If you like fast pace, close combat and short map games this might be your liking. Visuals are nice and gory but the game itself is too short and without script. There is some talk about different groups, but none of that is relevant and can be skipped because you just end shooting the same stuff non the less. And final point is weak guns, this isn't a shooting game. Your primarily liquidate foes with your magic powers, without them you can't make it. But from retail... maybe.

From a 40k perspective: Hard recommend.

Art direction and scale of the levels is amazing, and Necromunda/40k's setting has been realized incredibly well. The aesthetic diversity of 40k in this blows most other 40k games out of the water. I did not expect to see as many environments as I actually did.

The game itself? Honestly reminds me a lot of PS2 era shooters and TPS action games. Like Ghost in the Shell: SAC for example. Arcadey not-quite boomer shooters but also not arriving in the modern territory yet. Nothing groundbreaking, but if its your type of thing, you may really like it. Its a fast paced action shooter including dashing, double jumps, wallrunning, cooldown abilities and takedowns/executions for HP. "We have Doom Eternal at home." if you will.

And I really enjoyed it.

The level and enemy variety is better than expected. You can customize your gun with parts(which isn't really much of a game changer in this style of game, but a nice detail nonetheless). Sidemissions are more like challenges than real missions(some of them take like 90 seconds), but are a nice little way to make credits. Which is important because the main missions don't give enough to sufficiently upgrade your character.

It is janky, yes. Especially the inventory and UX in general. And the story is told very clumsily. Half the time I had no idea what the plot even was. But apart from that it worked for me. Never crashed for me either, and neither did I experience other bugs.

I've seen some reviews state inconsistent difficulty. But it isn't inconsistent at all. Its a case of enemies dying in seconds if you get the drop on them, but vice versa, you going down just as quick if you're in the open and surrounded. So utilizing your dashes and slides/wallruns is key.

This feels like a game made by people who really like the source material and it shows. The heart is in the right place. I expected nothing after reading Steam reviews, but having finished the game I think that people are a bit too harsh on it. Focusing on what it isn't(and maybe doesn't even wanna be) rather than what it is. So if you like Necromunda and look for a light action shooter set in the universe, this is definitely a recommendation to try.

Like I said above, it feels like one of those PS2 era games to me. It doesnt win awards and most people don't even know it exists. But if it fits your taste, you may like it a lot. I certainly did.

Fun, serviceable, worth buying and playing, but don't expect wonders. It's like Budget Doom Eternal a Necromunda setting. Doom set the bar super high tho, so "budget doom" is still good.

Gameplay is heavily inspired on Doom reboot and Doom Eternal, with constant movement being the norm rather than finding defensive positions, game also pushes you to be agresive to heal instead of avoiding damage through positioning. Doesn't feel as good as Doom Eternal, but it's still fun. Big drawback is enemy AI. It's bad, which means difficulty comes from overwhelming numbers (of enemies, damage, shields, hp, etc.) and needing certain counters for certain enemies. Fun but gets old.

RPG elements are mediocre and easily forgotten. Gun customization is good tho, and it's quite fun to build your guns to your particular taste for your particular strategy. The dog is... optional. Like you can include it in your game or not and it doesn't make that big of a difference.

Graphics and sound are good, but unremarkable. Sometimes it's hard to see what's going on, but that's location-specific. Music is good, but not remarkably so. Voice acting is adequate, but not impressive. The story is there I guess.

The game is fun. It won't be your favorite, but it's money well spent.
