Warhammer 40K: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters Review

Warhammer 40K: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters Reviewed on PC by Leana Hafer.

Most of the time I spent with Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate: Daemonhunters, I was having a literal blast plotting how to turn the tide of a seemingly impossible battle with my trusty squad of veteran, psychic space paladins by chaining together just the right moves in just the right order. On the other hand, there were moments when it stacked the odds so high by trying to cram more enemies onto the screen that I felt absolutely exasperated, and wished it came up with more clever and less annoying ways to challenge me instead. But that complex, sometimes too-punishing campaign is supercharged by endearingly over-the-top, gothic bridge officers and a story that never runs out of new wrenches to throw into your plans. It's one of the best XCOM-likes out there. And if there were a hall of fame for 40K games that really understood the setting and did something thematically appropriate and exciting with it, Daemonhunters would certainly belong there.

Things are looking bright for the future 40k games. Hope they keep it up

My space marine got a paper cut. Had to wait 30 days for him to heal.

It would be really cool if they made a 40k game that’s like battlefield/battlefront or For Honor.

Fun Grey knight lore. Their captain is in the hell esentially doom guying demons. Every once in a Blue moon cultists will try to summon a demon and in fact accidentally summon him instead. The bloodbath is legendary.

May the Omnissiah calm my PC's machine spirit and protect it from bugs and crashes.

"...but your well-laid plans are not going to be derailed by a missed shot at 95% chance-to-hit from point-blank range". TAKE MY MONEY!

[Freezaboi]

Sounds about right, everybody knows the first mission in Xcom 2 Gatekeeper is the hardest damn mission

[elfelganor]

What I'm waiting for is the definitive edition of DOW. Definitely with updated factions and maybe a new expansion because of the updates.

[utodbz]

The normal mode in this game is pretty hard..

How to win any situation/battle:
3 justicars with honor the chapter put a damage dealer, paladin wit a hammer blends and stack ap on him and watch him purge.
But 4 justicars with 5 ap each is also awesome.
Focus on your objectives and try ignore the hoards.
This is mainly for destroy the bloom stacks mishs.

Hopefully it comes to consoles next year. I've been wanting to get into this series

[Codigoduro]

If you want to cheese to the extreme, go one interceptor and three justicar...
No boss (other than last one) lasted for more than 1 turn.

[SingaporeanInKorea]

This is the only XCOM clone where playing on the lowest diff level made sense haha

[OSTemli]

Now waiting for space marine 2 may be a bit tolerable

[veiltricks]

The demon was pretty lore accurate lol

[evanpage]

"For more than a hundred centuries..."
Ten thousand years. Just say ten thousand years. This is like the 40k equivalent of saying your baby is 12 months old.

[The_Gamer_DaD]

Played this in 1998, this is a no brainer for me. 100% getting this. Does this have a multiplayer option ?

[fragtore]

Not a fan of this blizzard style graphics and quirky characters - would like smt more grim. But it looks fun! Will try on a sale or gamepass.

[robertosheldon]

eager to test my xcom 2 l/i battle hardened might against these vile creatures of the warp.

[zitens]

2:00 Thats the only thing that makes the game terrible.
Grey knights are immune from warp corruption.
