Warhammer Games are notorious for being awful shovel ware. Somehow making the grim dark future of warhammer 40k boring and repetitive. There is a new 40k game on the block, one that seeks to deliver fast paced, bite sized 40k gameplay. and its a free to play mobile game of all things! After having played Warhammer 40,000 Tacticus for about 100 hours since launch, I feel I am finally ready to give my verdict on the game!

Full disclosure, Tacticus is sponsoring this video. They told me they wanted to sponsor a full dedicated video about the game since I had put so much time into it, and it could be any kind of video I want. I figured a review was a great place to start. I told them that I had things I like and didn't like about the game and would be completely honest with my audience about it. they agreed and encouraged this, as the feedback from me would ultimately help make the game better.

A point I would like to add is that the process of getting new characters is really slow. And once you do get those characters, they are very under-leveled, to the point you cannot play them in your current team at all because they will die instantly. So now you have to spend more time leveling them on a relatively playable (and boring) level, over and over until those characters are relatively playable. That is what made me quit the game, as it felt like I was being punished for unlocking new characters. I play Combat Cards more. Give that game a try Wes! Do it! As usual, love your work and please carry my nurglings.
Yeah I agree, I don't mind grind on moblie games, but when you have to either invest those tomes to give exp (which you dont get a lot of) or grind them from level 1 all over again? Yeah its what killed the enjoyment of the game, it does have decent gameplay, but too much grind for AFTER youve unlocked the new characters
I haven’t ran into this issue because I had already picked out the characters I wanted and instead of leveling up all these other characters I hardly use I would save up and when I finally unlocked the characters I want I could easily get them up a few rarity’s.
Once you unlocked most of the campaign Missions, to quickplay, powering up Characters goes pretty fast. The one thing that bothers me is, that they implemented yet another currency to Upgrade characters from rare to epic and so on. And the currency is different for each tier. Farming Splinter takes time but is managable but the other currency is super rare.
If you don't like it, it can't be helped, but unlocking and leveling up characters is the whole point of a game like this.
It IS grindy as hell though, you often get just 3 shards a day for standard grinding and characters go up to 500 shards for legendary, Epic and rare characters needing 250 and 120 shards respectively.
This game is a grind not only cause of that but because you can't even level up or promote your team at all if you can't progress the campaign's or are stuck. For example I only have three xenos characters for a campaign that requires four. The fourth character takes 150 shards to unlock which can take weeks and then you have to level them up which again takes weeks and you can only play a limited number of matches a day
One of my biggest problems with the game, and one that you touched on briefly, it’s how long everything is and the grind. Characters take weeks to unlock since you can only raid missions 10 times and I average about 3 shards in those ten times. Scale that you to even uncommon units who need 50 shards and it takes a long time.
Character progression is also really slow, they require a lot of XP per level (most of which you’ll give them through books, playing missions to level is insane) and leveling only really exists to increase skill levels. The ranking system is also really slow, and often times early to mid game makes you complete large swaths of the campaigns to get items needs to get characters out of stone 1. You can also get screwed over by items not being available in the campaigns you have unlocked meaning you just have to wait.
That’s another thing, all the waiting. Completing 1 campaign mission means 30 minutes of waiting, arena tokens take 3 hours per, onslaught take 12, raid take 6, and salvage take 8. It’s kinda ridiculous and keeps me from getting really into the game.
I love it, I play it daily at least, I just wish it moved faster than an iceberg
6 months late but its true, its fun enjoyable, but the grind to get character is ridiculous
...I swear, Games Workshop hates it's fans. Instead of doing the right thing and taking a few years off and making a proper 40k game that would blow peoples minds... a Mobile Pay to Play/Win dumpster fire. I am not mad at you Wes, I get it, need to pay bills. I am just over how Umbrella operates, sorry I meant Wayland-Yutani... sorry (get those mixed up) I meant Games Workshop.
