The only 40K I’m getting for free anytime soon
Epic Games Store hasrevealed the next titlethat it will be offering up to its user base free of charge, and hopefully you have plenty of long afternoons to kill, as we’re going 4X with Slitherine Software’s deep strategy titleWarhammer 40,000: Gladius – Relics of War, which will be available to download from March 16.
Released on PC and Mac in 2018, and developed by Proxy Studios,Warhammer 40,000: Gladius – Relics of Waris a Games Workshop take on the deep, turn-based, 4X action that fills the hours of strategy lovers everywhere. Players choose from one of four races — Imperial Guard, Space Marines, Necrons, and Orks — before engaging in long-form combat to hold dominion over the titular world of Gladius. Unlike most 4X titles, there are no “Diplomacy” mechanics.
Well, it’s not called Compromisehammer 40K, is it now?
On release critics praised the title’s adaptation of 4X to theWarhammeruniverse, as well as the game’s action, but specialist press noted that the title failed to truly capture the intricate nature of 4X titles, resulting in a release that was both engaging and enjoyable, but fails to break the upper echelon of more dedicated brands such asAge of Wonders, Alpha Centauri,orCivilization. ForWarhammerfans, however,Gladius — Relics of Warwill certainly scratch that strategic 40K itch.
Warhammer 40,000: Gladius – Relics of Warwill be available to download free from Epic Games Store from March 16-23. Until then, you still have time to pick upRaw Fury puzzlerCall of the Sea.
