    Daemonhunters isn't just one of the best W40K games of recent years, but also one of the most solid tactical strategy games ever.

    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, over-the-top, 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.

    Daemonhunters doesn't just live up to the expectations, but is one of the best tactical games out there.

    Despite my minor grievances, Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters is exceptionally fun. It’s a treat for the eyes, ears, and the bonce. It’s violent, gore-filled, crunchy, and full of charm. Underneath all of that is a wealth of depth and customization that begs to be explored. If you’re a fan of the setting then this is an easy sell. If you aren’t, then this is still a fantastic introduction to a wacky universe that’s well worth delving into.

    The violent and oppressive far future of Warhammer 40k has been beautifully recreated in Chaos Gate Demonhunters. The XCOMesque style of game play, both for the missions gameplay and for the base management, fits perfectly with the theme and the lore of this franchise. Very detailed graphics and superb soundtrack close the deal.

    Warhammer 40K: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters is an excellent XCOM-like and one of the best 40K games since Dawn of War II.

    Plagued with technical issues partially resolved patch after patch, Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate Daemonhunters has also problems in terms of balancing and AI. The boss fights are well done, but it’s also a little monotonous as you find yourself playing the same dull couple of missions from the start to the very end of the game.

    Very good, in the future with new playable factions and campaigns it could be much better than XCOM (universe and stories with much better potential).

    I really looked forward to playing this one. I loved the new XCOMs, I've played them many many times. This game tried to mimic but failedI really looked forward to playing this one. I loved the new XCOMs, I've played them many many times. This game tried to mimic but failed horribly. It's just so damned repetitive. Everything in it is repetitive. After playing the exact same missions over and over again which characters that feel exactly the same ... I just couldn't do it anymore.
    That might be the worst part but there are many others. They took out the RNG attacks but threw in much worse random systems: warp surges and random campaign events.
    Lastly, there were the many times I moved my character to a position and the game decides you're going to stay there forever. No more movement, you can't even warp out! Enjoy finishing the mission with only 3 characters.
    It's all so frustrating for such a bland game.
