Is the game worth it ?

[Friels]

I've never played a warhammer / 40K /vermintide game , always wanted to try one out but there's so many of them it's kind of confusing , so do you think this one is worth it ??

If you're into the x-com or turn based strategy games this game is probably worth it for you. It's not necessarily easy so it has a bit of a learning curve but so far it's definitely a fun experience.

Edit: to follow up, it depends a little on what you're looking for. If you want a turn based strategy game, this one is pretty fun. If you want a real time strategy game I'd suggest dawn of war 1 or 2 (3 was kinda bad). For shooter/action type game get space marine. If you want a left 4 dead type game keep an eye on darktide, that one is supposed to release later this year.

For Warhammer (fantasy) you could consider one of the total war games or vermintide

I'd personally suggest the first two Dawn of War games as first contact to Wh40k games. They are quite old at this point, but I figure they get the atmosphere a tad better (the little details like reminding you that "cowards die in disgrace" if you trying to quit the game :D ).
But - 6 hours in - from what I can see from this game, it seems that the devs put a lot of effort in the presentation of the campaign and it seems (to me) more interessting that the first two mentioned games. So if you want a new game to try: Go for it, try this one.

if you like xcom you'll like this.

In the current state the game does not worth it. If they iron out the performance, maybe. Until then its a hard pass for me.

tbh i like both the vermintide style and the turn based combat games , it's more which one to take since there are so many different ones, also the universe seems super detailed so makes me think i'd have to play all the previous games to figure out what's going on

You haven't, there is no interconnecting story other than general WH lore (which you can gather via youtube, the WH40K-Wiki, books etc.). Also keep in mind that the majority of WH turn based games are pretty trash. So yes, this is one is great, albeit quite hard if you did not have any contact with the genre before. You can also have a look at Battlesector and Mechanicus. The rest you can safely ignore for now (give or take) if you are just getting started.

By the way, Fatshark (the Vermintide guys) will soon release a Vermintide-like game in the WH40k Universe. It's called Darktide and looks quite promising already :- )

[Apone]

I think some basic understanding of the WH40K universe is needed so you have an idea of what's what. Vermintide 1 & 2 are both nice games, but if you want an FPS in WH40k, Space Hulk Deathwing visually is a lovely game. WH40k Deathwatch is a good turn-based one, and Spacewolf is another option. If you put wh40k in the steams search bar and read some reviews/comments about the games that would help you.

Personally, I wouldn't touch Chaos Gate Daemonhunters yet (I'm a loyal fan of the Chaos Gate released in the late 90's).

Honestly if you do not have problems with action games I would recommend Space Marine game, the original one, as your starting point for W40k games. For a lot of people it seems like a good jumping off point. It is dumb fun and one hell of a power fantasy.

For strategy games something like Dawn of War 1 for RTS games and Mechanicus for turn based games seems like a good starting point as well. DoW explains itself pretty well and Mechanicus is pretty noob friendly since it has only two factions.

[DeusTempestus]

Yes, its worth it. And there are no performance problems at all, on my side. And i have an mediocre pc system. Dont know whats going on with some systems.

Do yourself a favour and don't rely on people who don't own the game to tell you to get a different game.

Decide for yourself, you always have a 2 hour test drive which is enough for the tutorial and 2-3 Missions afterwards. If you like turn based tactical games this game is absolutely worth a shot.

I don't know much about WH40K but I can enjoy the game for what it is, an tactical turn based game which actually let me forget time while playing.

20 hours in, and I LOVE IT.

As others have said, if you like XCOM style games this is a safe bet.

As far as for an introduction into the WH40k universe then yeah I guess, but it doesn’t attempt to explain the setting to you so you’ll likely want to look a few things up yourself for an overview. But then most games don’t and I don’t think it really matters.

My only caveat is the artsyle during cutscenes, while beautifully coloured, the faces are more in line with Arcane (Riot Games/Netflix) than your typical WH40k style of artwork. It’s definitely WH40k but it does take some adjusting to.

Good game, with some nice touches to the XCOM formula - you can always refund if you find it isn’t for you.

[Apone]

As has been stated above try and refund if you don't like it, simple. "Personally" I wouldn't even waste time on it unless it was on Mobile or free, it looks like a mobile game.
