).
    The game feels like homecoming to Dow, but nothing more - just an average experience with dead multiplayer.

    Visual (7/10): Graphic is good as for strategies, music average, but together with the colors, canonical pictures of the main characters, detailed equip - it creates true Warhammer 40k atmosphere. The interface is a bit archaic, but if you play strategies in the beginning of 2000s you can feel nostalgic.

    Gameplay (5/10): Gameplay is average and varies from missions. Main problem - only 2 fractions - less strategies. Missions in the middle of a game are boring - you need to rush to spot A and just kill all. After finishing the game I can remember hardly 3-4 missions from 20.
    Multiplayer is rather dead than alive, I've tried it, but still boring and long queue (maybe I'm unlucky)
    Good points - some rpg elements - you upgrade branches for a commander and related squads are upgraded also. You can customize each squad - great option, but due to only 2 fractions till the end of the game you finalize your blood angels and smash Tyranids - its fun but straightforward.

    Story (7/10) - For non Waha fans - you need to watch the entranced video for about 2 hours to understand the background. After this you can admire the story. So the story is good, just because of the background. The characters are very average and not very epic.

    If you are the Warhammer 40 k fan or want to check what is all about - it's definitely worth to try, just for atmosphere. In other cases - you will not miss anything.    … Expand
