Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team

While it may be plagued with small technical issues and repetitious gameplay, the game rises above its problems with a solid co-op experience. Kill Team is another example of the rule that everything is better in co-op.

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.

Solid, chunky fun with chainswords. [Oct 2011, p.115]

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.

It may not blow your mind, but you'll be too busy blasting everything that moves to care.

Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team is a pretty fun arcade shooter when someone is sitting beside you. Co-op is the only good part of this game because the singleplayer is seriously lacking and online support is nowhere to be found.

And "also-ran" hangs all over Warhammer 40K Kill Team, really. It isn't actively bad, but it makes enough missteps to fall short of good.

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

If you are looking for a simple action game that you can play with a friend in local co-op to kill a few hours, may be Warhammer 40.000 Kill: Team is your game.

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 campaign is quite short and can be frustrating at times. Once your done the campaign, there are collectables to be found in each of the game's levels, but those alone aren't reason enough to play through the game again. Even though Kill Team is only $10.00, the game suffers from too many problems and your money is best spent elsewhere.

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

Kill Team is a short-lived game. You can blow through it in a mere five hours, and forget it shortly thereafter.

It works. And you can kill some stuff. But that's about the only positive things I can say about it.
