    Whether you're a Warhammer 40K aficionado or not, this is just the right kind of uncomplicated stress relief to distract you from the BBC News 24 ticker.

    A very intense, yet very short game which will be enjoyed by action fans, even if they are not fans of the Warhammer universe. It is incredibly fun, but it lacks more duration and an online mode.

    Instead of simply clicking around a screen and hotkeying special moves like in Dawn of War, it's fun to actually control a Space Marine in a more personal, focused way.

    Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team is not an awful game. It lacks a lot of polish and gets repetitive quickly.

    While by no means a bad game, Warhammer 40.000: Kill Team doesn't completely succeed in softening the long wait for Space Marine. Repetitive missions, a hostile camera and an uneven difficulty ultimately make for a disappointing experience.

    Kill Team's dual-stick shooting action has an old-fashioned arcade appeal, but it's too simple to stand out from the crowd.

    More work than fun, this dual-stick shooter soon becomes a repetitive and tedious chore. Only for die-hard completist 40K fanatics.

    big fan of warhammer so this was a must buy for me to take up some hours between now and the 25th of august

    great game, my first time    big fan of warhammer so this was a must buy for me to take up some hours between now and the 25th of august

    great game, my first time playing, a top down duel stick shooter and i'm really enjoying it, aside from a few mistakes with the mythology, the game is very good and solid. you can play as much as you would expect from a warhammer fill in the characters and their abilities.

    aside from the above the only other gripe i have with kill team is that the camera will randomly focus on a character at a time meaning you can't go a head or, you will get killed or depending on how the Camera feels, you will leave your partner to die.

    i've heard that this game doesn't have multiplayer online co - op and i can see why this is an issue, i just play 2 player or single player local with my friends. I can however understand why this would be a turning point for buying this game

    all in all it is an 8 out of 10 because it looks like it should and does everything you would expect of it except having online multiplayer    … Expand

That said the reason I managed to give this a 7 was because the world is so great, its a bit like a DoW mod (shame there is no PC version).

    I think there are some limiting factors. Melee characters are pretty difficult to play with and you can't skip cutscenes even on a repeat attempt. No online play (that I could find) means this is potentially tough if you want to play as say the assault marine as he can cut through enemies but has trouble dispatching some of the larger mech units.    … Expand

Ok that is not the end... you can see enemies with the radar, but no easy. You canot save until the ending of the level even if you have lot of temporary saves but you must finish a level to save it. I like the design of the ork's starship (and the inside too). A little good game like microbot, star raider, raw or tokyo jungle. Not the game of the year but some charms and lot of fun.… Expand

Bad checkpoints, unskippable cutscenes and a real lack of any sort of skill involved anywhere. Game relies upon an overwhelming amount of orcs to throw at you.. if they dont kill you the extreme annoyance caused by having to redo and rewatch sections and cutscenes, again and again will surely do the job.… Expand
