We went hands-on with the upcoming 'Warhammer 40K: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters.' For the Emperor!
In the grim darkness of the 41st millennium, there is only war. Fans of the tabletop wargame Warhammer 40,000 know these words well, and it’s a fitting tagline for the grim future that it portrays. Humanity is besieged on all sides by aliens, heretics and daemons — and humanity itself is no beacon of truth and justice, with the tyrannical Imperium of Man ruling with fear and zeal. Basically, it’s an awful place to live, but a fantastic place to set a game.
From our time with"Daemonhunters," one of the biggest takeaways we had was the attention to detail that Complex Games has put into the environments. Warhammer 40,000 is a very visual game and, while the models are part of that, the terrain you battle over also makes a huge difference. During our playthrough, we caught ourselves recognizing terrain pieces and buildings — things that we actually have sat on our shelf.
That's right, no more missing shots with 95% hit chances. These are Space Marines, humanity's finest soldiers, and they do not miss. This allows you to much more predictably plan your strategy, as you won’t get screwed over by a bad roll of the dice — something Warhammer players are all too familiar with.
This mission required a little more tactical forethought, as the enemies on the map were a much greater threat to our Grey Knights. Battling through the map, we got a sense of the interactivity of the battlefield, as we were able to blow holes in walls and kick doors down to gain angles on our enemies. There was a lot of verticality to this map, too, which we found out to our cost when a barrel exploded and sent one of our marines flying over a balcony.
