I love my Warhammer 40k games.
But this? No.
Bad port all the way. And it doesn't even support widescreen.
Co-op is broken in all senses. Can't even plug in a second controller.
They both move the first character. Even if one is using a keyboard.

It even tells me what button to press.. On an Xbox pad, when I'm using a keyboard, and mouse.
Really-really, isn't worth it.

I have bought this game being fully aware of its mixed reviews. But I asked myself how bad can it be? Now I know.
The technical glitches are mentioned enough in other reviews and honestly I can forgive the camera being stuck in one level, the intro video showing green artifacts and so on, if they were the only flaw in the game.
Even when the camera works (that is most of the time) the view is often obscured by objects in the foreground. It is plainly annoying to have to play were is Waldo ever so often to find my character inside the scenery. And having a panning camera in a twin stick shooter game is a plain bad Idea. Especially if it’s two players. I remember seeing more space marines drop to their untimely death because of camera movement, than falling to the enemy.
Speaking of which: the combat while initially fun is utterly unbalanced. If you want a cheap victory, go for the rocket launcher. This of course leads the scoring system in the two player campaign ad absurdum.
So if you do not expect much but a mediocre twin stick shooter in the 40k setting, go for it. If you want a good game, I am afraid you will not find it here.

Gauntlet meets Warhammer 40k. As long as you go into this game expecting not much all of your expectations will be met. The forced camera angles will give you a headache; the poor transitioning from console to PC will grind your gears; and the story is laughably... well the story is more of a narration, which is to say a disembodied voice will tell you to go "here", or go "there", and destroy "thing". $9.99 is a bit much of an asking price imo. This is more suited for $4.99, and below, venues.

Dont' spend more then $5, this is a one night stand of a videogame.

It's fun damnit, there are a few instances of bad camera angles, but nothing compared to my early experiences with resident evil years ago, I swear people forget what REAL bad camera angels look like. If that game started on steam Resident Evil two would have never been released.

To enjoy this game tou will need:

1. A freind or family member (they don't need to know anything about Warhammer, I used my wife:)

2. To calm the ♥♥♥♥ down! The game can get intense but it's a good intense. It can be enjoyed with some laughter and an acceptance that achivements* (such a B.S.. creation), and max score mean nothing. There are 10 year olds in Japan right now that trippled whatever you'll get anyways.

3. Alchohol, you can even make it a drinking game for whenever you hear "Brother!" or "WAAAAGGGGHHH!!!"

4. An appreciation for arcade classics. This is a shootem' up game, that's it. Boom boom, bang mutha flippin bang! It's back story is a 20 second cut sceen, but that's all it needs for what it is."

8/10 My wife actually loved it and wished it was longer.

A top-down iso-shooter in the warhammer universe. Not a too good, but not too bad either. Because top-down iso-shooter fans don't have too big collection to choose from and most participant is pretty bad i must recommend this, as it's playable at least.
Pros:
- Cool graphics,.Not too sophisticated, but does the job. I love warhammer style, especially the ork's statues are funny cool.
- Great sound, even the music is 'there'.
- Solid gameplay.
-4 different chars, but the gameplay only slighty differs.
-Easy to get 100% achievements, at least with a friend.
Cons:
- Short, only 5 levels.
- No difficulty settings, and the 3rd and the last levels are pretty hard for mediocre players.
- The melee characters IMHO useless in later levels.
- Awfull checkpoint system, too big gaps between each.
- The camera is fixed and operated by the game. Sometimes, not even rarely, it goes behind walls or simply shows the other way rather than where you wanna see.
- Unskippable gamescenes. That's the worst! You die and start from the last checkpoint, but mostly all starts with a gamescene you have to view again and again and again. I had some pretty bad thoughts about the designers and the testers.

6/10 Better than mediocre top-down isometric shooter. Fun for a playthrough.

As a huge Warhammer fan, I enjoy almost any game in the franchise, as long as it's playable.

This game is not playable. On the 2nd stage the camera got locked behind the terrain and wouldn't move, so that I was looking at a very tiny character from behind multiple layers of terrain, making the game simply unplayable.

