About this game
Lead humanity’s greatest weapon, the Grey Knights, against the corrupting forces of Chaos in this brutal and fast-paced turn-based tactical RPG. Root out and put a stop to an insidious plot to infect the galaxy with the Bloom, an intergalactic cosmic plague capable of rotting worlds into oblivion.
Armoured in faith, shielded by devotion, the Grey Knights’ very existence is rooted in mystery, enforced with mind-wipes and executions. Experience life in the 41st millennium and follow the journey of these elite warriors in a narrative penned by acclaimed Black Library author, Aaron Dembski-Bowden.
SHAPE THE FATE OF THE GALAXY
Upgrade your base of operations, build new facilities, conduct research into arcane mysteries and engage in combat missions across multiple worlds to purge the spread. The Bloom corrupts without prejudice; your choices will affect which planets succumb… and survive.
FORGE YOUR CHAMPIONS
Command your own, personalised squad of Grey Knights; learn a range of diverse skills and psychic abilities, unlock powerful equipment and specialise your champions into four unique standard and advanced classes. Each of your warriors can be customised with voice, armour and facial options to make them your own.
PRECISION TARGETING
Grey Knights are an elite chapter of Space Marines and are not in the business of making mistakes or missing their shots. The Precision Targeting system puts you in control of your tactical decisions, allowing you to plan your strategy with confidence, whether by taking shots from afar with sure-fire accuracy, or dismembering and dismantling a foe in brutal melee combat!
MUTATING MONSTROSITIES AND THEIR MINIONS
As the Bloom corrupts worlds, environments will evolve and erupt with deadly hazards and minions, cultists and the infamous Death Guard Chaos Space Marines will mutate with pestilent boons and blessings, giving them new attacks and abilities. Adapt your tried and tested strategies to overcome unsurmountable odds against towering foes and their servants.
CINEMATIC SLAUGHTER
Charge headlong into fast-paced tactical combat. Eviscerate and execute enemies up close in gory displays of prowess, or strike from afar with blessed bullets and powerful psychic energies. Use the dynamically destructible environment to your advantage by tearing down pillars or slamming vehicles into unsuspecting enemies.

Recommend only if you have played other turn base squad strategy games. Only if you played XCOM2 first and then want more. This is not even close to being XCOM, but much better than most games in this category. It takes some time to get into it, but once your marines start levelling up it becomes engaging. Hard, engaging, and fair.
A few warnings. I absolutely hate the tutorial which last like 1 hour, non skipable. It feels like you are playing a freemium game: click this and only this to continue. "Good, you are a brilliant commander" Now click in this flashy or nothing will happen. "You are amazing".... Yes, get ready for one hour of that before you get to actually play the game. Also during the tutorial there is part where you HAVE to move to this one square causing the enemy to get an attack of opportunity, and the game is not super clear where you have to move because the entire screen is flashing.
You are going to waste a lot of time. You have to wait for the animation and movement of every squad member to finish before you can do anything. Drives me insane.
Story missions are great, but in between there is a bunch of mandatory search and destroy missions. Kind of boring.
Your guys are close combat, and there are a lot of enemies with much longer range. You will get hammered before you adapt; very unique gameplay.
Finally, several times I find my self thinking I would rather play XCOM than this, but I already played the hell out of XCOM. If you are in the same boat: Good Game.

I was fully prepared to love this game, being a huge XCOM and 40k fan, but ended up disappointed.
Core mechanics are poorly explained (I had to figure out that APs reset when you trigger a new pod, and still don't know what determines whether or not they take an action). The UI is a mess, upgrades are a pain to navigate, the enemy variety is low, cutscenes are goofy, and the Grey Knights are so dull as a protagonist faction.
I can only grind through 2-3 missions in a session before getting too bored with it, which was never an issue in XCOM. At least I'm not 'one-more-turn'-ing into the small hours again. I think if I wasn't such a fan of turn based games, and so keen to get my money's worth, I wouldn't bother.

A good tactics game with Warhammer 40k lore casually implemented. The game play drives you to move aggressively or have your units chipped to death by the swarms of enemies that get thrown at you.

I have been looking for something to follow up XCOM and this came out of nowhere. I love the 40k universe so I may be biased, but I really like this game. I like that the fact that you can quickly get into this game, customize your squad and get into combat. There's no BS spreadsheet micro-managing of ammo and guns like in Phoenix Point. The game is great and I recommend it.

Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters isn't perfect but it's fun and has a ton of heart and atmosphere. Overall the game is engaging, immersive and, as I mentioned above, fun. If you're a fan of X-Com and Warhammer 40K in general than this game is for you. The art direction is great, the lore is on point and the campaign is interesting and full of twists and turns that do the writers a lot of credit. I should mention that the designers opted out of the RNG combat model used in X-Com. Every action's outcome is predetermined and you can see what that outcome will be before selecting the action you want, no more missing at point blank range. The game has a lot of re-playability and I can see myself playing it a second time. Definitely a solid game to have fun!