I'll be honest, I'm not really sure how it works behind the scenes. But I'm pretty confident anybody who wants to make a Warhammer game Can. They just have to pay for the rights to the IP. Games Workshop doesn't make any of these games. People just come to them and say they have an idea for a game and GW says "yeah all right sounds good Go ahead"
I remember the days where we had to wait like five or six years to get a Warhammer game. Dawn of War and Space Marine were great but there was like 8 years between them. I kind of prefer this shotgun approach since we're getting a wide swath of different types of games. A lot of the lower budget ones have turned out to be incredible. I played the hell out of mechanicus and I bought it for a dollar on steam. I'm also really enjoying tacticus. It's not for everyone but it's definitely not pay to win as the only thing putting money into the game does is helps you make a little bit more single player progress. So you can if you want to, but why would you? I think multiplayer modes is when pay to win stuff gets really predatory.
I know. I STILL play Dawn of War 1 online, with Discord strangers, heavily modded.
I even play DoW 2 at times, and the servers are up and about.
It's too bad that the Warhammer games i play the most are 10+ years old. One of them pushing 20.
Mechanicus is honestly the best 40k game I’ve played, haven’t gotten a chance to try Chaosgate, but it looks cool. Goddamn Spacemarine 1 is now $60 on Steam, ya know, the early 2010’s game. That’s so scummy.
@@lordwafflesthegreat Have you tried Chaos Gate, Battlesector, or Mechanicus? All recent, and all pretty good overall.
boohoo mechanicus daemongates space marine dawn of war battlefleet do not exist, darktide will not exist, I just like to cry because my life is empty and this company will not make it better :(
Ive played it pretty much since launch - and it is *painfully* P2W. The only fun modes are Onslaught and Salvage Run, and theyve got insane cooldown. Getting shards is beyond a grind and down to luck. Ive got a mission to do damage with Thutmose. Except Ive only got 18 shards and it seems to only give 2-3 each 10 daily raids. So its gonna weeks to even unlock the character. Same story for energy - its gone within seconds, then you have to spend money to play again. Its just a P2W grind. Could have been really good - it was really promising, but its just another cash grab.
Been playing for a while and only spend money to get Yarrick and the only main gripe I have had is that unlocking characters takes a lot of time and actually improving them to keep up the pace with campaign enemies can be a pain. Especially when you need to be sharing XP books, gear and items across so many characters once you start unlocking more
I can't wait for the Tau to show up. Very happy the Aeldari have joined the field.
Yeah I'll be downloading when T'au come in
For the Greater Good we stand, brother!
@@upengraden3792 you're gonna have to play ultramarines for the first few days🥲
I love how vastly different all the factions in Warhammer are.
I really love the Tau and Orks, but when I saw the Aeldari I think my spine compressed from the cringe.
They're supposed to be the next faction to come in, actually.
Really love this review Wes! Hope you can make a comp suggestion video for Tacticus too.
I threw $10 at this game just because I like it and felt like the devs deserved something for their labor & for bringing one of my favorite universes to life in my pocket
Great review Wes. I just started playing Tacticus a few weeks back. Great game to fill time in during calls at work. Just hoping that Squats get a faction soon now!
I didn't even think about that! But you're totally right, They should definitely get added to tacticus!
I’ve played for a month on it. Great game to kill time or to have fun
Hi Wes.
Can you do an actual review of the MTG cards and card game? Will you use any of those cards as proxies for the tabletop?
Proxies for the tabletop? That's hilarious but probably not. If you mean substituting the cards for models. But yeah I've already pre-ordered all the decks. Currently. My plan is to never change any of the cards out and leave them exactly as they are. So having all four of them will make it kind of like a board game that I'll keep forever.
@@weshammer how often do you respond to emails/comments? I found some 3D print/STL creators that I’d like you to check out.
It would be nice to do a comparison video of official GW minis to STL prints, talk about weighing costs to each other, the best way to start collecting/army building, etc
Great video, was veteran league the top league when you did the video?
I will watch the review after writing this: The game is very grindy, many comments say that and it is true. But other than most gotcha games Tacticus can really be played on the side because of the long cooldowns and how long it takes you to upgrade certain characters. I find this really refreshing compared to Raid: Shadow Legends for example where you have so much to do that it fills an entire workday. What I find sad is that, yes the comments are right, there is not much tactics in most modes. The most tactic is in the raid mode where most bosses bring very different mechanics and sometimes you really need to think (or watch some youtube vids). What is VERY frustraiting is that there is, once you understand how the mechanics work, mostly just a very tiny roster you need for most modes (Eldryon and Ballator for example). But you have a steady progression from my point of view, I play for 4 months now and can beat most content without paying too much money (20€ in 4 months, thats like nothing and it was give something back to the devs). The problems start with most of the events to unlock new characters. The normal ones are easy but tidious, the legendary events are really annoying because you need a big and broad roster of champs. If you dont play since the start your progress will stop at 25 to 50% of the event. yeah they come back but to be honest often you need to level and gear characters you otherwise would NEVER use. Overall an okay expierence you can enjoy on the toilette, other than Raid which takes too much time.
