Great Strategy game, and a even better Warhammer 40k game. This game is very stressful and difficult your first run, and if you are new to strategy games you will struggle. If you get unlucky with your early RNG loot and limited upgrade choices in the beginning will you will likely have a tough start. The game expects you to fail, so losing a battle isn't the biggest deal like it would be in Total War for example. The game takes failure into account. Starting a new game is always an option and you can complete a sizable chunk of the game in just a few gaming sessions. The writing is supremely creative, and serves as a great first intro to The Mechanicus and the Necrons. Just be warned that the Necrons have been massively updated since this game came out, and they barely look like the new Necrons. This game is very replayble with different characters you can side with or not. The game takes into effect what missions you do or don't do. Every new game you will unlock troops, weapons and upgrades completely at random. One play through you may never see a super heavy unit. In another you might unlock it right at the beginning. The game is remains interesting and fun throughout multiple playthroughs. This game uses a cognition system. I haven't played anything quite like it, but I enjoy the concept. You need to take advantage of your cognition (action points) with your abilities, positioning, and skills. Both active and passive. Most attacks use at least one cognition point, the more power the weapon the more cognition points it will require generally. It can be frustrating if your upgrade your party in a way that does not give you a steady supply of cognition points. It is also possible to set your party up fairly easily in a way where you will almost never run out. The class system is fun, but ultimately limited. By the end game all of your party will likely have perks from almost every class. If you want a simple melee character, after you max the melee focused tree you will kinda be forced pick another specialization for your melee guy instead of being able to continuously make your melee guy better and better at melee. The armor system is also super limited, and I wish there were some armor pieces you could find out on missions. Besides the nitpicks, the game is fun, and complex enough to hold my interesting. I am more of a Real Time Strategy fan, but this game is able to hold my attention, and the combat is deeply satisfying once you stop getting your ass kicked.
