I cranked the graphics up to High (I have a GTX 1070) and with a good FOD so I could see a good distance on screen and trying to pre-empt the attack. The graphics are superb and it looks like you are viewing the battle from space. Selecting my Space Marines Space Wolf faction and commencing battle Graphics This is where you can choose your ranked matches and face some tough competition online. Not only can you select a skirmish against the AI but also one against your friends and online players too. Before you enter a match, you select the AI difficulty to which I kept it to the default 3 skulls or medium before launching my attack. Why? Sounded awesome.įrom there I selected my Skills which included the Augur Probe, selecting my upgrades and finally selected an Ironclad Fleet before continuing on with the skirmish. Not knowing too much about the space marines, I chose the space wolf faction. When in the battle screen, you get to choose your faction and to add more depth (or initial confusion in my case) there are sub-factions to choose from too. Starting a New Campaign, I recommend starting on Prologueįrom playing Warhammer: Dawn of War for many hours, I always liked the space marines and again, I chose them here too when playing the skirmish and online modes (1v1 and 2v3 ranked).
Without spoiling too much about the campaigns, it sets up the story of the factions pretty well and you get to use to those playstyles too. Not only can you play the campaigns of Tyranids, Necrons and Imperium but there is a prologue too which I HIGHLY recommend as if you are new to the game like myself, it’s a great way to set you up for the basics. Then there’s a Battle mode which allows you to have local and online skirmishes along with 1v1 ranked and 2v2 ranked matches, though I feel some players may be out of their depths until some hours are put into practice. The campaign is solo and lets you command the Tyranids, Necrons and Imperium on various missions and set scenario adventures through space. The game modes available are ‘campaign’ and ‘battle’.
If you are not familiar with the original tabletop game, the factions are: But, how grand was it? Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 Main Menu GameplayĪs mentioned before, Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 has been adapted from the Warhammer 40k tabletop game that ended its run in 2013, and has brought in the 12 original factions from that game. Luckily I was able to set aside some time to play the second instalment Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 from Tindalos Interactive developers which promises an even grander full-scale battle adapted from the tabletop Warhammer 40k universe. I just never got around to playing it but it always reviewed quite highly. Somehow, maybe because of the number of games that seem to be released weekly, I missed the first Battlefleet Gothic: Armada even though it was on my “list”. Although I have played many genres of games over the years, the RTS genre is the one I will always return to since love of them first began on that day. With an array of games to choose from, I picked up Command & Conquer: Red Alert. A 13-year-old me was going to Toy R Us, an annual tradition in my household, to spend my Christmas money on a new game for our first home PC.