So do they have the Aeldari yet?
As a student that doesn't have a load of cash laying around to spend on books or way overpriced miniatures, I appriciate this game for allowing me to interact with Warhammer stuff for free.
I am loving it. I think the only thing I dislike is just the cooldown on some of the game modes. I want to play more but can't. But outside of that it has been a blast.
25 tokens to upgrade a character just one level (which is nearly nothing compared to what they throw at you). You can only get a token playing a specific level AND the percentage to get the token is incredibly low. Add to that that you can only play a level 10 times every 24hours..
it’s insane how much they push you back hoping to get you to pay for a loot box where the chance of getting what you need is also very slim.
I must be playing a different game or maybe I’m in a timeline I don’t belong to, where most people just seem to bow down to these exploitative unethical corporations.
Don’t get me wrong. I’d happily pay 20$ for this game if there were no lootboxes or microtransactions. And would even pay extra for “DLC” like the new T’au they are adding, to support development.
But this casino style approach where they stretch progression as much as possible via inhuman grinding to force people to spend money is abhorrent.
I can respect you making a little passion project weshammer. It's ok to make a video like this even if they do sponsor you ! We appreciate the info and the honesty and all the other great vids you make too !! Some of us will be sure to give it a look no doubt now, and I hope you feel good, because you have directly helped the community, helped the company and developers behind the game, helped yourself and helped us find what no doubt will be an awesome game to some enjoyers, your a good man wes keep it up :)
Hi guys, Just an FYI, Got an email informing me i was to contact someone on telegram what i assume to a fraudulent link who is imposing as you @Weshammer
Figure if they sent it to me they might do others, pretending to do a ps5 / giveaway. Very sure it's not legit, as i dont think your doing that at the moment. a Warning to all other lovers of the grim dark c: godspeed
WesHammer keep up the great work, love your content. And thank you for turning me on to Warhammer 40k.
Loving it so far. Nearly unlocked my third black legion character. The pvp summon spam gets very silly, I kinda love it.
PvP summon is my largest issue
we need a really good 40k mobile console and pc games
Free to play by it's p2p after about three days.
I'm 2-3 weeks in and hoo boy have I had a blast.
I spent $ on the Eldar quest but aside from that I've more than doubled my strength compared to my guild mates, though I'm most likely going to join a stronger guild as I never asked to be the leader xD.
I agree with every single point you've made. I wish the devs would be a bit more transparent when it comes to factions as I really, really want my buggy bois to be playable.
I’ve been playing (free) for a week or two now. I have 4/5 Ultramarines, 3/5 Sororitas, 3/5 necrons, 3/5 Black Legion, 2 Orks and 1 Death Guard. My biggest issue, is that the progression is so goddamn slow past the first week. Having the chance for upgrades, spending precious little energy to replay or raid a cleared stage for just a chance at getting the needed upgrades is just insanely slow when those needed upgrades are forced to combine 3-6 of them for the true upgrade past the first week. The required character shards are few and far between, I’ve got a number of my characters “maxed” at their current level since it takes a long time to get enough shards to rank them up and continue leveling them.
This could be a cool game, if they just charged $5-10 for it and got everything (not micro transactions for the campaigns). This game is typical P2W, the whales are going to keep this game going for years, while 99% of the playerbase quit within six months.
It's alright, just hate the amount of time it takes to get characters just for them to be weak.
In my PvP experience, the victory points scattered around the map ensured skipping turn wasnt as viable as many players thought. In LIVE PvP, you must get 5 points, you get them from killing characters and taking tiles marked as Victory Points. A battle can be won or lost on capturing this points, even if you suffer many casualties, taking them ensures your opponent needs to wipe you out or remove you from them to win, while you only need to strike at their weakest forces to secure victory.
