Battlefleet Gothic: Armada

No summary available

There are a lot of good ideas in Battlefleet Gothic: Armada, and it certainly looks like a great tactical space combat game. But it struggles to build that into a coherent whole, making it tough to recommend unless you’re willing to utterly dedicate yourself to fully comprehending the inaccessible systems of its combat.

I've spent a few days playing Battlefleet Gothic at this point, and I don't have all that many criticisms. I've a few small complaints, such as wishing the camera would pull out farther, and I wish the it was easier to see the specialties of ships as you're selecting them, but almost everything about BGA is impressive. It captures the essence of its inspiration while faithfully translating the exp...

Battlefleet Gothic: Armada is an excellent space real-time strategy game that never gets boring and keeps surpirising you with every new mission.

The already impressive number of productions set in the Warhammer 40K universe has just been augmented with another interesting title. Battlefleet Gothic: Armada – a digital rendition of a 1999’s board game – is some truly good tactical RTS.

I can tell when I’m playing a game whether I dislike it due to design flaws or that it simply isn’t my taste and in this case it is the latter. I personally found the combat te...

Warhammer and fans of epic space battles alike will be delighted to plan and conquer deep space in all its RTS glory.

The game’s visuals are stunning, with the game being powered by Unreal Engine 4, it should be no surprise. The details of each ship is a delicious sight to behold, even the Ork’s floating piles of garbage can be admired for the attention on the detail of each model. It should be noted however that the game’s anti-aliasing is horrible and setting it to maximum often leaves a blurry mess. Toning it ...
