This is a game so full of testosterone, little girls need to shave after playing it
I have rarely had much interest in Warhammer 40k but i have always respected it for being a world so manly you can smell the oldspice from the models(Maybe it is just my weird warhammer playing friend spraying them with oldspice. I don't know and i don't want to know) SpaceMarines have always been pretty cool but nothing else has caught my interest. I did not enjoy Dawn of War but i decided to give this game a chance
Gameplay-8
God damn this is genius! the controls are so smooth it is like buttering your bread. The Chain Sword, Thunder Axe and all that stuff make this game so much more fun than if it were just a shooter. Of course i have some problems, really stupid problems but those are problems i have with the world, not the game. I can't blame the game one bit for being the world. The space marines have no mobility, and why should they? they are walking tanks. But i like to play more agile characters so it is just stupid me being picky. I also dislike the shooting part of the game. Also really stupid since you know... Warhammer 40k. I just don't like having to deal with the orcs in the way way back shooting and killing me while i am chomping trough. Maybe it is just that i am in the hardest difficulty but i also like it a bit since it makes me think before i storm into battle. The Space Marines actually feel like Space Marines! They are big and loud and so are theyre weapons.
Characters-9, you know what? i am giving them 10!
There are no boring characters in this game! wait... they have those scrawny UMANS! as the orcs say. I'm bumping it back to 9. The Space Marines are always hardcore, manly and noble as hell. The main character is even more noble than Nicolas Cage was in Season of the Witch. But the best part of the game are the ORCS! What not to love with them? They come in all sizes! They yell everything they say and they don't use some letters like H and R because they are always shouting. This is one of the few games that made me want to go to the Warhammer 40k Wiki and read about them. Some i knew like they are actually Plants and mushrooms and stuff like that! But the best part of them are they're psychic powers. Orc technology is based on the one fact that they believe it works . If more believe the better it gets! and it works on them as well! since they're gods are just 2 guys fueled by Orc belives
Story- 4
The story is really boring. Save this guy before orcs get to him. Save this item before orcs get to it. It is fairly boring but it is just so people are not just in a survival map.
Overall
Overall i realy love this game the feel of weapons, the orcs and of course the Space Marines but like i said, it lacks in story. I will play this game again at some point
