Bloomin' marvellous
I’ve never been one for playing aggressively in turn-based tactics games.
To say I’m overprotective is an understatement.
Thankfully, the Grey Knights inWarhammer 40K: Chaos Gate - Daemonhuntersare made of sterner stuff.
I mean, just look at these brutes.
It may not be my most natural style of tactical manoeuvring, but man alive is it liberating.
But Complex Games haven’t just put Firaxis' colossal strategy epic up on a fancy gothic pedestal here.
Indeed, Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters leans hard on that first word of its subtitle.
With missions spread out all across your doomed star system, you simply cannot be everywhere at once.
Enter Chaos Gate with that mindset, and there’s plenty to admire here.
It helps that the Grey Knights are so goddamn robust.
Making the most of these is hugely important in Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters.
As any seasoned tactician will know, action points are the lifeblood of your party.
Such power does come at an additional cost, however.
That’s just the start of it, too.
The decision to ditch XCOM’s pesky hit percentage is key to this as well.
To close, I will leave you with this.
My Knights were scattered, penned in by enemy overwatch cones, and my crewmate unprotected.
Thinning out the crowds wasn’t an option.
Their armour levels were too high, and many were too far away to do any significant damage.
In the end, though, it was the only option left.
It may not have been the most perfect win, but hot damn, it sure felt good.
So embrace the chaos, friends, because Daemonhunters is the absolute business.
