Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War Reviews

Every time I click on game in steam and it brings up this secondary launcher. It just freezes at the screen and I can not even play the game. Wasted money on something I can't play. Fail

This is one of the worst strategy games I've ever played and I genuinely think the devs made this game on bad purpose. It's probably an experiment to see how well a game can sell with the Warhammer 40k IP slapped on it. I've played free browser games with more strategy and better balance. Furthermore, the fact that they're still churning out DLC for units that would take 1 person 1 day to make is very telling. Check out Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War (the first one) if you're interested in the Warhammer 40k universe. It has all the same factions and units, and it's much cheaper and far more polished.

This game is challenging but fun and satisfying when you win. You have 2 ways of winning, clearing the map or completing the 6 phases of a story. Did I mention this game is challenging? Pretty high learning curve but worth the effort. Don't be put off by the DLC strategy the developers use. It is annoying, but if you get the game and DLCs during one of the frequent sales this game is worth the price. It is also worth your time if are a WH40K fan. I highly recommend it.

It fun, if I had my dream you would be able to add master crafted war gear to the unit types especially leaders, also assigning special characters which would lock you into a specific army version.

It's fun, can be a little lacking but still fun

great mash up between red alert 2 and civilization style play. great strategy game, praise the Emporer

great game but as some terrible balancing issue. i can't even enjoy a normal ai battle .i try many settings . the ai cheats beyond any ai i ever seen. its terrible. i would of enjoy this game if it wasn't the ai cheating and the wild life been op some time. like it makes it a frustrating experience . i really wanted to enjoy this game i try my best but now i am done with this mess.

While a little long in the tooth graphically now, this game IMO is the best WH40K grand tactical game out there. Many combinations of different unit types and capabilities, configurable game scale and features, and general 40K vibe make this a highly replayable game. Enjoyable even to non 40K fans (although by now I am one myself).

Nothing is balanced and it should be kept that way. Fun game to play with friends. Pick it up on sale but not a full price kind of game.

No campaign Base game has only 4 factions (Imperial, Space Marine, Orks, Necron) Everything else requires DLC that cost almost as much as the base game .
