Campaign/Story in Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 1 and 2

[Furious Ming]

Hi, i am a pure single player/campaign/story guy, maybe a few skirmish matches against the AI.
Does this game or its predecessor have such a mode? Is it any good? How long is it? Do the 2 games connect?
Thanks in advance.

That’s not what he asked. I picked it up during this sale op, so far I had good impressions. It’s also a lot more “ heroic “ instead of grimderp so far unlike most 40k games

The main character from the campaign of the first game returns for the Imperial Navy campaign in the second game, I have only just started on 2, so I don't know if any other characters also return. The location of the two stories is different.

I paid 7 bucks for it and have already gotten my money's worth. I guess I haven't hit all the bugs but I am loving the mechanics so far. I would have paid more for it.

The games reflect the happenings of the twelfth black crusade - aka the gothic campaign, as it is written in the battlefleet gothic table top game rule book. (this is BFG:A part 1)

And the thirteenth black crusade and it's aftermath, BFG:A2

They are not dependent on each other.
But in Part 2, there are some references to what happened in part 1.


Spire remembering the inquisitor from the first game
or telling a long lost captain that he can not be alive, etc.

But you don't need the first game to understand what happens in the second.

IMO the first game is better than the second

i really prefer the ability to automate stuff on the battlefield with right clicking on certain abilities.

Both games have a pretty long campaign. Both games are loosely connected, and I believe based on books that take place around the two games, though your character isn't in any books, as far as I know.

I agree that the first game had a better campaign. Even though the campaign in the second game has a lot more going on in the strategic layer, it actually feels like it has too much going on. This is coming from someone who plays plenty of strategy games. The first game's strategy layer was simple, but effective. The story is also simpler and more focused.

Still, I enjoyed both games' campaigns. Never tried the MP though. It's not my style.
