That’s not to say the multiplayer is negligible; far from it as, for many people, it’s where the real value of the game lies. It’s just that from the way the ships look, to the voice acting, sound design and cutscenes, everything is exactly how a Warhammer 40k title should be. The people over at Tindalos Interactive have done their homework, thus providing an excellent Warhammer 40k experience and the first proper 40k game we’ve had in quite a while. Furthermore, they’ve promised continued support, especially in regards to balance, which is the biggest gripe I have with the game at the moment. Knowing that a Space Marine fleet DLC is on the way and keeping in mind a particular detail from the campaign cutscenes, I’m already getting excited at potentially getting to play more races and at the thought of a possible expansion somewhere down the line. This being said, it’s pretty clear that, while there are some things that need fixing, Battlefleet Gothic: Armada is a game you don’t want to miss out on.

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 down to a lower though shows all the details much more clearly and to some will be much more acceptable than a game without aliasing. Sound is rich, which cannons have a good boom and sharp cracks of laser fire, more so with explosions. On top of that, the voice acting both in the campaign’s cut scenes and in-game units is superb. The acting is spot on for identifying characteristics as described for each race: the Imperium with their British accept, the raspy voices of the corrupted Chaos, the wild barbarian yet witty nature of the Orks and the aloof nature of the Eldar.","https:\u002F\u002Fsirusgaming.com\u002Fbattlefleet-gothic-armada-review\u002F",0,{"id":179,"author":180,"outlet":183,"summary":189,"review_url":190,"review_date":13,"original_score":191,"normalized_score":48},151146,{"id":181,"name":182},12920,"MonsterVine  Staff",{"id":184,"logo":185,"name":186,"website_url":187,"score_format":188},153,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fmonstervine-logo.png","MonsterVine","https:\u002F\u002Fmonstervine.com\u002F","5","Now as much as I enjoyed the thematic nature of Battlefleet Gothic: Armada, I did tire of the RTS battles.
