There is A LOT of Single Player Content for this game

[Weemdog]

I’ve noticed there are a lot of posters upset that there haven’t been any Campaigns released along with the last 2 DLCs and that content is being made exclusively for the multiplayer environment. If you are looking to purchase this game (or the DLCs), but are being scared off because you will only play Single Player, don’t be.

Here’s a list of all the Single Player content, all of which is included in the base game (the only thing you don’t get if you don’t buy the DLCs is the ability to play AS that faction…you can still play against that faction)…

-Original Campaign. 20 missions playing as BA.
-Replay Campaign Mission. You can replay any campaign mission you have completed (have to be BA, but you can use any units you want).
-Planetary Supremacy. Allows you to play a series of skirmish matches on randomly generated maps against 2 other factions (whether you own them or not) on a hex-based world map. Full disclosure…this game mode is in Preview, and has a ways to go before it it fully realized. But the Devs have said it will be one of their focus points going into 2023.
-Demonic Incursion. Horde mode that allows you to go up against Khornate Demons to see how long you can last.
-Skirmish battles. 4 different gameplay modes and ~12 (I forget the actual number) different maps.

As for DLCs and what they bring to Single Player…

-2 Elite Unit DLCs add 2 units each (2 BA and 2 Nid) to the campaign, so you can re-play it and have different units/enemies
-Necron and Sisters are playable in Planetary Supremacy, Demonic Incursion, and in Skirmish battles.
-Generally speaking, more factions means more ability for the Devs to improve upon the single player Planetary Supremacy.

I totally understand why people want a campaign with new faction releases. But it’s false to say there isn’t single player content or that none is being added. And it’s important to realize that most of the Single Player content above has been added post-release of the base game FOR FREE.

This is a great game, whether you like SP or MP, or both.

nice joke bro..... incursion is a highscoremode boring... PS takes 2 h to complete with no deep system...the BA Campaign has no real expsystem in place and no replayvalue.

The first game was great but wake me up when they add a real campaign and I will consider purchasing some DLC.

For all our esteemed game developers here, let me ask ya'll a question: The dev's have come out in one of your threads and posted what their plan is for the game. Gladius, just using the publishers other example, produced about 2 races a year as well as a unit expansion pack. This game has produced 2 races a year, as well as a unit expansion pack.

They have already told you that PS will be worked on during the 2023 year, it says its in preview. They have already told you that they will consider new campaigns in the future. They have added 2 new SP game modes for free. Other than complaining about something they have told you won't come out for awhile, what else do you all want?

This game has the potential to be the best WH40k tabletop addition to PC. Honestly, if I was a dev looking at you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ posting every other day in this forum the venom that you all post, I would move on to my next project.

Grow up. You don't like what they have to offer? We have already heard your opinions. The rest of us are fine with the process and trust the devs and publishers to produce more great content for us. Move on, or post some constructive feedback on PS or incursion. Stop making the rest of us read your nonsense which has already been address in multiple posts.

All you do is drag this game down, and hinder your own possibility of getting new campaigns in the future. You all live in your own circle jerk, while the rest of here are just enjoying the game hoping it gets the continued support it needs. It sucks if you don't have the cash to support projects you care about, I do and I'm willing to spend it here.

I'm sorry if I come off as mean, but these people are working at delivering a great game for us and all you people, who have probably never developed a game in your life, do is drag us down. Be positive and work with the devs rather than just saying the same nonsense that has already been addressed.

Keep up the great work Black Lab games, and I agree with the OP.

Paided dlcs since release. why incursion mode before build up PS ?look at playercount.do i insult anyone?no. did i insult people that dont agree?no. u have to grow up and dont tell critical people to shut up basicly.

[Solis]

Bro, they have added as much free content as they have added DLC. 2 faction packs, 2 free game modes, in addition to being very responsive to user feedback.

Why add incursion? Adding a sandbox map like what we are asking for is a big task. There are a lot of games where the over-world map and battles with a reactive ai is the whole game. Here's a shot in the dark, they release it in the short term for a highly repayable mode for all factions while PS is in work during 2023. I don't know your background in computers but its pretty hard to make a sandbox like what people are asking for. Even the all mighty Dawn of War was a pretty scripted campaign disguised as a sandbox.

Why don't we look at some other 40k games? Chaos Gate is more than double the price for the base game, and has so far released one DLC since its release in May. That DLC includes 1-2 unit classes as well as a new game mode. That DLC also costs more than the 1 unit and 2 race packs, total of somewhere around 35 new units, released for this as well as the 2 free game modes.

