Warhammer 40k fans, what should an Adeptus Custodes game be like?

[Starred109]

Now that we have an official imperial guard game in the form of Darktide, what do you think an Adeptus Custodes game should be like? I've heard a little discussion about this, one guy saying it should be a Dark Souls-style game with brutal combat gameplay and tough bosses, but I was thinking something more along the lines of Space Marine's gameplay, just with more abilities.

meh... a game based around the custodes? That would be boring. They're basically the improved version of Spess marines but with less personality. Be rather boring.

Now a game where you have to fight custodes...that would be interesing. Like some eldar trying to break into the palace because you know, eldar diplomacy.

Anything you could do with the custodes would be more interesting with a regular spess marine.

If anything, a Custodes game should be a Top Down game, to portray how much stuff they can kill without melting your pc.

Custodes are so much more limiting than SM

Set before fall of Cadia it would just be a game about oiling yourself up and sliding around the Imperial Palace emptying waste paper baskets.

How is darktide an official imperial guard game?

[AzZotik]

If anything this is a particularly sad Dark Heresy campaign with a very strict and sadistic GM. Actual Imperial Guard game would be an RTS like Dawn of War 1.

Darktide is however official, just like Vermintide before it, they are recognized canon, Darktide even had actual GW representative (Matt Ward himself) oversee it, they had multiple Black Library authors officially write short stories for Darktide, Dan Abnett himself design Moebian Domain and our enemies.

Dynasty Warriors?

Maybe super late-game warframe? XD

Yeeeah a first person shooter is probably not the best POV for an imperial guard game. Like you said, probably an RTS, or even an epic-scale game. Epic 40k Final Liberation remake, anyone? They remade chaos gate (sort of, more like reused the title), so it's not *completely* out of the question, especially with that new heresy-era tabletop epic remake.
