fun but gets repetitive

User Rating: 8 | Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War PC

Overall this is a fun digital adaptation of tabletop play, but the maps get repetitive because there's not enough "random generation" and if you have 4 "players" on the map, it can get cramped FAST. The graphics are good, especially unit special effects. The sound effects are great as well. The soundtrack is SUPERB, especially when playing the different races. Speaking of which, sorry but necrons are still too OP especially when obelisks and tesseract vaults come into play: a handful of those are nigh unstoppable, and the hp regen ability soon costs no mana in the tech tree which means when you rotate them in/out of battle intelligently, you'll be too OP. Storywise leaves a bit to be desired. Instead of incremental story progression thru mission objectives or cutscenes, we often get a huge wall of text before/after gameplay and "capture the flag" type objectives in mission.