Some very basic bugtesting would have been...adequate. Sadly, it was not possible to explore the rest of the game, nor desirable to; the stilted camera panning and forced waiting to show you where to go (in what is basically a linear corridor shooter) was completely unneeded and interrupts any sense of fun. The fact that this is a console game is evident as soon as you realize you can't even use the mouse for menu options, and the lack of overall quality further reflects that whatever this game was supposed to be was held back by being a console game first and foremost. Very disappointing.

0/10 not playable, not worth a purchase for ANY discount.

Grade = C. Worth a buy, for who enjoy score attack in gunning + melee kills. However, for who want cannot accept bug, don't buy it

This warhammer game reuses assets from the space marine game, not a bad thing. You feel less like a kill team and more like a patient at a doctors office, everything is a waiting game. Everytime you enter a section the game stops and spends 10-15 seconds showing you the area there is no way to skip this. Everytime you die at some parts and restart your faced with another wait period while it explains the same thing again. Even starting new game has a waiting period of 10 secs for no reason. This game is more like heresy that will drive any player to the point of chaos as the ruinous powers of the warp tear their mind apart at how tedious and boring this game is. Could have been a great arcadey shooter if it didnt stop the play ever minute or every area for some panoramic camera showoff of the area. Not a horrible game but not great since it breaks up the action, make sure to only buy it on sale.

Rating: 5/10 Value: $4.99

These are my first impressions of the game. I have a video for it for those who perfer watching instead of reading:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxR2iKxoUDQ&feature=youtu.be
Pros:
You can pick your chapter marines (select few).
4 classes with customizable weapons and perks.
Powerups and grenade.
Survival mode.
Fully voiced codex entries.
Unlockable collectibles.
Local Co-op (2 player).
Drop in Co-op.

Cons:
Repetitive, no variety, there are no weapon pickups in a level.
Performs badly (60fps is easy but tanks with v-sync off between 70 to 220fps).
Can't access graphics options in the middle of a game.
Low resolution textures (although there is nice detail in the environments).
No easy Drop Out co-op.
No online multiplayer.
Camera is bad, it can bug out and get stuck or be at bad angle transitions causing enemies to hit you from off-screen.
No steam trading cards (minor but I feel I should mention it).
Little warhammer implementation, seems like another game with a warhammer skin slapped on it at the last minute.
Heavily re-used assets within the game and many assets used from other warhammer games under the THQ name (this game was originally on console under THQ in 2011)

I will continue playing and my perspective of the game might change a bit but with the gameplay being so boring it won't make much of an impact. Until then buy Renegade Ops or Halo: Spartan Assault instead. Wait for a sale if you REALLY like warhammer and twin stick shooters.

This game is a disgrace to the emperor!

*Warning: spoilers*

Very nice effort but not executed right.

Warhammer 40k - Kill Team is another effort to leech on the success of the franchise. It is a third person shooter indie game where you can play solo or co-op on an Orc cruiser. It has five story missions and five survival missions.

I must say that all the Orc and Tyranid units look good and reminds me of Dawn of War II, the way it is supposed to. The sound effects are nice, the classic weapons are all there and the bullet cases stay on the ground when you shoot.

But despite all this, the gameplay is horrendous. Cheap deaths by sudden pit falls and Orc Shoota Boyz that kill you faster than a Orc Melee Nob. But that is not the worst, oh no sir, the worst thing in this game is the camera. The game camera is so freaking bad, it made me cry. It is always in a awkward angle, does not rotate with you and sometimes glitches so you get your ♥♥♥ handed to you by enemies off the screen.

One other thing that made me furious are the unskippable cutscenes. There are a lot of them and they take forever. They show you a certain switch you must activate and then the screen stays locked on that switch for 10 seconds. Also, when you die, you need to watch the whole ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ movie again. It made my skin crawl, i pressed every damn button on my keyboard and hoped it worked but no.

So in conclusion, the effort is nice, the Warhammer 40 000 theme is there, the units, weapons and bosses are nice but the way it is played with the drunk camera and the cutscenes you can't skip made it a real chore to finish for me. Definitely not worth 10 euro's/dollars