Also, summoners mostly suck in PvP, except for the Black Legion sorcerer.
and I have realised, maybe the reason there is no voice acting is because they try to keep the game´s weight on memory as light as possible. I have gacha games with dozens if not hundreds of characters each with their own voice lines in different languages and BOY! the difference in weight from those games to Tacticus is absurd!
I got the Game since u were the one who recommended it.
I like it! Has a lot of potential for tons of characters and factions, tho it's evolution is quite slow, ngl
Ya, I’ve been playing it for a while now, it’s been a blast. I’m around level 120s-30s on the first campaign. Almost got 3 necrons. And my legendary I got is the typhus of the death guard.
A sponsored review can't be called a review. You made a commercial, pure and simple....
What faction of chias do you play
For the Aren, also tap the enemy range tile to see their range, move to the edge and then skip to gain first strike.
The game is just alright. As I see it, a game needs to be either fun or interesting. Even if a game isn't the most fun, it should at least be interesting enough that I'm willing to keep playing through its less fun moments.
Tacticus is somewhat fun, but nothing special in that regard. When it comes to being interesting however, it's really not very interesting a game and I feel that is its biggest flaw. I love 40K because it's so unbelievably interesting in story and style, and I feel like Tacticus forgoes all of what I love about 40K for something that feels a bit sterilized for the sake of selling a product to the general market. I didn't dislike the game while playing it, but I get more positive feeling out of watching 40K lore videos than playing a game that stirs nothing in me, positive or negative.
Ok, I came here to see if you did the games as well.
Looking forward to your take on Rogue Trader
Thanks man, I have been looking for a mobile game to play here and there casually. This looks great, as I've gotten tired of brown dust and fallout shelter. Will definitely try it out as a free to play
Great video mate, I agree - downloaded and played for a few hour after this video and it’s a great game. Uninstalled now however, the energy system is a dealbreaker for me, I don’t play games that dictate how much I can play the game. Shame, really enjoyed it.
It definitely needs addressing currently, I watch the one ad to give you more energy and the Blackstone I earn goes towards paying for more energy once each day. Doing this I get enough gameplay to satisfy me. But it's a real shame. I'm not a fan of energy systems like this in mobile games
@@weshammer agreed, I rarely have a few hours - but when I do, I want to be able to play.
They could add a game mode that lets you play always that you can earn energy. That would let players earn more energy to keep playing. My biggest gripe are the timed packs, you get a new character, level it up and there comes a 2hr or 4hr timed pack. Those packs should stay in the character view sections, then you could decide later if you like the character to buy that pack. It should just unlock the pack not put it on a timer.
When your early and just say nice
Have u ever try gladius, armageddon or sanctus reach? If in your opinion this is a good game those titles are all game of the year
The chests usually have a large number of raid tickets.
I run my own guild. 30/30 players, doing epic bosses just chilling with the homies. I play in my free time. I have two ways of playing. Deplete energy asap and move on or stay and grind for whats available, especially raid bosses. Super fun if you can accept that you're not playing FIFA therefore quite dumb to assume energy system is a cashgrab. This was my introduction to the overwhelming (and expensive here in Argentina) Warhammer series and honestly im grateful for it. Best game i've played in a while. Not suited for instant gratification type of players
I just wish they would make a tabletop VR Warhammer 40k game that is just like playing a standard game but animated in vr
I wonder When will they put leman russ or banblade
Finally decided to give this game a try after the recent lore video. All the negative stuff seem to be exactly the same as a year ago ... I'll probably play this for as a side game. Can't do much to progress once u are stucked. The raids using the energy is by far the one i hate the most is for there just to slow the progression. Only been playing for like 2 days and i already felt everything the negative side of it. I'll probably play little longer untill the honeymoon phase goes away. I do the the graphics and how each unit looks and the main game play.
New to warhammer and trying to engage the tabletop game but I think this game will help me cope up a bit since I can't afford a set yet.
Can we get a lore Video on the characters in game please
I literally just downloaded this game a couple day ago cause of you. It’s fun to a point. I you do have to pay to get the campaign’s areas is hard cause everyone has character with 4 start that people pay for.
I wish there were defined classes. If the PvP system had limits to how many of each class you could have it would be more fair. Example if you have the black legion summoner, the canoptek spider, and the imperial commisar you can spam the field with summons, a totally broken tactic.
