Here are six things to keep in mind when you jump into the dismal world of Warhammer with Daemonhunters.Įvery conversation in Daemonhunters will entail at least a dozen references to the larger world of Warhammer.
That is paint, right?īut if you’re new to the game or even the genre, all these ginormous weapons and ginormous-er men swinging them around might be a bit overwhelming. If games like XCOM, Gears Tactics, and (of course) Warhammer 40K: Mechanicus are about your speed, Daemonhunters takes that core gameplay and puts a fresh coat of red paint on it. You’ll charge across blood-soaked battlefields, sprinting from chest-high wall to chest-high wall to face off against hordes of enemies while the camera quick-zooms up close to let you drink in the kills in indulgent slow-mo. A mysterious new corruption called the Bloom is spreading quickly across the galaxy, and it’s up to you and your team of roided-out Knights to put a stop to it before it claims the lives of billions.
Players lead a strike force of Grey Knights, a secret chapter of space marines who defend the Imperium against the Chaos Gods (again, subtlety has yet to be invented in this universe). Then again, Warhammer isn’t a franchise known for its subtlety, and this newest entry is no exception. Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters is a top-down XCOM-style turn-based tactical RPG, a descriptor that is somehow shorter than the game’s title.