Never insulted anyone? You insult the dev's every post, whether it is saying their work is a joke, saying it is bait for more people to buy the game, its halfass work, or that they have no vision. All you do is insult the devs because they don't cater to you're specific wishes.

Its your right to have your opinions, but your concerns have been responded to already, multiple times, probably more than anyone else in any forum. Here's an idea for you buddy: Why don't you provide something constructive rather than repeating yourself for the 4millionth time.

That's stretching it a bit init? I'd argue that most sp content is self-contained and boil down to skirmish mode. Very redundant imo.

That being said PS is my biggest hope for the game, really hope they have something good in store because currently it's quite shallow strategy wise.

Happy to see some positivity. As long as the promise to fully flesh out the Planetary Sup is upheld, I am quite happy. With a deep Planet Sup mode, game can be played forever.

New Sororitas faction is also quite interesting, structurally, which bodes well for future factions. I love trying figuring out new SoB upgrade/build orders for Supermo.

play something else kid

That is the sad thing though. This is a game with great potential but little content. Lots of shiny models and nothing to do with them.

The DLC has not changed that fact. The PS mode is not fleshed out to be more than passing interest.

For those that don't want to deal with waiting for another real person to finish their turn content is lacking.

These criticisms are not because I don't like this game. They are because I love this game but there are only so many times I can run through the only campaign that exists.

I am hoping the Demon mode is challenging and fun.

I agree the developers seem to be listening and trying. I hold out hope they will realize some of the potential of this game. They just are not there yet unfortunately.

And yes this is my opinion, a paying customer. The thing that this game needs more of to be successful.

You may have a different opinion that is cool but don't be a troll.

I like how OP deadass listed "campaign" and "campaign, but again" like it's a feature that the game doesn't delete itself after being played once.

Then also has "skirmish battles, but kind of connected but not really" and "skirmish battles, but not connected."

[ATH!]

Well, I liked the original campain, and playing on hardest difficulty the second time is totally diffrent experience but I wish just that there were more

First of all, I question whether you’ve actually played the game (or played it recently), because every feature I listed is a separate way you can play this game single player. Playing the campaign through the first time, and playing a specific mission using whatever BA army you choose (launched from a different menu) are 2 separate (albeit similar) ways to enjoy this game single player. Similarly, Playing PS with randomly generated skirmish maps is totally different than playing Skirmishes using one of the (totally separate and different) prebuilt maps and gameplay modes.

Second, I’m not sure what post you are quoting from, but it certainly isn’t mine. I would suggest that by making quotes up, your point (whatever it was) is lost.

Look, everyone is entitled to either like a game or not. I’m not telling anyone they have to like this game…just that I do. I’m also not telling anyone they have to like the Single Player content. Of course some won’t. But there are lots of posts from the same small group of people who say the same thing over and over again…that there isn’t any Single Player content or that the Developers haven’t added any Single Player content since release. Again, that’s simply not true. My intent was to balance that by showing people who haven’t played the game there actually is a good amount of single player content.

Ultimately, there are generally 2 ways you can react to a game if you don’t like it or aren’t having any fun. One…you can sign up for the Beta and provide your opinion along with suggestions for improvement straight to the Developers and you can provide CONSTRUCTIVE feedback via Steam and Discord forums. Or two…you can complain without providing any reasonable suggestions, and you can flame people on the forums who disagree with you, using words/phrases like “deadass” or “nice joke bro” that are intended to demean. I’ve never understood people who choose option 2.

And for another poster above…If you don’t like the game, fine. But I don’t see why people find it necessary to show up in forum posts for what has to be a year-plus to try to persuade others to also hate the game…especially in a mean way. Obviously you can do what you want, but it seems like you’ve said what you have to say. I think it’s time to move on. Oh, well. I guess that’s just the nature of the internet and these forums.

And for what it’s worth, not that my opinion really matters more than anyone else’s, but I think wanting another Single Player Campaign is totally valid. The first one was fun and most of us want more of that. The Developers have heard these opinions, and have chosen in the near-term to pursue other Single Player options, which is also valid (as I think Demonic Incursion is really fun). That being said, they have told us that more campaigns are a possibility, just not in the near-term.

Totally agree with this and your other posts. This is an excellent game, which I really enjoy.