That's pretty much what the PVP mode turned into after it had been live for a little bit. It was so broken. But it was also kind of hilarious when you and your opponent were doing the same thing. There was like 80 characters on screen at once 😂
@@weshammer Felt like I was playing an actual game of 40k! 😆
@@JacenDarkrider fr always kill summoners first and never let the spiders multiply or you get swarmed so quickly
@@fakexanax3218 if you can. Half the time it comes to creeping forward, spider and summoner in the rear, and then bam all hands on deck. Mosh pit 40k style.
I just recently discovered war hammer a few months ago and haven’t bought my first set yet. But I’m liking the necron faction
So did you finally buy a necrons miniature box?
BEST REASON 2PLAY
ONLY FIVE HEROES PER
FACTION
EACH FACTION GETS ITS OWN
CRUSADE
NOT SIMPLY LITTER but
INSTEAD INTEGRITY OF STATURE!
Love the game! Playing for awhile now! Climbing the ranks in Arena and the Clan is improving day after day! NOT 1 PENNY SPENT!!!
How do you feel about necromunda, deathwing, and battlesector?
Love deathwing, but it's single player mode is kind of garbage. The bots just don't know how to play. It's way better with a group of friends. Necromunda is pretty good but it needs to let you control more characters and when I played it was pretty glitchy. Haven't tried battle sector.
I just recently downloaded deathwing and necromunda on the pc. Played a couple of levels of each and im just enjoying the fps and story vibes. I have battlesector on xbox and I've put double digits of hours into it. I actually really like it. I've always loved warhammer but never had the privilege to get into the table tops and battle sector gives me really big table top vibes. I think you should check it out bud. I was like 7 when I first played chaos gate so my memory is a little hazy but battle sector feels like an upgraded visual version of chaos gate which is what I imagined the table tops were kinda like.
Kudos for the reply by the way. Not many people I watch on CZcams reply and the half the ones that do give basic ass replys. I'm always looking out for videos from you. Keep up the good work bud.
Oh yeah dude, hanging out in the comment section is like my favorite thing to do! I used to reply to every comment, it's kind of hard to keep up now, but I always try to hang out for at least an hour or so after I post a video 🙂
It's more appreciated than you realize bud
Lol Wes we need a video of you playing the VR quest Warhammer 40k battle sister game that would be great content in my eyes
I would love that! I got to get a VR headset first but I would certainly like to do this!
When you're used to playing Warhammer games on your PC then move somewhere with a bad connection to internet, paying for something like this isn't really all that different from the constant dlc lol
I just started a week or so ago. I’m loving it. I have roster envy.
'Free to Play' means 'Freemium'. Basically you'll get into it and realize that to win consistently you need to spend money for weapons and other features. I'm not a fan of that format. Also, if it's not like that, it means there are burdensome ads littering the experience. If I could just drop like $5-10 on the game and get the whole thing without bullshit, I'd rather do that.
I've actually been playing for a few weeks now, and have enjoyed it. I mean, I haven't spent any money, and still had fun. I will say that joining a solid, supportive guild will help make things better.
Bruh all they need to really get warhammer40k some REALLY serious clout is to make a first person shooter like warhammer40k: space marine, but it has a multiplayer, and good campaign
Honestly I love this game so much especially all the factions and the charecters.
My biggest peeve is that I cannot customize any models' appearances. I find this very ironic.
I really love tacticus it actually required tactic unlike most other Warhammer game I roll Abaddon first try and he is pretty good I legit one shot Saint Celestine with his ability it was pretty hilarious
More 40k makes a better world for us all ;)
Downloading to try now! Thanks bro!
Thanks for covering this Wes
Im running Tacticus after watching major kills video and it is decent. They do fairly well at engaging the player. They are growing and trying new things . I do agree Warhammer is all over the place but this one is not bad at all
It was fun at first but got boring when the difficulty ramps up and you have to grind.
Maybe ill come back if they add the Adeptus Mechanicus
Having a blast. Really well done all around. From lore to graphics to events. It's definitely a grind type of game. Don't HAVE to spend money but they at least offer some low cost things.
Awhile back i made a shitty comment about your hair and bandanna and i have since watched a ton of your content, and lore videos, and now i feel terrible because you have made some awesome breakdowns and videos and i highly respect your passion and viewpoints. You are a good dude and valuable to the warhammer community and i hope one day you can forgive my shittiness.. you actually seem like a likable guy and i enjoy your videos
Hey no worries dude. Believe me you are not the first to make such jokes. I get about 20 everyday 😅 there is nothing to forgive my friend 🙂
@@weshammer damnit, you ARE a cool guy 😭 now i feel worse lol
Honestly for a fun time passer it's a good game
Honestly I believe we live one of those times when you need to get writers of games and actual 40k players and fans to get on the tabletop and really get into the lore. I'd guarantee that at least 3 or 4 good games could made. One might even influence Warhammer Fantasy/Total War Warhammer and related games.
It's a gacha game; so, if you want one of them, then go ahead and play it. If not? Don't. It's not a bad gacha game, a bit more grindy than I'd like, and got a bit more pay-to-win than I'd like as well, but overall, it's not at all a bad gacha game.
I tried it, but uninstalled after few dozem maps. It wasn’t really intuitive what each unit does, and what the terrain features should do. Usually you just loose a turn because some random grass. Just wasn’t that fun.
Plus the traditional mobile game upgrade item and resource spam, that isn’t really my bag.
I was into 40k back in middle school (04-06) but was only getting the figurines for decoration, later I had almost every dawn of war games but lost interests because of the clunky mechanics. This mobile game is honestly the first time I've been hooked onto this genre for the game play not just the story line.
Yooo I'd love a review of chaos gate.
Going to try this, once I get a better phone.
I think that the biggest problem of the game is the opening sound! I set the game to have no sound, but that slash is still there, and is really annoying!
They need to improve the progression, the daily mission should give you a requisition
But man the designs dude? Theyre awesome, they really look like they gave life to a miniature
Maybe this is just my bias running wild but it kind of feels like Snowpoint is actively trying to limit the effects of whaling in the game. Not remove the benefits entirely, but limit them all the same. I for one am actually for this fresh mentality if it indeed exists.
As for the grindiness of the game, or slow pace of unlocks, I sort of feel like that's more a problem with gaming mentality these days. Too many people who think Skinner boxes are great games. I want to take time unlocking things. I want to see a thing I can unlock, plan a route to it, then enact that. They give you ways to inevitably farm all the campaign characters through guaranteed rewards. Orcs are unlocked through dailies and quest XP. Necrons, at least the first 3 come quick from the campaign. Black Legion is sprinkled across a couple modes. They may take a little while, but you have time to focus on the first campaign in the meantime. I'm pretty confident a lot of people complaining about things taking too long would have left just as quickly if they unlocked everything in a month. The game just came out, there's only so much content there and they can only add things so fast.
So far I've seen more optimistic signs than rain clouds so I'm gonna stick around for awhile.
The cool down time is soul destroying. Progress seems very slow at the moment being a week into playing it.
I wish I used all my requisition and black stones for the 10 drops with 1 guaranteed character. Possibly could have unlocked enough characters for another campaign. It's a snail pace at the moment.
I am downloading this based on what you and MajorKill said about it!! Thank you for your honest opinion!!!!
Hey Wes the game is good is just one problem it will not be mainstream because it doesn't anime art style to attract more people.
I think it’s pretty good
I think that the requisitions should be split into imperial, Xenos, and chaos.
I like to think tacticus is just a commercial and more compact version of relics of war
It's decent, Ok to be blunt but Getting characters is hard and all of the Eldar fans only have two (I'm waiting for Night lords and 1k sons) and mainly just the campaign just being that (yeah unlocking a Death Guard and Black Legion member is easy but considering i need 3 Chaos Members BLACK LEGION specifically). The game is more of a daily log in and a few battles or two..
Tbh they should just remove the energy system in it's entirety. It's an arbitrary limit put on the player for no justifiable reason.
I'd like that a lot. Though I'd settle for it just being removed from raiding. And refunding the energy if I abandon a mission within the first turn
@@weshammer that'd be the bare minimum, honestly. Besides that the game doesn't look half bad.
I like how the models look very similar to the ones in mechanicus too
Love the work you do! Thanks man 👍
Started playing first day it came out, cause you my guy got me hooked on the grim dark of 40k.
And I must say that I agree with most of the stuff. But one thing I truly agree on is the fact that the game is not pay-to-win.
I'm from Mexico and the exchange rate for items is OURAGEOUS, not their fault, and even if I wanted to spend money it's not really needed, all I have to do is good-old fashion grinding and poof!!! Game keeps on going.
Love the videos and thanks for introducing me to this wonderful lore!!
I think some people absolutely hate the idea of grinding. But I'm kind of into it. As long as the gameplay is fun. Having to grind missions that I've already gotten a 100% on would be super boring. But I don't mind going back and three starring things, that's fun to me.
@@weshammer ohhh snaps!!!, I didn't think you would reply to my comment!!!
But yeah, I'm an avid fan of RPGs and JRPGs so grinding for materials is kinda second nature to me now 😊 Much love my guy!!!
Back here after a year to say its even more grindy and less fun, 15 hrs for onslaught timer anyone?
I play this and raid Sl and both have the same sort of feel when it comes to the raid tickets/energy ,both fun games tho 🤘,I personally want a good game again like space marine was but with more to the multiplayer even tho the multiplayer on SM was fun especially when you get messages saying at least I was killed by fabius bile not john453689 🤦🏻🤘🤣
Ended up un-installing, gameplay is ok for the most part! just don't like how slow progression is... that alone just kill's it for me.
I have unlocked 4 campaign without spending any money... 😆
so that WesHammer on the ladder board is legit? i thought it was an imposter... 😅
Salvage mode is a bit tricky, sometimes i can't clean the board, usually because i summoned too many scarabs or groots... 😅
很中肯的评价，还有个很大的问题，这个游戏对于大多数手机游戏来说，手动操作的点也太多了.....希望研发能看到这条视频好好优化下吧。
Awesome vid :D
@Calen Williams shhhhh I got here early be quiet 🤫
I'm iffy on a lot of mobile games, I've had problems in the past overspending on them so I try to avoid them
I love 40K, and honestly my dream game would be an actual Fire Emblem style strategy game
I really want to actually build a miniature army. But the painting and stuff is intimidating an I probably won’t just because of that
you should totally try! i thought the same thing for years and i reget not starting sooner, i only began painting and Warhammer in general a few weeks ago, i got a starter kit with the few models and paints and its actually a lot easier than i thought , i can see myself improving every model
I have been playing it and it's feeling like just another forced story mobile game. GW really needs to do a classic Battlefront 2 style game featuring galactic conquest campaigns to massive PVP firefights 64vs64 or larger, including everything from squibs to Titans to being able to summon Renowned characters, chaos incursions or Intervention from God Tier Characters. (edited for readability)😅
That would be awesome! I would love a battlefront style 40K game
I really don't like how limiting the game is. It's very linear in its combat, and sort of places the player in a very small box. The way it's described here, it sounds a lot more complex than it actually is imho. And I get what you're saying about complexity just for the sake of complexity being a bad thing, but I still do feel it could have been a bit more complex while still being a good game. Then again, I haven't played 100 hours of it, but more like 10 hours. Maybe it gets better.
First red flag 🚩 it’s a mobile game. Second it’s basically just a fire emblem heroes reskinned as 40k. It’s a good time killer on the train or on the toilet. It’s not terrible but it’s a mobile game.
I think this game is pretty fun. Horus Heresy: Legions is my go to though
I nearly rage quit this morning. Finally saved up 10 requisition orders and the damn rng decided to screw me over with 2 characters I already had. Terminator and 2nd necron boss chap. Pretty damn annoyed. Does requisition orders only give characters u already have or can it unlock new ones because the odds of 50 characters, having 9 unlocked and getting 2 I already have from the requests is rediculous.
No. I had around 6 of the 10 Drop Pod things so far. 4 were shit. One was good, gave me a new Character. And one was super good. Gave me a legendary Character and another rare one, both new Characters. So i guess that the majority of 10 Drops i meh but some really push you ahead.
12:39 UG YES! i hate it when games like this have stuff like that, all together good games are held back by that one feature
One year later and most of the negative aspects are still present. There is no proper way to farm characters which takes out the fun of it unless you decide to spend a lot of money on pulls.
